How to install the Bike Kit

1. Secure the Handlebar Mount

Fix the Handlebar Mount to your bike's handlebar, seat post, or other suitable positions, then tighten the knob.

1. Connect the adapter

Depending on your camera's mounting point type, use either the 2-prong to 1/4" Adapter or the 3-prong to 1/4" Adapter from the kit to connect your camera.

Please note: To secure the adapter more effectively, it is recommended to apply transparent anti-slip rings to the mounting point.

Align the camera (with the adapter already attached) with the adapter mounting point on the Handlebar Mount. Slowly join them together, then tighten clockwise to secure the camera.

Accessory 2: Chest Strap

Follow the steps below to ensure the Chest Strap is comfortable to wear, the center of gravity is stable, and the camera is securely mounted.

1. Wear the Chest Strap

Wear the Chest Strap like a backpack. Adjust the shoulder straps and waist strap to a comfortable and snug fit, ensuring a stable center of gravity.

1. Connect your camera

Depending on the camera's mounting point type, use the appropriate adapter from the kit to connect the camera to the central mounting point on the Chest Strap.

Please note: To secure the adapter more effectively, it is recommended to apply transparent anti-slip rings to the mounting point.

FAQ

1. Can the rubber inserts of the Handlebar Mount be removed?

You can choose whether to remove the rubber inserts depending on the diameter of the tube where the Handlebar Mount will be used.

The Handlebar Mount is suitable for the following tube diameters:

• With rubber inserts: 0.31in (0.8cm) to 0.63in (1.6cm).
• Without rubber inserts: 0.87in (2.2cm) to 1.38in (3.5cm) (a silicone pad remains inside the mount after the rubber inserts are removed to protect the handlebar from damage).

2. Can the Handlebar Mount be hidden from view when shooting with a 360 camera?

The Handlebar Mount cannot be completely invisible in the shot. Its bottom may be slightly visible at the edge of the frame, especially when the clamp is close to the camera. This is unavoidable.
