MOUNTS + ACCESSORIES

Attaching Camera to Mounts

Attach the HERO3 to curved or ﬂat surfaces using one of the many GoPro mount

accessories. The HERO3 camera, attachment buckle, proper mount and thumb

screw are all it takes.

Attaching camera to a helmet, surfboard, vehicle or just about anything is

fast and easy. The attachment buckle permits camera to be clicked ON/OFF a

secured adhesive mount in an instant.

ATTACHING ADHESIVE MOUNTS

• Apply to clean surface only. Carefully clean surface where mount will be

attached. Wax, oil, dirt or other debris will reduce adhesion, which can

result in a weak bond and risk of losing camera should connection fail.

• Attach mount in room temperature conditions. Mount’s adhesive will not

bond properly if applied in cold or damp environments.

• Adhesive mounts can only be mounted to smooth surfaces; porous or

textured surfaces will not enable a proper bond. When applying mount,

ﬁrmly press into place and ensure full contact over entire surface.

• For best results, attach the mount a minimum of 24 hours prior to use.

Locking Plug

Using the HERO3 in high impact sports such as surﬁng or skiing

where signiﬁcant vibration may occur? Use the special locking

plug (optional purchase) which securely locks the attachment

buckle ﬁngers into place--helping prevent accidental housing

release from mount.
