Remove the back from
the housing. The
mounting tray for the
camera is secured to
the housing back.
Position the camera
and lens on the tray,
and then secure it with
the mounting bolt
which threads into the
camera’s tripod socket.
Use a coin or flathead
screwdriver (preferred)
to tighten the
mounting bolt so the
camera bottom is tight against the tray.
