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