  1. Mounting Buckle

  2. Thumb Screw

ATTACHING YOUR CAMERA TO MOUNTS

Depending on the mount you’re using, you’ll either use a mounting buckle or attach your GoPro directly to the mount itself.

See Using Adhesive Mounts for tips on using adhesive mounts.

  1. Flip the folding fingers down into the mounting position.

  2. Interlock the folding fingers on your camera with the mounting fingers on the buckle.

  3. Secure your camera to the mounting buckle with a thumb screw.

  4. Attach the mounting buckle to the mount.

    1. Flip up the mounting buckle plug.

    2. Slide the buckle into the mount until it clicks into place.

    3. Press the plug back down so that it sits flush with the buckle

USING ADHESIVE MOUNTS

Follow these guidelines when attaching adhesive mounts to helmets, vehicles, and gear:

  • Attach mounts at least 24 hours before you use them.

  • Only attach the mounts to smooth surfaces. They won’t stick properly to porous or textured surfaces.

  • Firmly press mounts into place. Be sure the adhesive is in full contact with the surface.

  • Only use on clean, dry surfaces. Wax, oil, dirt, or other debris will weaken the bond, and you could lose your camera.

  • Attach mounts in room temperature conditions. They won’t stick properly in cold or damp environments or on cold or damp surfaces.

  • Check state and local regulations and laws to ensure that attaching a camera to equipment (such as hunting gear) is permitted. Always comply with regulations that restrict the use of consumer electronics or cameras.

🚧

WARNING: The Curved Adhesive Mount and Mounting Buckle included with MAX may be used for helmet mounting. Do not use the Curved Fusion Mount (included with Fusion Mounts, sold separately) to mount MAX to a helmet.

Always use a helmet that meets applicable safety standards if you’re using a GoPro helmet mount or strap.

Choose the right helmet for your sport or activity, and make sure that it’s the right size and fit for you. Check to see that your helmet’s in good condition, and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on safe use.

Replace any helmet that’s been subjected to a major impact. No helmet can protect against injury in every accident. Be safe.

To avoid injury, do not use a tether when mounting the camera on a helmet. Do not mount the camera directly on skis or snowboards.

USING YOUR GOPRO AROUND WATER

MAX is waterproof to 16ft (5m). You won’t need an additional housing to capture surf footage or any other shots on the water. MAX is not designed for underwater use.

The touch screen may not work when wet, but you can use the Mode button to switch between Video, Photo, and Time Lapse modes when your camera is on.

PRO TIP: Use Screen Lock to prevent water from accidentally triggering and changing settings on the touch screen.
