Helmet/Riding Hat Set Up

• You can choose whether you mount the camera on the side or top of the helmet by using the curved, flat 3m sticky mounts or the cycle helmet strap mount. This is a personal choice. We also supply a strap to fit a riding hat (see below)
• The Techalogic camera uses standard action camera style mounts so there is a wealth of different types of mounts available. We have included the most commonly used in our Kit.
• Below are a couple of photos showing how the camera is mounted directly to the main camera holder, via the quick-release clip and secured into either the 3m flat/curved or cycle helmet mount.

If you prefer to have the camera mounted closer to the side of your riding helmet you place the included angle bracket in between the camera holder and the quick-release clip. See photo below:

• When mounting and angling the camera of course you want to achieve the best point of view (POV) as possible.
• We suggest before securing the mount to your helmet, use the live view in the App.
• Then review both front and rear to double-check check you are getting the best results for your helmet and riding position.
• The quick-release clip has a unique rotating bezel allowing you to adjust the camera angle once it’s mounted to your helmet.

Horse Riding Hat Strap

• The camera has been designed to be easily and safely fitted to any style of horse-riding hat. Fit the specially designed elasticated anti slip strap to your riding hat and tension to ensure it is nice and tight so camera will be stable.
• You quite simply use the angle bracket and main camera holder to secure the camera to the side of your riding hat.

App/Camera Settings
To change settings within the App or to format the SD card you must stop recording. Tap the red icon at the bottom of the screen and then select the cog icon at the top of the screen. You can select the video resolution required and other settings. Please note that the camera is pre-set to loop record and file segment sizes of 3 minutes and this cannot be changed.
