If you need to mount the POV.1 to a weapon, the C-clamp can be attached
directly to a Picatinny Rail, which is found on many firearms and is used for

Picatinny rail, and secure it with the screw-pin.
Tips for Mounting the POV.1
The POV.1 camera head can be mounted almost anywhere allowing you to
capture video from a wide range of different perspectives. Where you
choose to place the camera head will depend on your specific application.
The flexibility of the POV.1 allows you to shoot video from perspectives
that would normally be hard to capture, so it’s worth trying a variety of
different shots to see what the action looks like from that angle.
In order to help give you some ideas, here are some tips that cover a variety
of applications.

helps provide consistent exposure for your video.
For many action shots mounting the camera onto your head, helmet,
headgear, or body provides smoother video, since your body absorbs some
of the shocks.
Keep in mind that rapid movement of the camera head will often create
blurry images. If you are creating video where clarity is important and you
mount the camera on your head or headgear try to keep your head steady and
not turn your head too rapidly from side to side. If you do want to turn your
head to capture something turn it as slowly and smoothly as possible to help
make the video easier to watch.
It is often helpful to use a frame of reference in your shot that allows
someone watching the video to relate more easily to what they are seeing.
Examples of things you might include in your video to provide a frame of
reference are:
