Place your bracket onto the mounting surface and use a pencil to mark the screw holes. Make sure that the bracket is in the correct location before you mark the holes.
-
When you are happy with the location, drill the holes in the mounting surface using an appropriate drill bit.

Assemble the X100 onto the mounting bracket using the 2x mounting knobs.
Fist-mic holster mounting
Even though the fist-mic is connected to the X100 by cable, you don’t want it swinging loose while your vessel is moving. Install it close enough to the X100 so it's always easily accessible.
-
Make sure the holster is installed in a flat, clear area with enough space around it so you can easily insert and remove the fist-mic.
-
Use the fist-mic bracket or the template to mark the screw hole positions on the mounting surface making sure the substrate behind the intended location is solid enough to the fist- mic securely and robustly.
-
Drill two holes for the mounting fixings using a suitable drill bit. Make sure there is nothing behind the mounting surface before drilling.
-
Use the 2 No. 8 x 38mm Pozi countersunk stainless steel screws to secure the holster to the mounting surface.
-
And finally, slot the fist-mic into the holster.
