Overview

One of the most important accessories for a BWC, is its mount. One size may not fit all, so it is important to select a mount that works best, allowing for ease of use. Two generations of mounts are used for attaching Getac BWCs to uniforms:

• 1st generation or Gen 1.

  Caution:

  1st generation mounts are no longer available for purchase.

• 2nd generation or Gen 2.

Note:

• The Quick Twist Adapter is provided at no cost with the purchase of any Gen 2 mount and works with any generation of Getac BWC.

Quick Twist Adapter Installation

Watch the video below for how to install the adapter:

Caution:

• This must be completed PRIOR to attempting to attach a Gen 2 Mount.

• Use of Loctite®  or other thread locker (not included) is recommended to prevent the set screw from backing out due to vibration during normal use.

• Once mounted, the orientation of the camera is important to maintain up/down. If the camera is knocked to the side, it will not reorient the capture angle of the camera. This will cause Assets (videos) to be captured sideways or upside down.
