  1. Pull the plastic camera base apart from the Logitech camera.

  2. Remove the camera mounting plug from the camera base.

  3. Using the wire cutters, snip the plastic wings off the camera mounting plug. Only snip off the pair of wings closest to the camera mount point.

  4. Open the pan-tilt kit and remove the C bracket. Push the camera mounting plug through the center hole of the C bracket, such that the camera mount point is on the outside of the bracket.

  5. Push the camera back on the camera mounting plug.

  6. Place a zip tie around the camera mounting plug between the C bracket and the camera. Tie the zip tie to itself and tighten - this will act as a spacer to keep the camera from bouncing up and down. Use the wire cutters to snip off the excess zip tie.

  7. Assemble the pan/tilt head as per the kit instructions.

  8. Use a cable tie to attach the camera cable to the C bracket as shown.
