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

  6. Putting the camera mounting plug on the C-bracket
  7. 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.
