When mounted on the mask, the camera seems to swivel much too freely.. Is it a problem to keep the camera pointed straight while mounted?

Are you certain you have it tightened? I don't have that problem but have found that my GoPole is easier to control my shots. I put it on a retractor.

I never had this problem. Try locking it down harder. Honestly, use a pole mount, I have both, you get a better picture.

I use the bolt and spacer that came with the gopro kit it has a knob so you can tighten it with no tools

Not at all, but it takes some tightening with the correct size Allen wrench. I forget the size. Just make it snug.

If you tighten down the screw with an Alan key (any hardware store/scuba guide should have one handy) then it should keep the camera pointed straight. If all you did was finger tighten then it'll probably slip.

Just tight the bolt strong enough and it should be fine, if its loose be sure to tighten a bit.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way torig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking fromthe rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If youbracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it'snot hi-tech but the method works.

There is a small bracket with a pivot ball connecting to the back of the camera unit. It has a small range of motion, so you can tip the camera a little in any direction. However, you can't point it too far to the side or down. Depending on how far you want to rotate it, you might need to mount the bracket to something that is already pointed more in the direction you want. It worked OK for me, although I wished I could have rotated the camera a little farther.

Yes Sometimes when I use the long zoom, I use the viewfinder against my face just to steady the camera. Great camera.

Yes sir. Yet it's not design for that. If you have the lens tilted it's really hard to balance it. 1 more thing... This is one awesome item.

Mine was the same way, thought I'd gotten the wrong lens. I contacted Olympus and they said it shouldn't be like that and to exchange it if I wanted. I didn't want to mess with it and it has become easier to put on and take off without making the mounting too loose for my other lens. It worked itself out.

Only to the extent that obviously you cannot flip it around and tilt all the way down and face it to the front of the camera. Other than that it does not interfere.

I suppose that you could loosen the camera on the mount but , that would introduce some wobble into the footage as well as the danger of skewing the viewpoint.

Hey Boris. It protrudes slightly into the FOV on the left hand side. It's normal. I remembered noticing it when I first got mine. It's never been an issue though.

The more quickly you move the camera up and down the strap the more likely the strap is to shift on your shoulder. If you try to hang the camera down and the strap isn't secure on your shoulder there is a slight possibly of dropping your rig. The strap makes that impossible. I feel very secure and confident about my gear when I have the under the arm strap attached.

i mounted it on a rhino mount connected to a ph helmet and it sat too far forward. even with the mounts rail set all the way rearward. because of this, you will never get a good sight picture and i am now considering buying the rifle mount and just mounting this monocular right behind an aimpoint pro. i am hesitant because im not sure it will co-witness.

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side. Hope this will help. Richard.

I have had this problem. Very gently wiggling the lens seems to retract the lens, with no observable effect, at least in my case. But do so at your own risk! This camera has become useless to me for a different reason -- dust has collected on the lens inside the camera, with no obvious way to open the camera to clean it. I get very bad blotches on my photos, especially when using the zoom.

The camera is easily tilted. I have not had any problems adjusting to the right angle for viewing.

Yep that is the way it performs with my camera also....but that is the way it is suppose to work. I have mine lens set at max to get rid of the circle.

They make 2 different mounting styles. There's one that clamps on to the feedneck of a speedball gun and another that clamps on to a picatinny rail for the tactical style guns. Personally I run this camera on the side of my mask and have gotten the best results that way. The film from being attached to the gun ends up being pointed at the ground a lot more than you'd think.
