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:
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.
Alligator Clip
This mount (aka Gator Clip), has teeth that allow it to be quickly attached to most places on a uniform. It can also rotate 360 degrees, with 12 locking points, to ensure the correct capture orientation for the BWC.
Watch the video below for how to attach the Gator Clip to a BWC:
MOLLE Mount
This mount allows for attaching a BWC to almost any item that uses the MOLLE standard. It is typically used to attach to armor plate carriers used by law enforcement and military.
