Fitting of devices to a MultiPod (upper mount), all versions:
There are several attachment methods to fit devices to the various MultiPod
versions ("Long" and "Short"). See below for details:
6a. MultiPod "Individually" ("Einzeln"):
You can use a 6 or (preferably) 8mm bolt to fit a bracket or device to the
upper ball joint in a similar fashion as described in points 2-4.
6b. MultiPod "MediaBag Edition", "Long", "Short" and "Carbon" versions:
Make sure the 4 screws holding the flat attachment plate are tightened (Im-
age B1), before mounting the MediaBag or any other device to the carrier
plate. The flat carrier plate also has two holes (Image B2) to attach a camera
(remove the "O" ring from the supplied camera bolt first). Complete removal
of the flat carrier plate and the "silent block" rubber mounts allows fitting
of a camera directly to the "X"-shaped adapter with the supplied camera bolt
(Image H1, remove "O"-ring from bolt first).
6c. MultiPod "Navigator" for BMW Navigator/TomTom Rider/Garmin Zumo, "Long",
"Short", "Carbon" and "Extrem" versions:
First ensure the "silent block" rubber mounts are screwed in the correct holes
of the "X" bracket for the device you want to fit (see images F + H).
Note: Complete removal of the rubber mounts allows fitting of a camera with
the supplied camera bolt directly onto the "X"-Adapter (remove the "O" ring
from the bolt first, Image H1).
To attach the TomTom Rider bracket to the rubber mounts (Images F + G),
use the 4 supplied round headed bolts.
To attach the BMW Navigator bracket (Image H + I) use 2 of the supplied
short counter sunk bolts on top and the 2 longer ones at the bottom.
To attach the Garmin Sumo bracket (Images H + J) use four M4x30 counter
sunk bolts.
7. For additional safety, the rubber mounts and the screws holding the various
brackets can be secured using a medium strength thread locking fluid. The
MultiPod was successfully tested for devices of up to 750 grams (1.6 lb)
weight.
8. Note: Check the tightness of the wing nuts and the MultiPod attachment on
a regular basis. Never try to adjust the MultiPod without loosening the wing
nuts. When dismantling the MultiPod (or one of the joints), the set screw
needs to be removed as well to avoid damage.
