Installation steps

  1. Remove the stock mount. Unscrew the 4 Torx screws in the corners of the plastic bracket holding the stock ~½” ball.
  2. Assemble the RAM ball. Insert the RAM-B-337U ball, hex side into the opening on the JK3D adapter bracket, and make sure the hex seats fully. Thread the ¼”-20 flat-head screw in from the back of the bracket (add blue threadlocker if you like).
  3. Attach the bracket to the camera. Set the assembled bracket on the back of the AIO-5 Lite. On each 3 mm screw, put a lock washer then a flat washer (flat washer toward the bracket). Drive all 4 into the back of the AIO-5 in a cross pattern, with a dab of blue threadlocker on the bottom few threads.
  4. Mount it on whatever RAM mount you’re running, and go for a ride.
✓ You’re done when: the RAM ball is fully seated and secure, all 4 screws are snug in a cross pattern, and the AIO-5 clamps solidly onto your RAM mount. Follow-up: after about a month of use — or after very hot temperatures — recheck the 4× 3 mm screws for security.
