Connect your camera to the camera adapter using the built-in thumb screw.
Adjust the angle of the camera adapter to the desirable position and tighten the side screw.
Put the camera in self-timer mode
Fully extend the XShot
Engage self-timer
Make sure the lens is pointing at you and smile!
Please keep in mind that the XShot was designed to be used when it is fully extended. This will allow you to get a good view of the background behind the subjects. It also allows you to have up to 5 people in the picture!
Please keep in mind that the XShot is designed for digital compact cameras.
The XShot is also great for video diaries and for taking videos. If you place your camera in video mode and spin in place for 360 degrees, when the video is played back it looks 3D as if everything is revolving around you. Perfect for capturing your surroundings when traveling to an exotic place or just for making fun videos! Drop us an email and let us know if you post any videos to YouTube. We’d love to see them.
