Mounting an Archos 605 recorder on a snowmobile sled
16 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The recorder should be positioned where the operator can easily access its controls and menus, or positioned for weight distribution if using a remote control
- A travel adapter that accepts video input on one connector and provides charging on another connector can be used to input video to the Archos 605 without requiring a docking bracket
- Mounting the recorder on a monitor arm allows the screen to remain visible and the control buttons to stay accessible during operation
Depends on
- The advice is specific to the Archos 605 model and XCS Ultimate 2 sled
- No final decision was documented regarding the optimal bracket location between the battery area or above the batteries
