Step 1: Put on and configure the harness or belt

For the Backpack Harness, configure the fit and put it on. See Configure GX1 backpack fit and Mount the GX1 and put on the backpack.

  3. Adjust the Supported Handheld Pole so the GX1 will be comfortable to hold, and confirm the pole seats securely in the Waist Socket.

Step 4: Attach the Supported Handheld Tethers

  1. Clip the Shoulder Clips on the Supported Handheld Tethers to the Shoulder Strap D-Rings on the Backpack Harness.

  2. Adjust the Length Adjusters to remove slack from the Supported Handheld Tethers.

To detach the tethers, reverse these steps: unclip the Shoulder Clips from the Shoulder Strap D-Rings.
