How to use the DQD Mounting System
Step 1
Gather Your Gear
- Ensure you have your DQD Mount body, heads, feet, and any gadgets you plan on mounting (cameras, scopes, etc.).
- A small padlock if you’re into locking things down.
Step 2
Choose Your Foot
- Decide where you want to mount your gear.
- Pick the appropriate foot for your surface – whether it’s a tripod, tree, car, or your grandma’s knitting machine.
- Attach the foot to the mount body by aligning it and attaching it to the body with two 10-32 screws.
Step 3
Mount Your Gadget
- Select the head that matches your gadget.
- Place your gadget onto the head.
- Look for the attachment point on your gear. It’s usually a screw or mount compatible with our system.
- Screw or lock your gadget onto the head. Make sure it’s snug; we don’t want anything flopping around.
- DQD recommends the use of blue loctite if using screws.
Step 4
Head Attachment
- Line up the head with the mount body.
- Push the head down and push the paddle in until it locks into place. Remember, this part looks like… well, let’s say it’s anatomically amusing.
Step 5
The Paddle Button
- That cheeky little button on the front of the mount body? That’s your paddle.
- To release your gadget, press the paddle and lift your gear off. It should come off quicker than your last New Year’s resolution.
Step 6
Switching Gear
- To switch between different gadgets, just repeat steps 3 and 4.
- The beauty here is speed – think of it as speed dating for your equipment.
Step 7
The Paddle Button
- If you’re worried about your gear running off or getting nicked, slide a small padlock through the designated hole on the paddle to keep your mount faithful.
Step 8
Testing
- Give your setup a gentle shake. If it’s not coming loose, you’re golden.
- Test in various conditions if you’re planning on using it outdoors or in “dynamic” environments.
- Pull on the head too make sure it does not come off, on rare occasions it will pop of once or twice and be rock solid.
Step 9
Maintenance
- Our mounts are tough, but a little love goes a long way. Keep them clean, especially if they’ve been through mud or rain.
- Check for any wear and tear. DQD Mounts are built to last, but like any relationship, they need a bit of attention.
Step 10
Enjoy
- Now that your gear is mounted like it’s meant to be, go out there and do whatever it is you do with your now perfectly secured equipment. Whether it’s photography, hunting, or just showing off to your friends.
Note: If at any point you feel like you’re doing something wrong because things aren’t fitting or clicking, you might just be putting the head on backwards. If you have any questions give us a call, email or check out our youtube channel.

About DQD Mounting Systems
What’s the Big Deal?
Our system uses a smart, simple design with a push-button “paddle” that’ll make you feel like you’re unlocking a safe full of awesomeness. The mount body comes with interchangeable “HEADS“(that’s the part that connects to your gear) and “FEET” (that’s what attaches to whatever you’re mounting it to). And no, we’re not talking about your feet… unless you want to. The heads snap onto anything from your spotting scopes, cameras, GoPros, rifles, shotguns, archery bows, and more — the feet secure the whole setup to anything you want: tripods, sandbags, trees, tables, cars, or even a post-apocalyptic bike gang’s tricked-out van.
This is the “no excuses” mounting system that doesn’t just hold your gear, it locks it down like it’s guarding the last pack of toilet paper during a pandemic.
Push the button, and boom — swap your gear like a pro. Whether you’re a wildlife photographer, a gun enthusiast, an archery fanatic, or just someone who likes to mount “stuff”, this system is as versatile as your imagination.
Built Tough
CNC-machined and crafted from top-quality materials, our mounts are tougher than a diamond in a wrestling match. These bad boys can withstand the elements—rain, mud, snow, whatever your outdoor adventures throw at them. Because let’s face it, gear doesn’t stop getting dirty just because you want a smooth transition from spotting scope to rifle, or camera to drone.
The Locking Mechanism
Here’s where it gets fun: our system can be locked down with a small padlock (like a mischievous little secret you can keep to yourself). Now, no one’s going to be messing with your precious gear. It’s secure, it’s fast, and it’s just the kind of security you need when you’re on the move.
What Can You Mount?
If you can dream it, you can mount it. Cameras, spotting scopes, binoculars, rifles, shotguns, archery bows, rangefinders, lights, phones, tablets, drones, you name it. Hell, if it’s got a place to hook it up, we’ve got a mount for it. If you think we’re joking, we’ll mount a beer bottle to a tripod and prove you wrong.
