Features
OutRide by mophie is a hardware and application
solution for iPhone 4S that includes a wide-angle
lens, a built-for-impact case and a mounting system.
The OutRide app for iPhone makes recording and
sharing your activity even easier. Get it now in the
app store. For up to date information on OutRide,
the OutRide app, mounts and support, please visit

Here’s a rundown of why OutRide is dierent:
1. Built-in, wide-angle glass lens gives your
already great iPhone camera an even better
perspective of the activity you’re lming.
2. Hard-shell case securely protects your iPhone
from knocks, scrapes and bashes.
3. Soft interior cushions your iPhone from hard
blows and keeps vibration to a minimum.
4. Action button lets you start recording without
needing screen access, keeping everything
sealed up and your iPhone safe and protected.

5
5. Multiple mount options let you choose how
and where you mount your OutRide to best
capture your activity. A bunch of mounts are
already included and additional mounts can be
purchased separately to customize OutRide to
your needs.
6. The angle-lock feature on all our mounts
makes sure OutRide stays positioned exactly
where you put it. No more nishing an epic
run only to nd your camera in a completely
dierent position than when you hit record.
7. Interchangeable case backs★★ let you choose
whether you want access to the home button
and touch screen, or a fully waterproof enclosure.
Choose what’s appropriate, as you need it.
★ ★ The DryLand back allows access to the home
button and screen with a tight seal against
the glass providing one-touch access while
keeping unexpected splashes at bay.
★ ★ The WaterSports back makes OutRide
fully waterproof so splashes and even full
submersion are no problem. It’s IP68 tested
and ready when you are.

Compatibility
OutRide by mophie is built specically for iPhone
4S and will work with all carrier versions. Don’t have
an iPhone 4S? OutRide ts iPhone4 great as well.
*Note: OutRide widens the eld of view of your
iPhone’s camera, but it cannot improve image
stabilization beyond that of the hardware and
software version of your particular iPhone.
Whenever possible we recommend updating your
device to the newest iOS for the best results. While
OutRide’s mounts are built to be secure and stable,
some activities and your ability level may generate
more vibration than optics and image stabilization
can handle. In these scenarios you can isolate
OutRide from vibrations by mounting it on your
body with a chest harness or helmet mount. Try
dierent solutions to nd what works best for you.
SETUP
Download the app
The OutRide app was designed specically for use
with the OutRide case. It has a number of features
that make your recording experience better and
makes those recordings even easier to share. It’s
free, and available now at the app store. Go on, we’ll
wait right here.

Opening OutRide:
1. Pull up on the clasp release at the top of the
case and then swing the clasp latch up. (It may
be necessary to hold the case slightly closed
with your other hand)
2. With the lens-side door now free, use the
thumb tab to swing it down for full access.
Loading your iPhone
1. With the volume buttons toward the bottom
(mount side) of OutRide, place the screen
side of the iPhone into the deep-side of the
case. Lead with the volume buttons so that
they properly seat on top of OutRide’s action
button. Your iPhone camera should now be
opposite OutRide’s wide-angle camera lens,
and you’re ready to close the case.
Closing OutRide:
1. Make sure all gaskets and internal pads are
seated properly, and your iPhone is properly
installed (if inserted) before closing the case.
2. Close the case slowly making sure the leading
edge of the gasket enters the other side of the
case smoothly.
3. Inspect all 4 sides for gasket alignment. The
gasket is designed to easily show a bad seal.
All smooth inside? - it’s good to go. Pinched in
the door? - close once more.

8
4. Swing the clasp latch over the lens door’s catch
then close the clasp. (It may be necessary
to hold the case slightly closed with your
other hand)
Removing your iPhone
1. Follow the steps above for opening OutRide.
2. If using the WaterSports Back, you may need
to gently tap the case until your iPhone leans
forward and can be pulled free.
3. If using the DryLand Back, you can push on
your iPhone through the screen opening on
OutRide. (just remember to have your other
hand ready to catch)
Decide which case back to use
It’s easy to change between a waterproof
enclosure and screen access by switching the
backs on your OutRide.
1. Open OutRide until the front door is 90º to the
back door.
2. Hold OutRide so the open side is toward you
with the back casesecurely in one hand.
3. Grab the front door with your other hand
placing your thumb at the corner by the hinge.
4. Push with your thumb and twist away from the
back case to remove the door.

9
5. To install a door, line up the hinges with the
front door at 90º to the back door.
6. Press rmly with your thumb on each hinge
until you hear a satisfying snap as it locks
into place.
7. Conrm the door is properly in place by closing
OutRide and checking the seal.
*Note: To keep your iPhone as dry and safe as
possible, we’ve purpose-built the WaterSports
version of OutRide with the minimum required
access for recording. Once in the case, you’ll only
have access to the volume (+) button for activating
the recording function. You will not be able to
access the power, home button or touch screen.
This means your iPhone needs to be on, with the
OutRide app open and in record mode BEFORE
you close the case. The OutRide iPhone app was
designed with this in mind to automatically keep
your iPhone awake and ready to record. To save
battery power, you may want to turn your phone
o before closing the case and plan for a dry place
to open OutRide, power up and launch the app.
Likewise if you’re using the DryLand version, but
you’ll still have the screen and home button access
you know and love so powering up is a bit easier.

10
*Note: Two adhesive panels are included to help
reduce moisture and prevent fogging if you will be
using OutRide near water or in a moist climate. These
can be used a few times if dried out between uses.
Just peel and stick to the square areas on the inside
of OutRide. Store in a plastic bag if not used.
Recording your first activity
1. Make sure your iPhone is powered on with the
OutRide app active and in record mode.
2. If your iPhone is already placed in OutRide and
you need to turn your phone on:
• for DryLand case:
- Press the home button and swipe to unlock
- Launch the app
- Hit the camera icon to enter recording mode
• for WaterSports case:
- Find a dry place to open OutRide
- Turn on your iPhone and launch the app
- Hit the camera icon to enter recording mode
- Return your iPhone to OutRide and close it
up securely
3. To start recording, press the Action button to
the left of the mount.
4. To stop recording, press the Action button again.

11
*Note: Your video will only be as clean as your
lens. Check the lens surface inside OutRide for
dirt and smudges before closing the case. Check
the outside lens surface frequently since that’s
exposed to your activity.
Using the OutRide App
• To switch between video and photo mode,
press the slider area between the camera
and video camera icons just like in the native
iPhone camera app.
• In Camera Mode, each press of the Action
button takes a picture.
• In Video Mode, toggle between the four
capture modes by pressing the setting in
the upper left corner. You can choose from
30FPS-720P, 60FPS-720P, and 30FPS-1080P.
• In Video Mode you can zoom out to letterbox
view by double tapping the screen.
• To return to the main OutRide Screen, hit the
Return button in the upper right corner.
• The default focus setting is auto-focus. To
set the focus on a particular point as you
start recording, just press the screen where
you want to focus. However, the camera will
constantly adjust focus during use, which can
be very useful at times.

12
• To lock the focus, press and hold the screen
until you see the words “Focus Locked” at
the bottom. This keeps the focus as you see
it on your screen. This setting does not lock
the exposure, which makes it really good for
trails and other activities where you’re moving
between sunlight to shade frequently.
A couple notes about recording video with
your iPhone
The iPhone has an amazing camera and is capable
of capturing amazing video, especially when used
with OutRide.
• It’s easy to forget that it’s also a phone and
designed to prioritize that functionality. If a call
comes in while recording a video, the iPhone
will automatically stop your recording to give you
the opportunity to answer the call. This is a great
feature for everyday use, but for capturing that
epic downhill... not so much. For this reason we
recommend putting your iPhone into Airplane
Mode before trying to record so that you can
capture everything without interruption. When
you’re done recording, exit Airplane Mode and
use the OutRide app to tag, upload and share
your action.

13
• Recording takes space, and depending on
your capture setting...a lot of space. Make
sure that you’ve got at least 4GB clear to avoid
missing something epic.
• The iPhone’s microphone is behind a thick
layer of polycarbonate when inside OutRide.
You’ll notice that a fair amount of audio does
get through, but it’s muted compared to
recordings taken outside the case. You’ll also
notice a reduction in wind noise at speed for
the same reason. We think it’s a good balance
and hope you agree.
Cleaning OutRide
OutRide keeps your iPhone safe from the elements,
but needs your help to do so consistently. Please
follow these tips to keep everything working well.
• OutRide’s waterproof and dustproof seal is the
key to protecting your iPhone. Any dirt, grit, hair or
other foreign item can keep the seal from working
properly. Check it carefully before each use.
• After each salt-water use, OutRide must be
rinsed in fresh water to prevent corrosion
to hinges and build up on the seal. For best
results, remove the case seal, rinse the case
and seal separately and allow both to dry
before reinstalling.

14
• To remove the seal, gently pinch the exposed
gasket from the edge of the front door
between your thumb and forenger and pull
sideways away from the door.
• To install the seal, it’s easiest to remove the
front door rst. Place the gasket along the
hinge side with the at side down. Gently
stretch each corner into place. Press and tuck
the gasket rmly into place along all 4 sides
and chase it with your ngernail if needed to
ensure there are no gaps. It helps to chase
each corner towards the center of each long
side. Finish by closing the case and checking
the t.
• Don’t use any industrial cleaners to clean
OutRide. Fresh water should be enough for
almost any scenario.
CYCLE MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting to Handlebar
Great for giving your viewers an idea of what
you’re seeing.
1. Mount your OutRide to the top of the DogBone
using the adjustment post knob that came with
OutRide. Use the hex wrench provided with
OutRide to tighten if needed.

15
2. Loosen the adjustment knobs at the bottom
of the handlebar clamp until you can swing
one side free through the open slot in the
lower clamp.
3. Position the clamp on your handlebar where
there is sucient room for the clamp and your
ngers for tightening the knobs.
4. Tighten the knobs until snug, then adjust the
angle of the mounted DogBone extension using
the adjustment knob at that joint.
5. When everything is where you want it, go back
and tighten all the knobs some more.
6. Make sure to connect the leash to OutRide
and use the hook around the bar and back to
the leash when riding.
Tips!
• Try pointing the handlebar clamp forward
on the left side of your bike stem with the 1”
DogBone aiming down. This hangs OutRide
upside down with the lens close to the
centerline of your bike and keeps OutRide out
of your immediate vision.
• Try dierent positions to see what works
best for avoiding excessive vibration during
your riding and any suspension you may
be running.

16
• For best results, try to keep OutRide clear of
any cables that may rattle against it or appear
in your shot.
Mounting to Seatpost
Face it backwards to see what you’re leaving
behind, or maybe who’s right on your tail.
1. Remove the 1” DogBone extension by
loosening and removing the adjustment knob
and hex bolt at its base. Store these back in
the case when not in use for safe keeping.
2. Mount your OutRide to the top of the Bar Mount
using the adjustment post knob that came with
OutRide. Use the hex wrench provided with
OutRide to tighten if needed.
3. Loosen the adjustment knobs at the bottom
of the handlebar clamp until you can swing
one side free through the open slot in the
lower clamp.
4. Position the clamp on your seatpost where
there is sucient room for the clamp and your
ngers for tightening the knobs.
5. Tighten the knobs until snug, then adjust the
angle of OutRide.
6. Make sure to connect the leash to OutRide
and use the hook around the post and back to
the leash when riding.

17
Tip! Hang OutRide upside down close to the
underside of your seat. This should keep OutRide
out of the way of your legs. Make sure OutRide is
clear of any rear suspension travel (just don’t get
too far behind the saddle on those downhills).
SURF MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting to a board, kayak or anything similar
1. Peel the red backing label from the Flat Mount
adhesive and carefully position it in the center
cavity of the Surf Mount Disc. Press and hold,
then set something heavy on top for as long as
you can manage.
2. Make sure OutRide has the Thumb-latch Quick
Release connected. Slide the Quick Release
onto the Surf Mount Disc from the side that
has a at channel. This provides a little more
working room for the thumb latches, although
you can ip it 180 when wanted.
3. Move OutRide and the connected Surf Mount
around to a few positions to gure out where
you want to attach it. (Position twice, stick once
is our motto)
4. Clean the selected surface using an alcohol
wipe or similar to get it as clean as possible.

18
5. Peel the red backing label from the Surf Mount
Disc. Press and hold, and again set something
heavy on top. (24 hours if you can manage)
6. Double check your mounts and tighten the
case adjustment knob using the hex wrench
provided with OutRide if needed.
7. Make sure to connect the leash to OutRide
and use the hook to connect it to the Surf
Mount when riding.
*Note: After each salt-water use, OutRide must be
rinsed in fresh water to prevent corrosion to hinges
and build up on the seal. For best results, remove
the case seal, rinse the case and seal separately
and allow both to dry before reinstalling.
FLAT & CURVED MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
Mount where you want...
1. Stating the obvious here. Flat Mounts are good
for sticking to at surfaces. Curved Mounts are
better for curved surfaces (like helmets).
2. Make sure OutRide has the Thumb-latch Quick
Release connected.
3. Slide the Quick Release onto the Mount of
your choice and keep in mind you can flip it
180 on the Mount when you want to.

19
4. Move OutRide and the connected Mount
around to a few positions to gure out where
you want to attach it. (Position twice, stick once
is our motto)
5. Clean the selected surface using an alcohol
wipe or similar to get it as clean as possible.
6. Peel the red backing label from the Mount.
Press and hold, and again set something
heavy on top. (24 hours if you can manage)
7. Double check your mounts and tighten the
case adjustment knob using the hex wrench
provided with OutRide if needed.
8. Make sure to connect the leash to OutRide
and use the hook to connect it to a non-mount
location as a precaution.
Tip! Try to nd mount areas as free of vibration
as possible to help get the best video. Dierent
surfaces and dierent material can yield
dramatically dierent results.
TRIPOD MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
Tripods, monopods or any 1/4-20 screw mount
1. Make sure OutRide has the Thumb-latch Quick
Release connected.
2. Thread the bottom of the Tripod Mount onto
the tripod you are using as far as you can.

20
3. Use the tripod’s adjuster function to take up any
remaining slack and form a tight connection
with OutRide Mount.
4. Slide OutRide’s Quick Release onto the Tripod
Mount and you’re done.
