Turn your iPhone into a waterproof wide-angle POV camera

As enthusiasm for compact personal POV cameras like GoPro and Contour continues to grow, iPhone accessory innovator Mophie recently released their solution to the dedicated camera system, Outride. The mountable case and app turns your iPhone into a protected video camera, allowing you to use your most readily available and familiar device for capturing the excitement.

Using multiple mounts the rugged, waterproof case can be affixed on a wide range of surfaces—surfboard, skateboard, bike—with minimal risk of damage to your device. The lightweight polycarbonate housing also features an integrated wide-angle lens with 170 degrees of capture, while the free Outride app lets you view footage, make edits and share videos through various social channels—meaning more than just your nearest friend can see the aftermath of the inevitable “watch this” moment.

Set to drop mid-September, Outride will be available directly from Mophie online for between $130 and $150.
