Outplorer: the modular motorcycle mounting system

Not a mount, but a system: mounts, arms, heads, and cases that combine with one another through standard interfaces. With air suspension that isolates the phone from engine vibrations.

In short. Outplorer does not sell finished mounts; it sells components that combine. Choose a mount (handlebar, mirror, clutch lever, brake master cylinder, or steering stem), an arm, and a device holder head. Each part connects to the others through standard ball interfaces.

The technical feature that sets it apart is its air suspension: a miniature pneumatic damper that isolates the smartphone from engine vibrations, protecting the camera's optical image stabilizer.

Where to start: if you want the simplest solution, get an already assembled P100 kit (from €94.00 to €107.00). If you want to build a custom setup, start with the PH10 head at €70.00 and add the mount your motorcycle requires.

How the system works

This is where it differs from a traditional mount: when you buy a standard mount, you choose once and are locked in. When you buy Outplorer, you choose three parts, and each can be replaced without affecting the others.

Level 1

The mount

This is where the system connects to the motorcycle: handlebar, clamp, mirror, mirror stem, clutch lever, brake master cylinder, or steering stem cap. It changes if you change motorcycles, or if you decide to move the device elsewhere.

Level 2

The arm

It connects the mount and the head, and determines the distance and angle. Double-jointed or multi-position articulated. One recommendation is worth noting: always use the shortest one that lets you see the screen, because every extra centimeter of overhang amplifies vibrations.

Level 3

The head

It holds the device. This could be the air-suspended PH10 for smartphones, a GoPro adapter for action cameras, or the Quick Launch interface, which connects directly to PRO cases.

The glue is the ball adapters: BM6, BM8, and BM10 for metric screws, and BA25 with a one-inch ball for the most widely used standard. They cost from €22.00 to €27.00 and let you connect the system to mounting points already on your motorcycle.

The ready-to-use P100 kits: the short route

If modularity isn't important to you and you just want a mount that works, the P100 kits come preassembled: a PH10 head with air suspension plus a mount. Only the type of mount changes.

Outplorer P100-A handlebar smartphone mount with air suspension

The most versatile

P100-A · Handlebar

107,00 €

Direct handlebar mount, the classic solution. It's the most complete of the three and works on more motorcycles, provided there's free space on the bar.

When to choose it: if there's still room on the handlebar between the controls and handguards.

Outplorer P100-C universal collar handlebar-mounting kit

Universal collar

P100-C · Collar

104,00 €

A universal collar that adapts to multiple diameters: more flexible than the P100-A at the mounting point, useful when the tube has a non-standard section or when you want to mount it on a crossbar.

When to choose it: if you're unsure of the diameter or expect to move it.

Outplorer P100-B smartphone mirror-mounting kit

When the handlebar is full

P100-B · Mirror mount

94,00 €

The least expensive of the three, and often the only possible option: on many modern adventure bikes, the handlebar is already crowded with risers, controls, and wiring, leaving the mirror mount as the only free spot.

Limitation: it moves the device to the side of the steering axis. Keep it as close to the stem as possible.

Outplorer PH10 smartphone holder head with anti-vibration air suspension

The heart of the system

PH10 · Head only

70,00 €

The pneumatic-suspension head sold separately, without a mount. It's the starting point if you want to configure everything yourself or already have a compatible mount on your motorcycle.

When to choose it: if you already have a dedicated mount and only need the part that holds the phone.

Outplorer H1000 Glory Knight Pro handlebar-mounted kit

The top of the range

H1000 · Glory Knight Pro

156,00 €

The most complete handlebar-mounted kit in the range. It's the reference choice if you're looking for the most refined setup without having to build it piece by piece.

Limitation: it costs as much as two P100-B kits. It makes sense if the device you're mounting is high-end and you're riding long distances.

Outplorer G100 action camera and panoramic camera mounting kit

For recording

G100 · Action camera

70,00 €

Kit designed for action cameras and 360-degree panoramic cameras. It uses the same mounts as the system: you can install it at a second point without duplicating the bracket.

When to choose it: if you record travel videos and want a stable shooting point independent of the phone.

See the G100 →

The Quick Launch range: seven mounts, one attachment system

It is the line that solves the most practical problem: removing your phone quickly when you leave the motorcycle, with your gloves on, without dismantling anything.

The logic is simple: the mount stays on the motorcycle, and the device detaches with a single motion. What changes among the seven models is where they are mounted, and they are designed to cover every possible front-end setup, even the most crowded.

Quick Launch Outplorer mounts available from Endurrad
Code Mounting point When to use it Price
QM01 Handlebar The standard solution, if there is free space on the bar 65,00 €
QM02 PRO handlebar mount Version with integrated anti-vibration damping 79,00 €
QM03 Handlebar clamp When you need to clamp onto a non-standard section 79,00 €
QM04 Mirror Crowded handlebar: use the mirror mount 79,00 €
QM05 Mirror stem Version that mounts on the stem rather than the base 79,00 €
QM06 Clutch lever Low position on the left, outside the field of view 79,00 €
QM07 Brake master cylinder Low position on the right, for motorcycles with no space elsewhere 82,00 €
QB01 Front mount Central mounting in front of the dashboard 47,00 €
QB02 Steering stem cap The most rigid and centered position of all 52,00 €

Scroll the table horizontally to see all the columns.

The recommendation worth the money. At €52.00, the QB02 on the steering stem cap is often the best and most overlooked choice: it is the motorcycle's most rigid point, perfectly centered on the steering axis, and takes up no space elsewhere. On motorcycles with crowded handlebars, it solves a problem that cannot be solved on the handlebar.

PRO cases: cleaner, but binding

They are the element that completes the system, and the one worth considering before buying.

A PRO case integrates the mounting interface directly into the case: the phone clips in and out without jaws clamping it. Fewer pressure points on the phone body, faster mounting, and a slimmer profile.

They cost €39.00 each and cover:

  • iPhone: 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, 16E, 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air
  • Samsung Galaxy: S23, S23 Plus, S23 Ultra, S24, S24 Plus, S24 Ultra, S25, S25 Plus, S25 Ultra

The compromise you have to accept: the case is tied to that phone model. When you change smartphones, you also change the case. If you change devices often or if your family has different phones, an adjustable-jaw mount remains more flexible.

Those who do not want to change their case have a middle-ground option: the €25.00 QU01 universal interface, which attaches to an existing case and gives it the same mounting connection.

How to configure yours, in three questions

  • Where is there room on your motorcycle? Look at the front of the motorcycle while it is stationary, with your hands on the controls. If the handlebar has at least five centimetres of free space, start with QM01 or QM02. If it is crowded, look at the mirror (QM04), clutch lever (QM06), or steering stem cap (QB02).
  • What are you mounting on it? Smartphone without a dedicated case: PH10. Smartphone with a PRO case: Quick Launch mount plus case. Action camera: G100 or GoPro adapter. Two devices at once: two separate mounts, not a split arm.
  • How often do you remove it? If you leave your motorcycle on the street every day, the Quick Launch series pays for itself in convenience. If your phone is only mounted during trips, a P100 kit is enough and costs less.

One more thing if you park in the city: the €20.00 AT10 anti-theft screw kit replaces the standard hardware with heads that cannot be removed using common tools. It protects the mount, which stays on the motorcycle when your phone goes with you.

Outplorer or traditional mount?

Neither is objectively better. It depends on how much you expect your setup to change over time.

Comparison between a modular system and a traditional mount
Aspect Modular Outplorer Traditional mount
Initial cost From €94.00 with a P100 kit From €54.00 with a LOBOO PH02S
Changing motorcycles Replace only the mount A new mount is often required
Adding an action camera A €22.00 adapter A second complete mount
Changing smartphones New case from €39.00, or PH10 that fits them all No additional cost with a clamp mount
Damping Pneumatic suspension Mechanical or magnetic
Purchase simplicity Configure it, or choose a kit One code, one choice

Choose Outplorer if you have more than one motorcycle, plan to add devices over time, or your motorcycle's handlebar is so crowded that it requires a non-standard mount.

Choose a traditional mount if you need a single solution that works right away and do not intend to change your setup. In that case, the complete comparison of GPS and smartphone mounts gives you all the alternatives, including model-specific brackets.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is the Outplorer system?

It is a modular motorcycle mounting system consisting of three levels: a mount that attaches to the motorcycle, an arm that determines the distance and angle, and a head that holds the device. The parts connect via standard ball interfaces, so each component can be replaced without affecting the others. There are also preassembled kits, the P100 series, for those who do not want to configure anything.

What is the air suspension?

It is the damping system used on the PH10 head and P100 kits: a miniature pneumatic shock absorber that isolates the device from engine vibrations. It is especially useful with smartphones, because the high-frequency vibrations of a motorcycle engine can permanently damage the camera's optical image stabilizer. It is an alternative to mechanical spring damping and magnetic damping.

Which part should I start with?

Start with the mount, because it depends on your motorcycle and is the most restrictive constraint. Look at the front of the bike while it is stationary: if there is free space around the handlebar, start with QM01 or QM02; otherwise, consider the mirror, clutch lever, or steering stem cap. Then choose the head based on your device, and finally the shortest arm that lets you see the screen.

Do I necessarily need the PRO case?

No. The €39.00 PRO case integrates the mount into the case and is the quickest, cleanest solution, but it limits the system to that phone model. Alternatively, you can use the PH10 head, which holds any smartphone with adjustable jaws, or the €25.00 QU01 universal interface, which adds the same mount to a case you already own.

Which phones are covered by the cases?

All iPhones from the 14 through the 17 Pro Max, including the 16E and iPhone Air, and Samsung Galaxy models from the S23 through the S25 in Base, Plus, and Ultra versions. Each case costs €39.00. For unsupported models, the PH10 head with adjustable jaws or the QU01 universal interface is still available.

How much does a complete Outplorer setup cost?

The most economical option is a ready-to-use P100-B kit for €94.00. A custom configuration starts at around €117.00 by adding the €70.00 PH10 head and a €47.00 Quick Launch mount. The top-of-the-range model is the €156.00 H1000 Glory Knight Pro. Adding a PRO case and anti-theft screws brings the total to around €200.00 for a complete setup.

Can I also mount an action camera?

Yes, and that is one of the system’s advantages: the €70.00 G100 kit is designed for action cameras and panoramic cameras, while the GoPro GM10 and GB10 adapters cost between €22.00 and €24.00. Using the same ecosystem, you can mount it on a second mount without duplicating the entire bracket.

Can the mount be stolen?

The device should always be taken with you, and the Quick Launch series is designed specifically to release it with a single gesture. The mount remains on the motorcycle; to protect it, the AT10 anti-theft screw kit is available for €20.00, replacing the standard hardware with heads that cannot be removed using common tools.
