We design small things that make everyday life simpler.
I studied mechanical engineering and started my career in aerospace. What I kept wanting, though, was something small: a way to stand my phone up anywhere without carrying one more thing.
My everyday carry was wallet, phone, keys, and a tripod wasn't going to join it. So I gave myself a brief: the footprint of a bank card and the thickness of two, with every part folded inside, so it could live in my wallet.
I founded GEOMETRICAL in 2012 to build it, and we put the first version on Kickstarter a year later. More than 300,000 have shipped since. Five generations on, it's still the same card. What's changed is everything inside it.

Five generations. Same wallet profile.
Fifteen adapter sizes across two fits, so it matches phones from the thinnest foldable to a thick protective case. Same card, same 11 grams.
Everything folds inside 2.3 mm.
Mirrored halves lock together as a single card, then twist and flip into a tripod in under three seconds.
Small tools that belong with it.
Everything we make starts from the same brief: useful, pocketable, and built to last.
We don't design from a distance.
Rambod has made many trips to our production partner in Dongguan, China, to see the parts up close: checking tolerances, testing units off the line, and working through the details with the people who make them. Every unit is individually tested before it ships.

We love working with retailers and brands.
From camera stores to corporate gifts, a few of the places the Pocket Tripod has turned up.
Small on purpose.
We're a handful of people, and we like it that way. Staying small keeps the same few of us close to every design decision, every production run and every email.
