Always Be Ready for Pics and Videos With the Pocket Tripod

When you’re out and about and you want to take a selfie or video of yourself and friends, what are your options? We’ve all seen those “hold the phone at arm’s length” shots, or you could try to prop your phone on something and hope it doesn’t call and get damaged. Obviously your best option is a tripod, but who has one of those on their everyday carry list? Anybody who owns a Pocket Tripod, that’s who. The Pocket Tripod is an amazing phone accessory that starts out flat and wallet-sized, but is easily transformed into a sturdy phone tripod capable of shooting at any angle while securely holding your phone. They’re on sale for $30 right now, or you can get three of these ultra-light carbon-fiber tripods for $70, or five for $105.

The Pocket Tripod is a truly ingenious device. It folds flat so it can fit in your wallet, purse, or pocket, and weighs less than half an ounce. Inspired by origami, it is easily folded into a tripod shape. Use the included “fit card” to determine which soft-contact no-scratch hinges work with your phone — the Pocket Tripod comes with eight different hinge sizes, so it works with any phone — the hinges allow you to position your phone at any angle you need while holding it firmly in place. The design also keeps your phone’s mic free so your video’s sound is not muffled, and it’s TSA-approved so you can bring it with you on your next vacation flight.
