The Geode Grip is Juniper Systems’ mounting accessory designed to solve a familiar challenge: keeping your smartphone or Juniper device secure, accessible, and easy to use while you collect location data with your Geode. Below is an overview of what the Geode Grip does, which devices it works with, and the field scenarios where it makes a difference.
What is the Geode Grip?
The Geode Grip is a lightweight tray that holds your data collection device and Geode receiver together in a single, one-handed carry configuration. It gives users a stable, ergonomic way to carry and operate their phone or other device while viewing maps, entering data, or checking GNSS status, all without the challenges of carrying a pole. The Geode Grip streamlines data collection and enhances productivity by keeping everything secured in one place, which is great for running GIS apps and reducing the chance of dropping your devices, thanks to the adjustable hand strap.
Geode Grip Compatibility
The Geode Grip works with most modern smartphones, from the iPhone® 12 mini to the Samsung™ S24+ and is compatible with most phone cases. The Geode Grip also supports Juniper Systems’ devices, such as the Mesa 4 Rugged Tablet, the Archer 4 Rugged Handheld and other Juniper 7-inch rugged devices. This makes it easier for you to pair your handheld with the Geode in a simple carry solution when you find yourself navigating challenging terrain where a free hand is crucial.

Where the Geode Grip Makes a Difference
Forestry
Forestry professionals are often stepping over downed timber, moving through dense brush, or navigating uneven terrain. The Geode Grip enables them to keep one hand free for balance or clearing obstacles while their device stays secure and ready for checking stand boundaries, marking observations, or reviewing management notes. It keeps everything secure in one place so they can focus on navigating terrain and completing the job instead of on their equipment.
Field Biology & Environmental Work
Biologists and environmental technicians frequently move through wetlands, rocky ground, or undergrowth while collecting data. With the Geode Grip, devices stay anchored in place, allowing them to quickly take notes, document species, or record conditions with one hand while using the other to handle samples, steady themselves, or navigate terrain.
Utility Mapping & Asset Verification
Utility crews often work around easements, backyards, uneven ground, and tight spaces. The Geode Grip helps them move through these areas confidently by keeping the phone or tablet secure and in view while their free hand opens gates, lifts utility covers, or maintains balance. It also simplifies asset checks by enabling utility crews to always keep mapping apps open and ready.
Field Service & Maintenance
Technicians inspecting sites such as pump stations, solar installations, telecom equipment, or irrigation systems often need to climb, crouch, or carry tools as they move. The Geode Grip keeps the device in a comfortable, one-handed configuration so they can follow digital work orders, reference maps, or document issues without needing to stop to put tools down or free up a hand.
Small Accessory, Big Payoff
The Geode Grip may be compact, but it offers a significant boost to comfort, efficiency, and workflow stability. By providing an ergonomic and secure way to use your phone or compatible Juniper Systems device, the Geode Grip reduces fatigue, enhances productivity, gives you a free hand for obstacles, and enables you to focus on the job instead of your gear – making the Geode Grip a dependable, field-ready solution for your everyday equipment.
