Built for [uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sekra) dedicated photographers who need to get their hands on those impossible shots, this tripod gives them a view that can only be rivalled by rooftops and helicopters. Essentially, photographers climb it just like a tree, hence the name. The difference is that this 'tree' has a mount that allows the images to be super stabilized for optimum shots. Designed for professionals, the Tree-Pod by Fishbone is also known as the Zhezhi tripod. Reaching 3.3 meters high, it weighs about 13 kilograms and folds to about 90 centimeters long. Made out of aluminium alloy, the Tree-Pod by Fishbone is sturdy enough to be scaled worry free, so that all the attention can be directed to photographing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Giant Climbable Tripods:** The trend of giant climbable tripods presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the photography industry, enabling photographers to capture unique and dynamic shots from elevated perspectives. - **Adventurous Urban Photography:** The trend of adventurous urban photography opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in gear and equipment, catering to photographers who seek unconventional angles and thrilling experiences in their photography. - **Stabilization Technology:** The trend of advancements in stabilization technology offers disruptive innovation opportunities for the photography industry, allowing photographers to capture perfectly stabilized images from tall structures like tripods or rooftops. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The photography industry can leverage giant climbable tripods to enhance photographers' capabilities and explore new creative possibilities. - **Outdoor Gear:** The outdoor gear industry can tap into the trend of adventurous urban photography by developing specialized equipment and accessories that cater to photographers seeking unique perspectives in urban environments. - **Camera Accessories:** The camera accessories industry has an opportunity to innovate stabilization technology and create new products that provide photographers with enhanced stability for optimum shots. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sturdy Clamp-Style Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silence-corner-mambapod.md) - [Traveler Photography Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tripod-base.md) - [Durable Travel Photography Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heipi-travel-tripod.md) - [Compact Tripod Mounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platypod-extreme.md) - [Shapeshifting Photography Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octopus-tripod.md) - [Modular Quad-Function Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-tripod.md) - [Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavyduty-carbon-fiber-tripod.md) - [Portable Tripod Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ifootage.md) - [Tripod-Paired Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intension-design-tripod-standing-desk-pro.md)
