Designed by Turkish designer Imregün Erturk, the Wagabond camera is for the lone traveler who doesn’t want to be a bother to others. It features an [integrated remote controlled system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gency-pb) that can take your picture from different angles—because it [floats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-aqua-drone)! Yep, you just set up the lens, timer, height and distance, and the Wagabond camera will hover in the air and take your photo from the best angle. For the solitary traveler, I’m sure this device will come in handy (if not for photo-taking, than as a [travel companion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honor-robot-phone)). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Remote Controlled Cameras:** The Wagabond camera showcases the trend of remote controlled cameras that allow users to take pictures from different angles. - **Autonomous Photography:** The Wagabond camera represents the trend of autonomous photography where cameras can take photos without the assistance of a human. - **Portable and Convenient Cameras:** The Wagabond camera demonstrates the trend of portable and convenient cameras that cater to the needs of solo travelers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography Equipment:** The photography equipment industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by developing more advanced remote controlled camera systems. - **Travel Accessories:** The travel accessories industry can tap into the disruptive innovation opportunity of creating more compact and user-friendly cameras for solo travelers. - **Tech Gadgets:** The tech gadgets industry can capitalize on the trend of autonomous photography by developing innovative camera devices with built-in autonomous features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Stabilizing Photography Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-x1-selfflying-camera.md) - [Solo Traveler Photography Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oppo-levi-drone-concept.md) - [Easily Maneuvered Outdoor Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-camera.md) - [Hovering Selfie Drone Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-x1.md) - [Convertible Camera Carrying Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wandrd.md) - [Travel-Ready Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lomography-instant-automat-camera.md) - [Multi-Lens Capture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker-multi-cam.md) - [Multi-Mode Camera Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimode-camera-drones.md) - [Lens-Integrated Travel Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-camera.md)
