And now for something completely different… Taiwanese support gear manufacturer Fishbone is reaching new heights this week with the launch of it’s Tree-pod. The device, otherwise know as the Zhezhi tripod, can reach 3.3m high, weighs about 13 kg and folds to about 90 cm long. It is aluminium alloy in construction and costs a cool $6000 US. In order to position and level the tripod head you can scale the Tree-pod in a similar way to a telegraph pole. Not sure I would trust it myself, but if heights are your thing then maybe it’s worth it.
Fishbone are also sent us a picture of their new compact jib that extends far more than their previous travel jib (which we reported on here). It is priced at $2000 US. Looks like a very interesting design.
You can find out more about Fishbone on their website.
