The Scorpion is an extremely versatile Handheld Camera Stabilizer & Accessory Support Rig. This universal design will work with virtually any camera, whether it’s a: DSLR, Video Camera, or Point & Shoot. You can even use it with a Smartphone, iPhone, or GoPro.
Digital cameras have become so small they are now difficult to hold and maneuver. The Scorpion solves this major problem by providing an ergonomically designed platform that allows you to comfortably hold and maneuver the camera.
The Scorpion can be configured into countless different configurations. The versatile platform is extremely flexible allowing you to customize your rig based on what you need to get your shot. From Flyer Mode to Cage Mode and every different configuration in-between
The Patented design displaces the weight of your gear by separating your hand from directly holding the camera body. When holding the Scorpion and not the camera, motion and movement is naturally dampened. The Scorpion can facilitate moves that look like a professional camera stabilizer or Jib arm.
With our wide variety of accessories, you can attach: Flashes, LED Lights, Microphones, Monitors, Lavaliere Receivers, XLR Input Boxes, and more.
The Scorpion Utilizes a Specially Formulated Polymer Grip that virtually sticks to your hand. This tacky feel allows the camera operator to confidently float the Scorpion Rig on their fingertips reducing camera shake and vibration.
The Scorpion has a large padded Mounting Plate to ensure you have plenty of room to mount your camera no matter what lens setup you have. The Soft Polymer Pad prevents your camera from moving once you have it locked into position.
You will have 5 3/4 inches of clearance from the Mounting Plate to the Bottom of the Scorpion Handle. The Scorpion is designed to fit most DSLR and Video Cameras. Larger DSLR Cameras like the Canon 7D / 5D or Nikon D810 will also fit along with the Blackmagic 4K.
The Scorpion has 3 different Shoulder Strap Positions. Pick the one that is the most comfortable for your shoot.
The Scorpion allows the operator to mount accessories in different locations for ease of use, and balanced weight distribution.
Mount Field monitors and accessories so they are easy to view and properly balanced.

The Stabilizing Weight is a 1 lb. weight that can be used to help counter balance the weight of your camera gear so that you can perfectly balance the Scorpion/EX to your needs.

New ZealandAwesome works perfect
United StatesI use the cam caddie for my dslr to film skateboarding. I had the opteka x grip before and I didnt like how it wasnt very stable, and how the footage was always shaky, it had cheap plastic and foam that gets gross when your hands sweat. The Cam Caddie is the opposite, its super durable, very stable (even more stable with the lock out kit), and a great design with other features such as the accessory shoes you can get to attach lights, mics, etc. For around the same price as the x grip, this is definitely your best choice. The customer service is great as well. I couldnt undo the screw on 2 of my accessory shoes and ended up stripping the allen screws. I contacted them immediately and let them know, they responded back to my email within the hour and had already shipped out 2 more to me, and I didnt even have to pay! (I later found out I stripped them because I was tightening it, not loosening it haha). The new accessory shoes got to my house 2 days after I had emailed them. Ive never had customer service as great as that. 5 stars for this one. I totally reccommend a cam caddie for anyone with anytype of camera that wants to film action sports, or if you just want a good stabilizer, choose cam caddie. I guarantee you will be happy with this purchase.
