Cam Caddie Scorpion EX Shoulder Rig for DSLR & GoPro

The Cam Caddie Scorpion EX Shoulder Support is a hands-free stabilizing rig that lets filmmakers mount DSLR, mirrorless, camcorders, iPhone or GoPro gear on a padded shoulder platform for steadier, longer shoots.

Whether you shoot weddings, sports, walkthroughs, or corporate videos, this shoulder rig converts handheld setups into shoulder-mounted systems that reduce shake and operator fatigue. Built with adjustable plates and an included heavy-duty strap, the Scorpion EX platform adapts to many camera bodies and shooting styles while allowing accessory add-ons for a more complete rig.

How does the Scorpion EX reduce shake during long shoots?

The padded shoulder platform transfers the camera’s weight to your torso so your arms don’t bear the full load, which naturally steadies handheld movement. The camera elevator and extension plate let you fine-tune balance for minimal torque and smoother pans.

• Shoulder-mounted platform spreads weight across the body
• Adjustable elevator for vertical positioning and balance
• Extension plate sets front-back distance for optimal center of gravity

Which cameras and devices are compatible with this support?

The rig is designed as a universal shoulder solution for popular camera systems and action cameras. It supports DSLRs and mirrorless bodies from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Panasonic, plus point-and-shoots, camcorders, iPhones and GoPro-style mounts for multi-device flexibility.

• Works with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic/Lumix cameras
• Mounts for GoPro and smartphone adaptors included
• Compatible with third-party cheese plate accessories and Scorpion EX add-ons

What adjustment and safety features come with the rig?

The Scorpion EX includes a camera elevator and extension plate so you can set height and fore-aft position precisely. A heavy-duty strap with a quick-release snap secures your setup for hands-free carrying and fast detach when needed.

• Camera elevator for side-to-side and height adjustments
• Extension plate for customizable camera reach and comfort
• Secure, quick-release heavy duty strap for safe transport and fast removal

Can I expand this rig into a full professional setup?

Yes — the platform accepts accessory attachments and is compatible with the Scorpion EX cheese plate (sold separately) to add handles, follow-focus, matte boxes, or external monitors. This makes it a modular base for more complex rigs without replacing the core shoulder unit.

• Accessory-ready platform for lights, mics, monitors
• Scorpion EX cheese plate compatibility for advanced builds
• Simple plate swaps allow quick configuration changes on set

Who this is for: Filmmakers, event videographers, indie producers, and content creators who need a reliable shoulder-mounted solution to reduce operator fatigue and improve shot stability while retaining the flexibility to use DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, action cams, or phones. If you regularly shoot extended handheld footage and want a modular, adjustable base to build a more professional rig, the Cam Caddie Scorpion EX Shoulder Support is a practical, adaptable option.
