# Predatory DSLR Mounts Cam Caddie Scorpion Eliminates the Problem of Shaky Cameras By Matt Ho | Published 2012-01-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cam-caddie-scorpion References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/cam-caddie-scorpion-dslr-stabilizer/21190/) & [camcaddie](http://www.camcaddie.com/sk8/scorpion.php) The number one problem with amateur film is usually the shaky filming that makes viewing the clip unpleasant, and since professional equipment can be expensive, the Cam Caddie Scorpion provides a cheaper alternative. The design of the Cam Caddie Scorpion takes after the predatory arachnid by modeling the handle after its stinging tail. The camera gets mounted onto a platform which will help center the weight to stabilize it. Combined with the [polymer grip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-gpvpt3-multifunction-shooting-grip), the user will have a secure grasp while eliminating any shakiness that occurs during filming. What's most impressive is that the Cam Caddie Scorpion is designed to have other professional equipment attached to it. This includes [LED camera lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isteady-m7), wireless microphone receivers, monitors and more. It's an ideal piece for amateur filmmakers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cheaper Camera Stabilization Tech:** The Cam Caddie Scorpion provides a cheaper alternative to expensive professional equipment, opening up the possibility for cheaper camera stabilization tech. - **Customizable Camera Equipment:** The Cam Caddie Scorpion is designed to have other professional equipment attached to it, providing an opportunity for customizable camera equipment options. - **Innovative Grip Designs:** The Cam Caddie Scorpion models its handle after the predatory arachnid, providing an opportunity for innovative grip designs in camera equipment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film and Video Production:** The Cam Caddie Scorpion is ideal for amateur filmmakers, presenting opportunities for innovative film and video production equipment. - **Photography:** The Cam Caddie Scorpion can stabilize cameras for still photography, presenting opportunities for innovative camera stabilization tech for photographers. - **Broadcasting:** The Cam Caddie Scorpion can attach LED camera lights, wireless microphone receivers, and monitors, providing an opportunity for innovative broadcasting equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniature Light Camera Stabilizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rs-3.md) - [Convenient Camera Keychain Grips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-bug.md) - [Landscape Photographer Camera Mounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tripod-mount.md) - [Portable Stabilizing Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/djis-osmo-action-4.md) - [Innovative Camera Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-camera-carrier.md) - [Accessible Vlogger Camera Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-camera-system.md) - [Smartphone Gimbal Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snappy-mobile.md) - [Mirrorless Image-Stabilization Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imagestabilization-camera.md) - [Vertical Camera Sliders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-trexo-slider.md)
