About Cam Caddie

Out of the desire to produce higher quality images on a budget, skateboard and snowboard videographer Daniel McElderry created Cam Caddie—a company devoted to providing cinema-quality accessories at affordable prices. Since 2004, Cam Caddie has been designing and manufacturing camera accessories. Anyone can use them—from professional filmmakers all the way to home movie amateurs. They can use them on all types of cameras, whether they’re DSLRs, Mini DVs, GoPro Heroes, or even iPhones. The company’s flagship product is the award-winning Cam Caddie Scorpion camera stabilizer. You can mount it on all types of cameras. It was then followed by the Fovea Lens System© and the Flashner© Mounting System, which eventually led them to create the world’s first Handheld Support Rig for DSLR cameras like the Canon 5D MKII and the Canon 7D. All Cam Caddie products are meticulously designed, engineered, and assembled in Glendale, California. Knowing this, you can ensure a high quality accessory fit for any type of budget and filming style—no matter where you are in the world.

Using Cam Caddie camera accessories

There is no one single way to produce the best film. You will have to move around, shoot in different environments, place the cameras on odd angles, and many more. But with the help of Cam Caddie products, you will never have to worry about the safety of your gadget while producing high quality outputs. If you need to stabilize your shots, you can count on Cam Caddie’s Scorpion camera stabilizer. It is an award-winning product that you can hold or strap to your torso. You can run around the set and still maintain stable shots. The Scorpion is also portable and comfortable to hold. On top of that, you can even attach other accessories such as a mic or added lighting. The scorpions come in vibrant colors and sizes as well, depending on your camera type and preference. Meanwhile, if you need a better mounting system, Cam Caddie also has a special range of Flashner Kits™. You can use them on any type of camera and equipment. By using the Flashner Kit, you can confidently attach multiple camera accessories without using bulky cages or supporting rods. This kit comes in several lengths as well (4 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, 12 inch, and 16 inch), which you can customize to fit your specific filming needs. If you need to get the best possible audio for your film, Cam Caddie also offers high quality mics, which you can attach on any camera. All Rode mics are compact and lightweight. They are equipped with a broadcast-quality condenser capsule with supercardioid pickup pattern. These will help you get the best possible audio quality while you are filming. Moreover, these mics also has an integrated shockmount and windscreen to maintain crystal clear audio—even if you’re filming in the outdoors, your camera’s power can last up to 70 hours on a single 9V battery! These are just some of the top products of Cam Caddie. Each item will help you produce the highest quality output without you breaking the bank.

How to improve your filming style

How to improve your filming style with Cam Caddie’s Scorpions

Unless it really is part of your creative decision, a shaky and restless footage can be a great headache to edit and to watch — especially when 85% of videos today are being watched without audio due to mobile browsing. The quality and steadiness of your footage can make or break any film you produce. However, it can specifically become a great problem when you film in the outdoors frequently. Fortunately, camera stabilizers are now easily accessible. And Cam Caddie’s Scorpion just happens to be the original universal stabilizing camera handle and support rig. The Scorpion is portable and ideal for any type of filming situation. It can fit any type of camera. With Scorpion on your side, you can easily change the way you film rapid movement shots as well as outdoor scenes. On top of these, it also has many added benefits:

Drastically improve filming style - Cameras can be difficult to hold and keep steady when you have to run around or jump from different heights. However, with the Scorpion, all you have to do is hold the Handheld Jib Arm— the support rig will do the rest of the work.
Additional camera accessories - The Scorpion is designed so that you can easily attach other additional camera accessories such as lighting fixtures and mics should you need it during filming.
Added mobility - You cannot always hold the camera when filming on the go. That’s why the Scorpion was designed to allow you to strap it on to your torso or shoulder for better mobility.
