The fuselage of the SCORP 2 is designed with an innovative Foldable Aileron Bracket, which significantly enhances its functionality and ease of use. This advanced bracket can be effortlessly set upright, eliminating the need for a traditional tripod. It can provide stability and reliability in various environments, ensuring optimal performance without additional support structures.

In front of the foldable aileron bracket, the SCORP 2 is equipped with an Arri Rosettes Mount accessory interface. This interface allows for the attachment of various additional accessories, including external screens, microphones, and fill lights. These enhancements provide users with greater flexibility and customization options to suit different filming and operational needs.

One Gimbal, Multiple Devices.
For photography enthusiasts, the array of available equipment often caters to distinct requirements, and finding a gimbal that adequately suits a range of devices can be challenging. For this reason, the SCORP Mini 2 is specially designed to accommodate four different types of devices: mirrorless cameras, mobile phones, compact cameras, and action cameras, while the SCORP 2 is designed to fit only DSLR mirrorless cameras.

The SCORP Mini 2 also features a NEW 1/4-inch expansion port, enhancing its versatility and functionality. This port allows users to connect a range of auxiliary devices, such as fill lights and screens. With these additional connections, you can customize the setup to better meet your specific needs and improve overall experience.

Both SCORP 2 and SCORP Mini 2 work with multiple camera models from leading brands such as Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, etc. 

For compatible cameras, SCORP 2 supports 102 camera models via cable control and 33 camera models via Bluetooth. In comparison, SCORP Mini 2 supports 77 camera models via cable control and 29 camera models via Bluetooth.

As you can see, the SCORP 2 gimbal can be compatible with more camera models and can carry larger and heavier lenses. If you have multiple camera models and need a gimbal specifically for camera shooting, the SCORP 2 is a better choice than the SCORP Mini 2.

From another perspective, the SCORP Mini 2 is compatible with a wider range of devices, such as GoPro Hero action cameras, as well as Android phones and iPhones. If you plan to use the gimbal in daily life or when traveling, or if you have a smaller camera and want the flexibility to shoot with different devices to suit different styles and needs, the SCORP Mini 2 is a more suitable for you.
