Camera Striders are strider variants of the Cameramen, alongside the Camera Rover and the Camera Toilet. Functioning as a basic supported gun platform, the strider is proficient at providing suppression and area denial capabilities, while also demonstrating effectiveness in anti-aircraft abilities in shooting down airborne Skibidi Toilets. However, the Camera Strider seems to have become obsolete after its last appearance in Episode 32. A Camera Strider head could be seen in Skibidi Toilets Episode 70, in the Storage Area 2.
Appearance[]
The Camera Strider appears to be a digital camera that takes pictures with a movie camera body, weaponized with two guns attached to its exterior, one located atop of the strider, and one attached to the bottom of the strider's body. Three long bendable legs extend out of the strider's main body, with two connected to the sides, and one attached to its rear.

Abilities[]
Being a strider-type unit associated with the Cameramen, the Camera Strider is presumed to possess the ability to climb buildings similar to its toilet counterpart, the Strider Skibidi Toilet. However, this climbing capability has never been demonstrated.
The Camera Strider is equipped with an automatic cannon mounted beneath its body, which fires blue explosive ammunition at a rapid rate. Despite its high fire rate, its accuracy is middling at best and tends to suffer from significant deviation, especially at long ranges. However, this might just be because in the scenario, it had several fast targets to shoot at. Most notably, in Episode 13, it is seen shooting at airborne Toilets, raising speculations about its effectiveness in destroying Skibidi Toilets. it was seen that its shots were capable of vaporizing Normal Flying Skibidi Toilets, but it is unknown if it can kill larger toilets. Nevertheless, due its frequent employment, it is presumed to be effective against lower classes of Skibidi Toilets.
The Camera Strider's cannon is recognized by its blue plasma ammunition and a wide shot spread, showing an extensive angle of traverse and elevation. However, its effectiveness appears limited against larger Skibidi Toilet variants, and it is vulnerable to retaliation from enemy lasers or missiles.
The Camera Strider also has what looks to be a railgun located on top of its main body. However it was never seen being used in any of the Camera Striders appearances.
In terms of defense, the Camera Strider is not significantly more durable than other Cameramen infantry and cannot withstand their projectile attacks. Nonetheless, it is presumed that the strider's legs can be used to subdue smaller versions of Skibidi Toilets by penetrating through its main body.
Trivia[]
- The legs also have the appearance of a Half-Life-2 Strider, similarly with the bottom cannon hence the name Camera Strider.
- The Camera Strider could be similar to the Strider Speaker.
- The Camera Striders have never been shown infected by a Parasitic Skibidi Toilet once in the series.
- This might be because all Camera Strider are non-living vehicles piloted by a Cameraman or they are immune to infection. Regardless, nothing is confirmed as of now.
- The Camera Strider was the first strider character in the series, meaning the Skibidi Toilets likely stole the legs of the first deceased Strider to make their own.
