"The Spider Holster dual belt changed my wedding workflow overnight in 2017. By shifting the weight to my hips, long days no longer strain my neck or shoulders. The low-profile holster along with the hand straps keep my cameras secure yet instantly accessible, so I can fix a veil or pose clients and still catch the moment. It is the most useful tool in my wedding kit!"

"The Spider Camera Holster has been a total game-changer for me as a wedding photographer. I used to end wedding days in sheer agony (and then take 2-3 days to recover from) due to carrying all my gear by way of neck and shoulder straps. But now I can genuinely and thoroughly enjoy wedding days again because I’m not fighting through pain—it’s completely handled it for me. My gear feels safe, secure, and is always on me for convenience—no more worrying about where I set my camera down. After several years of use without a single mishap, I can confidently say this is one of the better investments I’ve made. 10/10 recommend."

"As a documentary wedding photographer, I need gear that lets me blend into the background and focus on my couples. The Spider Holster has been that tool — reliable, intuitive, and built for the chaos of a wedding day. I switched from a harness about two years ago after a friend recommended it, and it’s been a game-changer. My back no longer aches, and having my hands free means I can talk (I talk with my hands!), carry bouquets or dresses, or even wrangle expensive sunglasses, haha. It also makes it so much easier to move through redwoods, vineyards, or crowded dance floors without feeling weighed down."

"I love using Spider Holster, as my camera sits on my waist while I direct my subject for a portrait. Unlike when using a strap, my camera does not swing back and forth. More importantly, at the end of the night, I don't feel as tired as when I was using straps (leather or otherwise), which is a huge game changer for me."

"I've been using the Spider Holster for a decade of photographing weddings. It has saved my back by moving the weight of my cameras to my hip instead. I prefer shooting with two bodies for less lens changing during the wedding day, and the Spider keeps that simple and effective. I also get the best comments from guests about being the female John Wayne, so that's fun."

"I use a Spider Holster! I switched over a few years ago and I'm never going back! The Spider Holster has been a game-changer for me during and after long wedding days. No more back and shoulder pain for me! I also love that my hands are free and my body is clear of swinging gear (and, I'll tell you, my balance is better for it)!"

"Before I found Spider Holster, I was stuck with shoulder harnesses that wrecked my back and constantly sent my cameras smashing into the ground whenever I took a knee (I’m 6’2” — gravity’s got jokes). Switching to Spider Holster was a game-changer. I can move freely, swap cameras faster, and keep my gear safe. Plus, wearing them makes you look and feel like a gunslinger. That’s a win-win in my book."

"I've been using Spider Holster for over a decade now, and I cannot recommend it enough! It saves my back and shoulders on long wedding days, and I never have to worry about getting tangled up in a camera strap. I've also added the spider hand strap for added protection against dropping/hand fatigue, and I love the add-on attachments like the memory card organizer, utility pouch, and lens pouch!"

"Spider Holster really changed my life and added more years to my photography career. My back and shoulders were killing me after using the shoulder straps for my two cameras, and I was losing hope that I would have to give up doing something that I love so much. But switching to the Spider Holster was life-changing. Best decision I ever made!"
