I love spidex-backpacker kit, but I use it in a different way than intedender, as a belt holster, since the size fits me better than the huge camera belt holster.
For backpack use, I tried few backpacks to install the kit on the straps and inability to tighten the grip on the strap even when rubber inserted leaves space for improvement. BUT! Its stile quite superior to Peakdesign capture which i had for few years. Same with wrist strap. I would definitely buy Spider holster again, this is my 5th piece I ordered - previously used metal version, belt clip, etc.
Also big shoutout to support team who helped me to get my order prior my photo gig. Thanks again!
I have been Using Holdfast, Black rapid system for ever. and over 10 hours. my back hurts, so now putting all the weight on my waist is a game changer.
Now i wish they have a good storage system and a lens Changer or pouch.
Love how it goes around the waist and relieves pressure off your back. I have had a problem with the locking mechanism holding the camera. It only locks it in part of the time. I was kneeling down taking a low picture and the camera came out of the holster and fell on the rocks. The screen of my camera got a scratch on it, but no harm to the lens. After that I made sure I locked the camera in the holster.
Best holster system out there!!! Get it.
The internal spring on my holster failed and needed replacement - not a complaint as parts can fail on anything. I’ve had my unit for 3-4 years and use it regularly. It was a pleasure to find Spider Holster sells only the parts needed rather than making the end user purchase an entire kit, which for mine was a spring. I purchased a reasonably priced four pack of springs which included the necessary hex wrench and it arrived promptly.
Well done on top class service! A+

I found the Spider holster many years ago. I found them at a PPANJ convention.
I am on my second single camera holster. I have several accessories including water bottle pouch, a memory card case, and accessory case, and several monkey hooks. The best camera carry systems out there. I tried slings, they just don't work for me. Cameras seem to flop around too much. The Spider Holster is secure and stays put.
Make the purchase, you will not regret it.
I tried many other hand straps, but this one is by far the best. It feels secure and comfortable. I just bought another one. I am using them for at least 8 years now. The secret really is in the curved strap. The fingers can move freely.
I'm glad they have the individual screw to replace a lost one or to have a spare. Not having to get the whole plate is great. It fit right in. Thanks Spider.

I loved having the flexibility to use my wide angle and long lens while shooting wedding last weekend. It’s professional looking and really functional. I will definitely continue to use it for all big events that I shoot. It’s really well-made and I got excellent customer service. They rushed my order Because of the wedding I had scheduled so close to delivery. It came just in time.
super nice products
Everything is made from materials of a good quality. The belt really helps next the photographer's work. But the part in the middle of the back is thin and I guess this one will be under the press of weight problematic to the future.
At first it's an adjustment. But now I cannot live without it! My shoulders and neck thank me! I am able to hold my camera wherever because I'm not attached to a harness. Absolutely life-changing.
When I got the kit I had trouble because the screw wouldn't screw into the camera mounting plate. I happen to have a small tap that I could re-tap the threads so it would screw in properly. I have been out using my camera with the Tether Bail only twice sine putting it on, It has work fine, the way I use it as a backup safety to make sure my camera is safe.
I've used Spider Holsters for the last 10 years - in that time I've moved from DSLRs through a range of mirrorless bodies. The cameras have changed but the holsters are staying... Their build quality is excellent and I couldn't be without them. Thank you Spider always great products and excellent support.
I really appreciate being able to fit these - Spider Holsters are key to the way I photograph… I couldn’t be without them and these have kept my holsters going strong. Easy to fit and good value. Awesome!!
I truly love all of spider gear… I have the holster and hand straps for all of my cameras. But I have to say I am impressed with the level of customer service I received when I needed something taken care of. Thank you spider! I’m a big fan and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
I swapped over to the spider holster system and I can’t believe what a difference is made.
The ability to carry a gimbal with a camera in my side holster ready to take images without faffing about with straps has made my workflow so much easier.
Highly recommend
Received my service kit, which is good, but much better if it came in a little proper bag to store them in my camera bag.
I have two large lenses. Having this plate is great with the camera holster but also for use with my tripod or monopod. Because of the rear lip, this will not come loose easily like a standard plate. Bonus, the wrench you need to tighten it with stays inside the plate for easy access and without getting lost in my bag. My only regret is not getting a Spider Camera Holster sooner.
I love my Spider holster. Holds my z8 perfectly.
I absolutely love the spider holster - I had something similar when I first started out with my photo biz about 10 years ago but switched to a harness. It absolutely killed my back / shoulders, and I was never able to be hands free. The spider holster gives me so much more freedom!
