I had a very old holster that I used with a different belt and found out that I ordered the wrong product. They were very helpful in getting me straightened out. An excellent company with excellent products.
This is the perfect balance between agile and robust. There's no better way to carry the maximum amount of gear with the least amount of strain on your body. I have been searching for the perfect carrying system for 12+ years, and this is the best system I've found for event photography, hands down. I just wish it hadn't taken me so long!!!
If I had bought this pouch a few years ago, it would have been perfect. Unfortunately, with the current size of mobile phones, a bigger pouch is needed. My Pixel 8 Pro (with protective back cover) is slightly too large for the pouch zipper to fully close, or to use the pouch for anything other than just the phone.
I also wish that the front pocket was designed with a closure of some sort. I find myself not using the pocket for anything other than a lens cloth as it's not a secure spot.
I love the idea and would definitely purchase a larger version if one becomes available.
Have yet to use it hiking but it fits and carries my camera well. Prefer it over my other camera clip; seems like the weight at the tripod mount is better distributed.
Simple, effective, reasonably priced. What more can you ask for? I love it!
This is the most comfortable way I've found to carry my camera during long treks. It takes all the stress of of my hand and arm.
I wore these (2 camera set up) to a summer festival and all the other photographers were envious of the rig. Many of them had multiple camera straps getting tangled and crossed on both shoulders. The belt system saved my neck and back a ton of pain.
I am really happy with my purchase!!
I have horrible shoulder and neck tension so I never used straps for my cameras. I’ve been dying to use a dual camera system for weddings, but I was kind of in a pickle was not being able to use a harness. This belt has literally changed the game for me. It is so comfortable And I trust it more than anything I’ve ever used.
Great product, really recommend

Excellent Tool for Professional Shooters!
I've been using the Spider Camera Holster system for several months now, and it has truly elevated the way I work during events and portrait sessions. As a professional photographer, comfort and efficiency are everything—and this holster delivers on both.
The weight distribution is incredible, allowing me to carry my Nikon Z9 and additional gear without straining my back or shoulders. The quick-draw access to my camera lets me capture those candid, once-in-a-lifetime moments without missing a beat. It's rugged, secure, and surprisingly comfortable even after long hours on my feet.
Whether I'm photographing weddings, Quinceañeras, or senior portraits, the Spider Holster helps me stay mobile, focused, and ready to shoot at all times. Highly recommend for any serious photographer looking to streamline their workflow and protect their gear on the job!

So far, I absolutely love my spider holster and I love the weight taken off of my shoulders on wedding days. I also got the attachment for my flash, and it’s so nice being able to have it accessible all day. I feel like I get tired way less quickly because of the reduced stress to my shoulders and upper back. However, my first time using the holster, the lens collar plate came loose from my 70-200 lens and I had to run to my second shooter to fix it just as the bridesmaids were coming down the aisle. The DSLR plate also came loose during a session, but I was able to fix it easily. I thought I had tightened them enough when I installed it, but now I double check my plates before every wedding or session. Thankfully, there are built in Allen wrenches so this issue can be fixed at any time. The holsters themselves are also slightly far back on my hips, so sometimes it’s an uncomfortable reach to get each camera, especially when I have extra gear/bags on. I wish the holsters sat more towards the front of my hips than the back. Overall, this is a huge step up from my dual camera harness!
great for my film camera but not as great for my godox V1. I have already gone through 2 of the spider monkey accessories because the glue has worn off due to the weight.

I love how this fits on my belt. My phone fits in the case as well as having extra SD cards. It is exactly what I needed.
I'm an elopement photographer and for years I was using a dual camera harness but after every shoot my back would hurt so much and it was really hard to do other simple tasks like help lay out the bride's train, because the cameras were always swinging around and hung down really low. I've used the dual camera holster a few times now and am already so in love with it. I just shot an 8 hour elopement yesterday and my back isn't sore at all. I love how it holds all the weight on my hips, especially when I'm doing a lot of hiking and climbing with my couples. I thought it would take a while to get used to, but it's so easy to use that I got the hang of it right away! I would recommend this to every photographer!
Even on shorter shoots that I typically would hold the camera for entirely, it's incredibly helpful to have somewhere to put my camera down in the moments between. 1000% recommend to anyone - especially over a harness where they'll swing around and bump into things.
Very happy with the product — highly recommend!

Stay on you very well. Safe and secured. Very comfortable and no pain on the back whatsoever. Couldn’t be happier
This winter i had a cortisone shot in my neck to relieve nerve pain at least partially caused by decades of slinging cameras on my neck and shoulders. Be smarter than me and make this investment before you need a cortisone shot!
It took me some time to get the belt set up, so give yourself an hour or so to really do that. The belt is sturdy and stays where I put it. I was able to attach my speedlight case to the belt to carry a flash. I'm working with Nikon cameras, Z7ii and D850, with 24-70 and 70-200 lenses and flashes. The belt and hardware handle the weight and bulk. I don't think the mirror mirrorless mount is necessary for the Z7ii, it also works fine with the dslr mount. But maybe there are other mirror mirrorless cameras that need the variation??
I bought extra pins because other reviews led me to believe I would have to add them to be able to put both cameras on either hip...not true! There is no reason to buy more pins for this functionality, both bases have 2 pins already.
I like the built-in hex wrenches, which I did use to tighten my rig once or twice during a 7-hour event shoot.
My nerve pain is greatly reduced, I have more energy, and I am generally less miserable from lugging cameras...very grateful for the photographers who invented this!
I haven't put it to a full days' test yet so 4 stars for now, but it seems like just the answer I was looking for. I tried for 2+ years to like the sling I picked up, but it just isn't great. Also, 5 stars for customer service, specifically from Andrew. He was very professional in helping me with some unexpected delivery delays.
Not only is the design amazing, the fit and fabric are beautiful. Not too hot and not too clingy. Nothing about it that I don’t love!
I have these on all 3 of my cameras. I shoot concert photography and sports. I have cages on all my cameras and these clamps and the spider holster system are perfect. I have used various harnesses and backpack type rigs but I got tired of the cameras constantly swinging around and the weight on my upper torso. This system is great. Wish I would have found this sooner. Highly recommend.
