Terrible desing. It's impossible to attach the strap in to camera. The leash can't turn enough to reach the sockets
Full time pro I use the spider belt a lot. It was finally starting to look a bit shabby it Still worked. I hope to get another 7-8 years out of this one. I love getting the weight to my hip. It saves the neck and back if it’s a 10 hour shoot in a wedding day. Or one hour family session. I don’t go to a photo session without it.
The tether provides security for the camera and is light enough so that it is not burdensome like a regular camera strap around the neck. No problem with using both the tether and my Spider hand strap.
I've been using a shoulder system for my two cameras that I would use on engagement and wedding shoots. It was taxing on my body to the point where my massage therapist would keep telling me that I needed to find another solution.
At one point I was reduce my camera holding to one, and would always put the camera in-between my legs while I was working with my hands on something else. My massage gal said, "NO MORE!"
ENTERED the Spider Camera Holster.
The weight distribution on my hips - GOD SEND! YAY for no more shoulder pain. Plus- as a person who is always hands on in holding the veil, train of a dress, doing flat lays, etc. - having my hands free whenever I need is super helpful!
very convenient and it takes the weight off my bad shoulders
If there is one item i can not live without it is my Spider system! If for some reason I forget it at home (which is very seldom) I am lost. This is by FAR the best investment you can make!
Works so well
Z6 fit. With a little bit of modifying the plastic of the strap to make the 3 buttons fit, the strap is great. I have them on all my cameras and they provide great handling.
While I haven’t gotten to use much, its proven to be a godsend. Works the way its supposed to as well as transferring the weight from my back to my hips Great for carrying and with the arca swiss plate makes the work so much streamlined.
This was my second SpiderPro belt - just replaced a single camera model with the dual-camera option. Very well made and easy to use, it takes the weight off your back and your shoulders and moves it to a very manageable and comfortable waist location.
The hooks that hold the camera to the belt are WAY over-engineered and solid and the over-all construction of everything is done well. The heavy nylon (?) material and the design is superior to just about anything I’ve seen or tried and it’s very quick and easy to hang the camera when it’s not needed or to pull it off when it’s time.
After having used the Spider Holster system, I’ll never go back to a shoulder strap, much less a dual strap! The camera/s always swung around and banged into everything - this system simply works better and is much more heavy duty!
I love the hand strap. I started out using a sling and got tired of fumbling with it. I love the SpiderPro system and especially how comfortable the hand strap is. It not only feels comfortable but also completely secure when I'm shooting. I've hated a few gadgets, liked some others, but can honestly say that I love this purchase and what it does for my shooting.
Recommended by Spider staff from an e-mail inquiry from me about a different camera support product. This Spider-X Belt Holster is tiny, unobtrusive, and is perfect for supporting my Leica Q2 Monochrome mirrorless camera, without having a cumbersome camera strap hanging off the camera. A perfect suggestion from Spider staff.
I had to put my photography hobby on hold for several years due to injuries of my cervical spine & shoulders that prohibited me from carrying my camera around my neck. Even fancy camera harnesses could not disperse the weight enough to allow me to use any of my cameras. In the three weeks since receiving my SpiderPro Duel Mirrorless Camera System I have gone on three pain-free photography excursions. I can't write this review without crying tears of joy and relief. This holster system not only functions as an adaptive photography tool it is simply a superior method for carrying and using cameras.
Easy change over, took about 5 minutes. The original plate I bought a number of years ago for my big Nikon D800 did not do so well on my new and much smaller Olympus OM1. Access to the battery door required the removal of the plate. Now with the new plate it is a perfect and removed a lot of frustration for me. Good job folks - I’m really enjoying my new rig.
Have the system on my Nikon D750 and now my Z6ii. Using it along with my Spider duel belt and it sure makes things easy. Thanks for a great product!!
I love all my spider products- they are amazing.
But I was disappointed the largest size doesn’t really fit my lenses.
My canon 85 1.2 with the attachments on
My canon RF 28-70 f2 with hood on
And my RF 70-200 with hood
I need it to be a little bigger please.
Make an XL and send me an email and I’ll buy several.
Is this a lot of money for a camera harness? YES.
Is it worth it? YES!
I've tried many dual camera strap solutions, and this is by FAR the best option. One massive benefit is that you can kneel or sit without having your second body contact the ground. Beyond that, the annoying camera straps getting in the way of flip-out screens and limiting the camera position is a non-issue. Ask anybody who uses a dual camera strap system, and they will most likely tell you of a time their cameras bumped into each other. If you bend down to get something from a camera bag, your cameras will slide off your hips and contact each other. Not with this system. They sit securely on your hips without moving an inch. After a few weeks, I don't even need to look at my hip to re-attach the camera; it's become muscle memory.
Try yours today—I know you won't regret it
I have 2 of these, one fits nicely on my Canon EOS R3, but I have to turn the plate backwards as it doesn’t fit properly on my vertical gripped R5 as the slot the tripod slot is too short as the 1/4 20 tripod hole is positioned to the back of the grip and the plate doesn’t fit flat, can this be looked into?
Absolutely love this product! I got these for our event team, and they were amazing! The quality is great, they're easy to use, very comfortable, and look fantastic! As a plus-size individual, these fit perfectly!
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.
