I’m honestly impressed with this holster. It feels very solid and well made. As a photographer, being able to grab my camera quickly and keep my hands free is a big deal, and this works perfectly. It’s comfortable, secure, and makes shooting much easier. Very happy with it!
Я действительно впечатлён этим холстером. Он ощущается очень надёжным и качественным. Как фотографу, мне важно быстро брать камеру и держать руки свободными, и здесь это работает идеально. Удобно, безопасно и сильно упрощает работу. Очень доволен!
Overall, I’m happy with the product. But when I got my set, one of the holster plastic clips was cracked. Seems like a design flaw. I am a bit concerned about the longevity of this product. Spider did send me a new one pretty quickly.
This works super well with the holster belt. However one day I noticed that the plate on the camera was getting loose and the camera was no longer quite aligned to the plate. I didn’t have the hex wrench in me so I was stressing out that the camera was going to come off the plate. After the shoot I googled and saw that other plates had a built in storage for the hex wrench….. but not this one for the mirrorless camera.
I recently purchased the newest V3 system including the sling bag. Coming from a dual harness system, I was always down for the count the day after an event. I’m talking 10-12 hour wedding days carrying two camera bodies, one with my 24-70 2.8 and the other switching between my 70-200 2.8 and 85 1.2 it was excruciating at times, but now, I feel ZERO discomfort and I find myself wishing I had made the switch sooner. I know it’s a considerable financial investment, but I cannot recommend this product enough given what it has done for me ergonomically. Seriously! I just returned from a 5 day editorial retreat in Big Sur where I shot back to back elopement style sessions ranging from 2-4 hours each day and I feel fantastic! If you’re on the fence, just do it! It’s worth every penny and I’m 100% convinced you won’t regret it.
I love the spider holster so much!! It was so nice to be more hands free and I had no back or hip pain!
I needed to find something that will give my shoulders some relief as long days with two heavy camera set ups can really wear on the shoulders, and I loveeeee the spiderPro dual V2. Feels so secure and just love the appearance of it in general. highly recomment
I have loved my single holster for a year and now even more that I can carry 2 cameras.
This is not only good on the eyes but good on the back too! Seriously so happy I went with this instead of a harness. The black leather is beautiful!! You will not be disappointed.
I’m a plus size woman XXL/1x and have the V2 and no issues with the fit on that model. With v3 it barely fits around me and sits on the very last Velcro. Upon seeing so many men wearing this belt I didn’t even think this would potentially be an issue for me but as I put it on I was concerned that it wasn’t going to fit properly at all. Offering a plus size or extended size option might be worth looking into. On first thoughts I like the belt feature significantly more than the clip and that this feels more padded. Excited to work it into my sessions/weddings this season.
I’ve been wanting to get a spider holster for a while now and finally got one when I saw the new leather options. They are both beautiful and functional! It’s going to take a while to get used to but I am looking forward to feeling less back pain!
The Spider X Backpacker Kit is a must have item for aspiring wildlife photographers! It enables hands-free ability when trekking through the environment whilst having the camera instantly on hand to capture that unexpected moment. Highly recommended!
I’ve been using the Spider Holster for over 10 years, and it’s easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. At this point, photographing a wedding without it would be almost impossible for me.
The quality of the material is exceptional, demonstrating remarkable durability, and the delivery was executed with impressive promptness.
I’ve been using Spider Holster for 15 years, and Version 3 is a welcome upgrade. I like the look of the Spider Pro Plate v3 much better than v2, and the QD socket makes it even more functional. The v3 holster is much more comfortable than v2—even on a standard belt.
An amazing product, easy to use, super sleek, super comfy and been a game changer for my back.
Originally bought in April 2024, almost lasted me 2 years of daily use. So good and dependable just replacing worn out pads as the hardware is as good as day one.
