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.
I just finished shooting my first wedding since buying a spider holster and it is a game changer! I will never go back to a double harness. My back and shoulders are pain free, and no more cameras clanking all over the place and my long lens smashing into the ground every time I squat down.
So honestly I was on the fence about purchasing the spider hostler, not because of the price but because being a wedding photographer and switching up cameras within seconds made me nervous.
I have a wonderful high quality made dual camera harness that I would always get compliments on but honestly as someone with chronic back pain it wasn’t helping. I tested out the spider holster for a 9 hour wedding and holy smokes! No pain at all the entire day!! Plus switching back and forth between my two cameras for the day was a breeze. I love the auto lock feature on the holster so this way you just have to slip it back in and it’s locked, not going anywhere!
I 1000% recommend this to any photographer who no longer wants to have an achy back!
Yesterday's wedding was the premiere for using the dual spider holster and I'm so pleased. It was so, so easy to use and felt very secure. My back says hello & THANKS <3
Durante mucho tiempo he sufrido dolores de espalda cuando cubría mis sesiones y los eventos como quinceañeras y bodas, ya que usaba arnés para cargar mis fotografía. El problema era el peso sobre mis hombros y eso ocasionaba mucho cansancio y dolor después de cada evento. Ahora me siento más libre para trabajar y mucho más cómodo. Me puedo mover fácilmente y tener mis dos cámaras a mi disposición en cuestión de segundos.
En un lado tengo mi 24-70 y en el otro el 70-200 listos para la acción.
I bought a one camera harness earlier this year but as a wedding photographer, I saw the benefit of having two cameras on me ready at once. Buying this holster helped me avoid getting a whole new set up! Now I have my mirrorless camera on my harness and my dsrl ready and waiting on my hip. It stays very secure, doesn't feel like I'm being weighed down and it'll be so easy to add another holster to my belt when I'm ready to!
Also, their Customer Service is unmatched. I realized I bought the wrong holster for what I was using it for and was seriously so surprised with how quickly I was responded to by email. They helped me start the return, sent me a label, and got me the right product delivered all within a week. Truly so helpful and such a good experience.
Would have given 5 stars except for one small complaint. I purchased this holster independently of the belt. Using my own belt, which is very strong and fits the holster very well, I have only experienced one issue. This holster clip is very well made and machine extremely well but there is no way (that I have found) to completely secure this holster to the belt. On a couple of occasions I have literally pulled the holster off off the belt while attempting to bring the camera out of the holster. It would be an absolutely perfect holster if this detail were corrected and I would give it 5+ stars. Other than that small issue I couldn’t be happier with this holster.
Perfect. Very solid and precise fitment. Very happy with this plate.
I have used the hand strap for 2-3 weeks now and LOVE it. It saves my fingers from death gripping my camera and I'm still in good shape even after a 10 hour wedding day- redistributes the weight of my camera to my palm instead of fingers. I no longer leave wedding days feeling like I have arthritic fingers that are deformed. Feels extremely secure and very comfortable to use. Took all of 5 minutes to get used to using camera controls ever so slightly differently with just because of slightly restricted range of motion, it is like I've always used it.
The new Spider Lens Pouch v2 will fit the wider Canon RF 20 to 200mm zoom lens.
So much less stress on my back. Easy to set up and use. I’m so happy!
The Spider Holster is one of the best gear investments I’ve made. It keeps my camera right at my side, freeing up my hands and saving my back during long wedding days. The quick-draw access is smooth and intuitive. It’s sturdy, reliable, and makes me feel like a photo-taking cowboy in the best way. Highly recommend for any photographer who’s tired of neck straps and sore shoulders.
Took me two years to convince myself to try spider camera holster, the system is just wonderful, free shoulders once again:)!!!
I was disappointed in the longevity of my SpiderPro Hand Strap v2. When I wrote in to customer support, they made everything right. It's hard to find companies that stand by their products. They have a customer for life.
This works perfectly with my RF 70-200. I used to run into issues hooking my camera into the holster when relying solely on the under-body plate, but mounting the plate directly to the lens has completely solved that problem. It locks in smooth, sits balanced, and makes on-the-go shooting way more efficient. Total game-changer for anyone using heavier glass.
I love the easy access to my cameras without compromising my back! I’ve been posting on TikTok and raving about you guys!
