301: SpiderPro DSLR Camera Plate

First off, I love the Spider products, been using them for many years. I wrote a note to inform Spider that there was a flaw in the Tether bail assembly that is an accessory for the plate. I received an acknowledgement of the defect, no further communication. I will assume they will fix this issue in future shipments of the Tether bail kit. I would have loved receiving three replacement bars correctly drilled and chamfered... (No way to attach pictures in this review) See below.

Hi ****,
We fulfilled your order from our store Spider Camera Holster 33 days ago and would love to get your feedback.
What do you think about DSLR Camera Plate?
My response Jan 30:
Hello,

I received my order and thanks for the fast delivery. I love the quality of the plates and pins. I’m writing to inform you that the Tether Bail Accessory Kit has a small stainless “keeper” bar that holds the loop in place. I ordered three of these and they all have the same issue. These seem to be chamfered incorrectly and hole too large for the actual screws that come with it. The furnished screws, one 3mm and the other 6-32 SAE, do not seat in the hole correctly and protrude approx. 3/64ths above the surface of the keeper. (6-32 fits the camera, 3mm fits the telephoto lens foot) It seems the hole in the keeper may be chamfered 90 or 100 degrees, whereby the screws are 82 degrees. This causes the screw to bottom out on the keeper at the hole edge at the bottom. I had to re-chamfer the bar so the screw would seat and be flush with the bar so as to not cut into the camera grip. A simple way to see this is to open one of the package and set the screw into the hole. It will rotate (wobble) and not seat in the chamfered hole. (Camera: 1DX Mk II) Just FYI at this point.

Thanks for your attention to this,
****

What a relief!!!!
Now I am a Camera slinger!!!! Love it

When I am reborn in 3047, I wish to be a cyborg with a Nikon mirrorless camera secured with a Spider camera plate as my right arm and a light saber as my left arm.

I emailed Spider customer service about a spring that fell out of one of my camera spider mounts, within minutes I got a response. I was sent a replacement part immediately and problem solved... Fantastic customer service. Love there products.

Wonderful product. Need a holster for my phone on the actual holster.
