Strap-free way to carry a camera

By Matt
Rated 5 out of 5

This system allows me to keep my camera at my side while I use my binoculars. With my camera in the Spider X holster, there’s no camera strap to interfere with the strap for my binoculars. Some things to keep in mind: (1) If you attach the holster to a narrow, lightweight belt, the belt will sag when you insert your camera (see first photo). This isn’t a problem as the holster holds the camera securely despite the sag. (2) If you wear a coat, you’ll need to either unzip it or reach under the bottom edge of it to release your camera from the holster. Either operation is rather cumbersome because releasing the camera requires two hands—one to release the holster lock and one to lift the camera—unless the lock lever is left in the unlocked position. (3) The camera attaches to the holster by means of a pin that protrudes from the camera plate. This pin pokes your left hand when you use it to support the lens barrel, making handheld shooting somewhat uncomfortable (see second photo).

MAJOR DESIGN FLAW...preventing it being a winner

I ordered this version recently to shoot a wedding...I was sporting a two camera set up and I already owned the bigger/bulkier belt loop version. This one is more like a clip onto your belt. Build is 100%, belt clip is nice and sturdy, stays in place. BUT...a major BUT... that release lever has a function that allows you to extend it full (upward) and it will click in place...in the open position! WHAT? WHY!?!?! I dropped my camera from that waist high position onto a stone patio!! Why would you do that? Who would want the 'locking mechanism' to not lock? And why would it be in that position...because when you're in the moment...you just unlock it quick and my bulging finger muscles just pull that lever all the way...putting into the unlock position. So when I return that camera to the holster...unknown to me...its not secure/locked. Makes no sense to me. My next move is to look at it more closely and break that part of the clip so it can't stay open. Anyway...that's my experience.

would this system work with a shimoda x30 or x50 back pack strap?
Asked by: Owen
According to the manufacturer, the Spider Camera Holster Spider X Camera Holster Backpacker Kit can fit on a strap up to 2.25 inches wide. Most straps can be compressed slightly if they are wider and usually you would mount this lower on the strap in a thinner area.

Can I use this holster with my Spider hand strap?..thanks
Asked by: Anthony
Thank you Anthony.. The answer is YES. Depending on your camera body type/size, we recommend either attaching the pro hand strap in between the Spider plate and the camera. Another way is using the rubber washer+metal washer+screw that come with the hand strap and attaching the hand strap on top of the Spider plate (we have an extra 14/20" threaded hole there). That is a solution we recommend for users who do not use tripod often or have an issue with the Spider Mirrorless plate rotating or moving out of placement. Thank you, Spider Team

Is the camera plate mandatory or will the Spider Camera Holster Black Widow Pin work? I notice the ball on the plate is flat on the end where as the pin is rounded.
Asked by: Brooks
Thank you Brooks - All Spider products are cross-compatible, so any Spider Pin will work on any camera holster. Adding to answer below, we have very good reasons for you to consider a Spider plate: 1. all Spider plates have an extra 14/20" thread to allow connection to any tripod. 2. The plates also allow for various types cameras to be carried at the most ergonomic way while on your belt. Depending on the weight of your camera/lens combination, you may want to consider using either our DSLR or Mirrorless plate. 3. Our Mirrorless plate has Arca-Swiss feature built in to allow seamless workflow with like tripods. Please feel free to contact us directly at spiderholster.com for any questions you may have, Best Wishes, Spider Team
