I've used many different rigs to carry 2 cameras in the 19 years shooting weddings. This is the absolute best system I've used. I used to have shoulder and neck soreness at the end of a long day using straps that hung off my shoulders. Now I carry the weight of 2 cameras around my hips which alleviated the fatigue. I like that the cameras dont swing around when I move like they do on straps. I've banged my cameras on tables and door frames when I used straps. They feel very secure with this rig. The hardware and belt is of great quality. I've worn this system for over a year now in many different conditions so I can give a glowing review.

I’m a 6 year wedding photographer and for 6 years I have have used shoulder straps and by the end of the day, my back and shoulders KILL me. Another photographer told me about this holster, so I decided to order and give it a try. I am so impressed with how comfortable this is, especially since I wear this for 8+ hours on a typical wedding day and it’s super easy to assemble and use. The quality is great and at first I was worried about my camera coming out of the latch, but they are locked in there good but also easy to get your camera on and off quickly when you need it. The strap itself is very lightweight and doesn’t put pressure on the parts of my back and I’m not in pain anymore after weddings. I highly recommend this holster!

I've used EVERYTHING to mount my cameras; straps, slings, chest holsters, belt clips. THIS is the best system out there that I'm aware of. The cost was a bit intimidating so I tried everything else first and I really wish I had just taken the plunge on this system earlier. The quality is immediately apparent; everything is very intuitive and well thought out. You barely notice the cameras, even with heavier lenses or long lenses. There's also an adapter included with this system so you can mount directly to the long lens itself rather than the camera.NOTE: If you're using bare mirrorless cameras, get the mirrorless version of this system. If you're using mirrorless cameras with battery grips (like me), get the DSLR version of the system (this version). If you move to bare cameras, you can always buy a mirrorless plate separately that will work just fine with this system.

I was a bit sceptical about spending this amount of money on this device but trust me if you do anything that you need to put your camera down or need two hands and especially if you use two cameras then this is a without a doubt the best but of kit I’ve ever bought. I have a Money Maker harness but this spider holster is by far the best !! Love it

LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this holster!! THANK YOU SPIDER!! I first saw this belt on a wedding photographer, and asked her about it. I’m so glad I did. I bought the SpiderPro Dual camera system v2 for DSLR cameras. It’s awesome! This belt makes lugging around 2 cameras (one with a 105mm macro lens, and the other with the whopping 150-600mm lens) a breeze! I have had neck, back & shoulder issues from years of carrying my equipment on my shoulders. I wish I would have started with this belt. It’s solid, easy to use, has a triple locking system so it doesn’t fall off, and it leaves your hands free. Amazing!! If you are on the fence about spending the money, don’t be. This belt is worth every cent. I highly recommend it.Oh, and watch the YouTube video on how to assemble it. Very helpful.Thank you Spider!! Keep up the great work!

Consiglio vivamente questo sistema per chi come me non vuole più avere pesi sulla schiena e/o disagi vari correlati a tracolle e bretelle fotografiche.Per anni ho usato sempre bretelle doppie per avere due fotocamere sempre con me nei servizi, ma alla lunga ho riscontrato diversi problemi con esse: il peso sulla schiena, il disagio di avere le bretelle appiccicate a spalle e busto tutto il giorno (soprattutto d'estate), i segni lasciati sulle camicie (soprattutto dalle bretelle in pelle) ed infine l'essere limitato in alcuni movimenti (come alzare la fotocamera sopra la testa, impugnarla in verticale con teleobiettivi, ecc.).Uso ancora le bretelle in alcuni servizi, soprattutto in quelli di breve durata o per i concerti, ma per tutto il resto non tornerei mai indietro.Bisogna farci un po l'abitudine, sì, ma da subito io ho cambiato completamente il modo di lavorare.Ovvio, avere la fotocamera in mano libera non è proprio rassicurante ed il sistema di aggancio-sgancio sicuro, seppure veloce ed ergonomico, toglie qualche frazione di secondo nel cambio macchina, ma ripeto, una volta fatta l'abitudine è davvero molto comodo.In ogni caso ci sarebbero comunque le impugnature in pelle sempre della Spider per avere una presa più salda.Delle bretelle fotografiche carine (come le Holdfast) sono sicuramente più belle da vedere e danno un aspetto più elegante, ma i benefici fisici e logistici sono di gran lunga maggiori con questo sistema a cintura.

This is a very well made and comfortable holster. It was a little pricey IMO, but so is my camera. It's made in the USA, and it's very secure. If you carry your camera in crowded situations, rest assured that once you clip it onto the belt, it can't fall of or be subject to someone trying to grab it and run. The camera locks in place once you attach it to the belt, and there's a release catch you have to push before you can take it off the holster. The holder mechanism is securely attached to the belt and holster, and will not come off without tools and a great deal of effort.I would have bought the double holster for my other camera, but it's just the single holster with an add-on clip for the other side that isn't permanently attached in the same fashion.

The holster built well and in my opinion this is the best solution for putting a camera on your waist. The mechanism lets to put a camera in quickly and securely.The only problem is that the v2 plate doesn't fit on a horizontal grip (I have a Canon EOS R) since there are two bumps that help to fit the plate securely on a bare camera but can't fit on a grip. So I use v1 plate for gripped camera instead.Other than that I like this product and highly recommend it!

I have been in photography as a professional for 10 years, and mainly I do individual and family portraits. I have also shot many weddings, and really needed a product like this, but I never thought I could justify the expense of a Spider. I finally bought the dual camera Spider holster, and I will never go without it again. This literally SAVED MY NECK AND BACK. Being almost 50, typically my back is very sore the day after an all day event, and I often have to visit the chiropractor to get relief. Not this time!! The design is genius and so practical too. All the weight of the gear is put on my hips and legs- not my arms and back. No straps around my neck, no dangling cameras that bump around & hit things. At first I was scared to walk around with it in the “unlocked” position, but for the bride walking down the isle, I didn’t lock it, and it was fine! I could switch cameras with so much ease! It was a little hard to get the 2nd camera holster in the right position, and I still need to move it forward a few inches, but once in place, it was fantastic. I did notice about half way through the day that the plate that attaches to the base of the camera worked itself a little loose. Fortunately, because of the good design, there is a small wrench built in to the plate and I could tighten it on the fly.Best purchase I have made in a long time!!

This is the second Spider Holster I buy. I purchased one in May 2018 (for single camera) and now this one for dual camera. I use this everywhere I go with my camera. It is incredible easy to hang the camera on this belt and also to take it out. I use the lock mechanism, just to be 100% safe when I hang my camera on this belt, but if you are just walking around, you can keep it unlocked.I had a 2-week trip where I photographed cities this fall. I must say that this Spider Holster is a life saver for me, while walking around for many hours with my camera. You can hardly feel it on your hip. I tried to use a neck strap one of the days for my camera, and after a while, I ended up holding the camera in my hand, as the neck pain just got too much.If you walk around a lot with your camera, this is definitely the best investment for your camera, besides lenses. I have also used the Spider Holster with my 100-400mm lens, which is pretty big. It works all fine, but I prefer a neck strap with this kind of big lenses, as I use the strap to get a more steady hold on the camera when shooting bird or monkey pictures up in the trees.So many people have stopped me and asked me about this Spider Holster, and they all seem to want one.
