I tried it out at pdn photoplus. I carry several bodies as a wedding photographer and love my think tank belt. This spider holster is hot. I had the MkII with 70-200 IS on the spider and it hangs natural and comfortable. I am pretty tied to my think tank system but this thing still has me thinking….

This is the hottest thing EVER. The Spider clip fits well with a conventional belt too, so when I day shoot for fun, I don’t have to wear the Spider belt. Of course, for those of you that are scared, maybe you should keep to the belt with safety lock….
Love it.

Micah, Why would the camera be dropped?
Get it Stolen? Strange comment, Have you not read the article about the locking mechanism?

Seems like a good way of keeping the camera out of the way.

Yeah. That looks like a great way to drop a camera. Or get it stolen while you’re arms are full. And a bit too bulky on the vertical grip.

Light compact bodies might be ok–7d/d700 sans grip. But this scares me for a body with integrated grip and a large lens like a 70-200 or 28-70.

And added shoulder strap sounds like a good idea, to combat any slippage down your waist.

What happens when you have to put a lens belt from Think Tank or Newswear on top of that for the extra gear some wedding or PJ shooters would want to carry around?
Also, it looks like you have to forego the strap – whether the R or neck kind – when shooting. Unsafe.
