I have been playing around with a new camera holster, called the Spider Holster and love it so much I wanted to share. I have thought about this idea for years using a traditional tripod plate. Glad I didn’t go down that road since I can see how many problems I would have had that Spider holster had to overcome. Check out the video below to see it in action. The two main draw backs that it has are easily fixable and one is already in the works. It is a bit heavy but I suspect the next iteration will have a lot more machining and probably use a lighter weight aluminum like 6061 or some other product from Alcoa. The other issue is that it doesn’t attach to my  Think Tank belt but they are releasing a fix for that shortly.

I use the Luma Loop on side which attaches to my 70-200mm and then a wide angle lens on the holster. The clip can be used with my normal belt or the supplied belt from Spider. My ability to be ready for  a shot is much faster. It can mean the difference between a good shot and a great shot!
