"Spider Camera Holster"
Did You Know?
Spider Holster was initially designed to slide on or through a regular waist belt. Through development, it was decided to make a pro gear dedicated SpiderPro belt to be able to handle the heavier camera loads of Pro shooters. The Spider belt with the Holster attached became an instant classic - it is still the most sold item to date.
Did You Know?
Spider Holster is the first to enable carrying a DSLR upside down with the carrying position not directly over the tripod socket. The Spider Plate is the only camera plate with “arms”. These arms allow the camera to be carried from a point in between the camera body and the lens - a much more balanced and stable carrying position.
Did You Know?
The SpiderPro Plate did not exist in the preliminary concept and development of the Holster. It was after using the plateless system with a pro flash that Spider team knew there was a need for a solution to conveniently and securely carry a camera with ProFlash attached. Spider Holster is the only product to offer a working solution designed from the ground up for securely and conveniently carrying a DSLR and a flash at the hip.
