As an educator in the photography industry, I often get questions about what is the must have gear to do what I do, particularly when it comes to destination portraits. Obviously, I talk about the cameras, lenses and lighting I use, but one thing I ALWAYS mention is perhaps the ONLY thing that has come on every trip with me… My Spiderholster camera belt..
Throughout the years, I have switched camera gear from Canon to Nikon and then to Sony. I have switched lighting brands.. I have switched tripods, lightstands, camera bags, etc. The only thing I have not switched is how I carry my cameras during the shoot and even to/from the shoot.
The Spiderholster belt has been the only constant because it works. Its that simple. No other camera carrying device that I have used has worked as well as the Spiderholster. Not only does it take the weight off the shoulders and neck and put it on the hips, it also allows easy access to the camera when you need it. No fiddling with straps. No unclipping a hook to bring the camera to your eye. No cameras are swinging around your body as you walk… Simply unclip it from the holster and you are good to go. It can be operated with a single hand very quickly.
When I travel, my Spiderholster is key. As you can see in some of the pictures below, some locations require me to be a pack mule so to speak. I have to carry camera bags, dresses, etc. The Spiderholster allows me to take the camera out of the bag and take a little bit more weight off the shoulders. It also allows me to set everything down and start shooting right away. I dont need to fiddle with taking it out of the bag or unhooking it from a strap. But more importantly, it allows me to shoot efficiently by allowing me to keep my hands free. I can help pose the client. I can move a light stand. I can fluff a dress…
When I shoot weddings, I use the dual holster that allows me to place 2 cameras at my hips with different focal lengths. I typically shoot with a wide lens like a 24-70 and then the other camera has a telephoto like a 70-200. I can easily switch between the two cameras and not have awkward straps holding cameras on my shoulders. And lets be honest… its a pretty cool feeling to slide it in and out of the holster :)
Beyond the camera belt holsters, they offer a wide variety of products like a backpack holster, hand straps, and lens pouches. Their products fit all manufacturer brands, so whether you shoot Canon, Nikon, Sony or another brand, Spiderholster has a product for you.
If you are ready to ditch the camera strap and move to the best camera carrying system, go to the website and place your order.. You wont regret it :)
