Review on 📷 Spider Holster - Tripod Carrier Attachment + BlackWidow Camera Holster: Effortlessly Access Your Tripod Anywhere! by Joe Martin

A few weeks later with this product I found out how it works for me I bought SpyderHolster because I need an easy way to keep my camera handy when I walk my dog on a daily basis. We typically ride 3-5 miles a day on a variety of routes including old forest roads, regular sidewalks, dog parks, beaches and other places that aren't particularly photogenic. The neck strap never worked because I had to bend down to pick up dog poop and maneuver the leash while we walked. I was also concerned that the camera or its LCD might be scratched or damaged by various buttons, buckles, rivets, zippers, etc. on my clothing. I first attached the SpiderHolster to my regular belt right on my hip. It didn't work because the position interfered with my normal hand movements while walking. Then I tried moving it backwards --- no. It was hard, even painful, for my old joints to get in there and control the release. Now I can find it just in front of the right side pocket of the overalls. The backpack is positioned on my belt so that it wraps around the waistband loop of the jumpsuit, which serves to keep it in place. The belt clip doesn't move very easily when the belt is buckled and taut, so there's really no need to spread the belt loop. In this position, the camera is then hung down with the zoom lens pointed outward at my right thigh. Two downsides to this positioning: I sometimes forget it's there until the camera catches or catches something, or if I'm really unlucky the inside of my forearm could hit the end of the lens and hit the cap latch without me. noticed the cap fell off. I would like them to make the strap attachment smaller if possible. I have also used the SpiderHolster with an Olympus BCL-15mm f8.0 lens cap attached to the camera. In this case, the camera is hanging straight down and the lens is pointing towards my body. Everything seems fine. This lens has a built-in lens cap, so don't worry about it being repelled. Mechanically, the latch works great and I'm used to attaching and detaching the camera to the belt mount. Reattaching it could easily be done with one hand for me if it wasn't for the wrist strap I wear on the camera. The mounting hole is Y-shaped for easy finding, and the latch simply pops open as the bullet slips on its way. Picking it up is a two-handed operation for me: left hand for the latch and right hand for the camera to quickly aim at the shooting position. It's possible to draw with one hand by reaching over the camera and pressing the latch, but then my hand isn't properly positioned to use the camera. I usually leave the ball attached to the tripod hole, although it's still a bit confusing when I lower the camera as it no longer sits flat. On the other hand, it is very easy to take the hand naturally placed in the normal shooting position. There's a wrist strap that I attach to the camera that I like to clip onto the ball when I'm storing the camera in the mount so it doesn't dangle around as I walk around. The included ball key is a very cheap stamped key and I don't think it will last indefinitely so I intend to replace it with something more permanent. Be sure to tighten the ball with a wrench. Please note the attached warning notice. I am very happy with the SpiderHolster and would recommend it to Micro 4/3 shooters based on my experience.
