Does the metal part wear off over time when the metal ball keeps rubbing the holding point ? Will the camera drop off ?

[@joystrotz]

I love your style Jeramie! You were the first speaker I ever heard at the WPPI conference over a decade ago, and you've only gotten more informational and entertaining. Just awesome! I'm finally switching from a bunch of straps to the Spider Holster. I think it will be amazing! Thx!!

[@JeramieLu]

Wow! Thank you so much for the amazing words!!!!! Hit me up if you have any questions on these!

[@joystrotz]

@@JeramieLu Thank you! I just finished 3 editorials, a corporate session and a wedding this week with the holster - totally successful!!! It's simply amazing to be able to bend down & fix dresses, open a reflector etc. without having to put my camera down. Can't believe I didn't try this sooner! Spider accidentally sent me two right mount plates so I'm trying to get that resolved but got a lens collar plate in the meantime so that is a temporary fix if I wear it on the left. Thanks @jeramielu!

[@shutterpulseeventphotograp3979]

you can use capture clip with 1 hand actually. you just need to mount it the right way for 1 hand access. you mount it sideways so you can press it with your pinky or other free finger to release and lift

[@mrcs1974]

Thanks for the info, I’ve decided to go for the spider set up due to your own experience. 👍🏼

seems like another plus is for the spider holster is if you have a Speedlight attached the flash is not sticking out.

I have the same Peak design setup, but my belly isn't powerful enough to open the Thinktank belt. And I do have to lower my camera to unclip the 2nd camera. I might check out the spider holster, but I don't like the plates they use. And unfortunate of the Peak Design capture clips is that the bolts loosen sometimes.

[@JeramieLu]

I really think we can come together to build something!!

[@QVL75]

Excellent video comparing the 2 systems! Thanks! If I have a Canon R7 and RF 100-500L, should I buy the DSLR or Mirrorless version, and can I put the bracket on bottom of the camera instead of lens foot?

[@JeramieLu]

Thank you for watching!!! I would go with the mirrorless and I would put one on the foot of your lens collar and also one on the body of your camera as well.

[@QVL75]

@@JeramieLu Thanks. So it’s totally safe to hang by the camera with a telephoto zoom like the RF 100-500L?

[@ernestosavarese9924]

Hi Jeramie.. Great comparison... thank you... I have been using the spider system for years now.. however I have switched out the spider belt for the Thinktank pro-speed belt. My Spider system is now smaller, lighter and more comfortable. Now I can actually use my trouser front pockets whilst using the pro speed belt. You can get special adaptors for the spider holster to use with the pro speed belt. Ps Love the little dance moves too.. :) :)

[@JeramieLu]

Thank you so much for watching!! I used to use the thinkTank Speed Belt with the Capture one series. It worked well but I havent thought of using it for the spider. Is the buckle on the TT belt secure?

[@ernestosavarese9924]

@@JeramieLu Yup.. the speed-belt is as strong as the spider one. The speed-belt does not have the safety 3rd button on the buckle... but I have been using it for over a year with 70-200 plus flash with no problems at all.

Hey!!! Sadly I am not to sure how to help unless its in front of me. Are you talking about the belt or the hand strap?

[@TheCoffeeField]

Only issue for me with the Peak is that if you attach it to a waist belt, you can only attach and release the cameras horizontally instead of vertically. I don’t think it’s convenient horizontally

[@JeramieLu]

I agree... It was limiting and not as smooth.

[@keekanglio5123]

If your belly unbuckling your belt, I suggest you adjust the belt such that the buckle is nearer to either your left or right hip bone. This way should reduce the risk of the buckle unbuckling and the added bonus is that you will not feel something obstructing you when you squat or sit down.

[@JeramieLu]

LOL... Or I just need to lose some weight. But I totally agree and you are so right with moving the clip. The thing I like about Spider though is that extra security feature that even though I can belly unclip it still stays locked. Total user error!

[@vitabcdefghijklmno]

@@JeramieLu hey man, nice review. I have the spiderpro for think tank belt too and worried about the belly unbuckling thing. So can I use the spiderpro plate for thinktank belt with the new spider belt v2 that have the extra latch for unbuckling? Or I need to buy a different plate?

Buy a blue alpha conceal carry belt. Super stable and it won't be breaking as it has a spring steel core, has a cobra buckle too so easy to get on and off.

You can LOAD them with weight and they don't bend and hardly warp since the steel core in them keeps it stable. Carried my D600 with a Tamron 2.8 70-200mm and the belt didn't even budge. Also any of the 2 EDC (every day carry) series belts comes with a lifetime warranty.

I realize this video is a couple years old, but I’ve had my spider pro for longer and I know they include a washer with a silicone pad and screw with the hand strap so that the washer holding your hand strap won’t interfere with the lens plate. 🤙🏼

[@k_srah4387]

Jeramie Lu For sure. I’ve also considered the moneymaker but eh, pricey and I still shoot with one camera. I jump back and forth with camera strap and spider holster. I’m thinking of getting the Ona leather strap to match my bag.

[@hugolate]

Hi Jeramie :) I'm Hugo, thanks for your video, very helpful. I have some questions, and perhaps you could help me. I think and agree with you, SpiderPro seems the most confortable option for working, workflow... but i'm looking for something like more discreet... and I see features of SpiderLight and PeakDesign (used without special belts and pads...) perhaps more like this... just with a good leather belt, so... knowing that driving and handling would be not so good as the SpiderPro... do you think SpiderLight and PD Capture 3 are enough strong to support an EOS 5D (simple without grip) + 24-70 2.8 L lens ... as maximun weight and size ? (and other smaller combinations). I like the simple and discreet design of PD c3... but I'm not sure about supporting the weight with this DSLR combination and its use, comfort and walking... I don't need a super fluid and fast way, I can take a pair of seconds to take or let the camera, don't need necessarily super fast like spiderPro, but want to be confortable and secure... And I suposse in the middle of both could be the SpiderLight, but I don't know if the design supports better or worse this DSLR combination that the PD v3.... ? what do you think ?? Something I think don't like neither, are the big plates, specially on PRO model, and prominent metal pins of Spider to keep the cameras in my bags... scratches... but understand the ability and speed using while taking pictures... Thanks a lot from Galicia, Spain. Hugo

[@JeramieLu]

I am just seeing this now. I am so sorry for not responding. What did you decide to do?

[@hugolate]

@@JeramieLu Hi Jeramie, Finally i took one PeakDesign, and perhaps will take the second one, i'll see... I know Spider is faster and more confortable, I'm sure, specially into a studio or if you don't walk or move a lot, or outside, but i need it for taking photos outside, and don't like the camera and lenses moving and swinging around... so i decided to consider these aspects of the Peak combinated with a light and thin standard strap VS the speed of the Spider. Another reason is sthetic, because i prefer a small plate... and a good leather belt, ... and don't like that kind of pads and belt either... specially in cases like a wedding... Thank You :)

[@BoxerTys]

Thanks, it's an old but nice video :-), but i bought the Spider Pro Holster SCS V2 yesterday, so i'm looking at some video reviews, you are using a camera hand strap, and have a grip, it looks like you can not shoot in a potrait position when using the strap ? and i mean the potrait knobs of the grip...

[@JeramieLu]

Hey!!! So it is an old video. You got to it just now which is awesome. Actually just got the latest version and am shooting a wedding with it today. I filled the video yesterday with the new set up. The hand strap leaves your hand in it on horizontal but in portrait you have to take your hand out. You can access all buttons but your camera as normal though. Hope that makes sense. The latest version is pretty much the same but the connections to the camera have been improved.

[@BoxerTys]

@@JeramieLu Thanks Jeramie for your quick response, so i needed to look for another camera strap then the one from Spider, i saw one from JJC witch looks more fit to use with a grip, ordered from Amazon and will get it tuesday, fingers crossed... ;-)

Someone may use what they need in whatever situation they need. I only shoot for myself for fun. I have a peak designs strap, capture, and lens kit. works well for me to hook my capture to my purse and use the lens kits clipped into the capture to carry my extra lens. A belt or shoulder holster would be great if I had two cameras and was shooting weddings or other commercial shoots.

[@SterlingSanders]

Reverse the direction of the lens collar, then you'll be able to use the 70-200. Secondly, maybe you should try a shoulder strap system instead of the belt. Third, you should use the wrist strap when you're hiking with the camera in your hands. I've done that all over the world, and it allows you to really tighten down the security of it in your hand if you're not docking it every time you're not shooting.

I used a pair of pliers on the allen wrench and got one lose on the camera mount. But I also stripped one of the allen holes on one of the lens plates. Now I have a lens plate with two pins and another camera plate with none. Double pitiful. Hard to believe these people are staying in business.
