    Hi,
    I'm interested in buying a belt camera holder/holster- can anyone recommend any please?

    I've seen a wedding photographer with one and it seems very handy.


    Thanks,
    Pa

    Personally they seem great for m4/3 but no use for full frame. Normally you wouldnt see a wedding photog shooting that small.

    I have the SpiderLight holster myself. It's great, clips on to your belt, very secure and so easy to quickly access your camera.

    I have their handstrap too btw.

    Kinda true, I use the SpiderLight for my X-T2... I'm a wedding photographer btw and know others who also shoot "that small" :) I've seen wedding photographers on full frame DSLRs using belts though. Not as lightweight as the one I mentioned but they are used.

    Not a camera holster, but this came up on my FB feed a few days ago.

    Could be a handy way of carrying lenses rather than lugging a camera bag about. Pricing hasn't been announced as of yet.

    BTW. regarding camera holsters....I considered looking for one too, but instead went down the sling strap route instead (BlackRapid Sport for the heavy camera/lens combos and the Dual sling for lighter gear).

    Interesting concept but jut look how much its pulling down his belt and pants when he fits the 70-200 :D

    I've used the Spider system (7d w/grip & 70-200) and it's the business. Have walked miles with it on the golf course and it's 100 times better than a sling.

    can I ask @Nforce, where did you purchase the Spider Hand strap? Their shipping fees are 50% the cost of the product itself. Did you buy from one of their vendors?

    I bought direct. I was buying a few things though so the shipping cost wasn't as big a factor in the overall cost.
