Don't slam the guy for trying an original idea. But this really doesn't seem the correct rig for a DSLR in anything other then very specific instances. However for P&S cams? I may just pick one of these up.]]>Oct 13th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/]]>Oct 13th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/Oct 13th 2009 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/

as an alternative, blackrapid has a strap system that can be work "sling style" diagonally over the shoulder. http://www.blackrapid.com/

I use the rapid strap. Much better and safer than this gun-lock thing......]]>Oct 13th 2009 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/Oct 13th 2009 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/Oct 13th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/
Black Rapid's strap is far better for DSLR use.]]>Oct 13th 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/
For traditional strap users: try loosening or using a longer strap and wear it across the body (messenger bag/purse-in-NYC stylee) instead of hanging from the neck or off of one shoulder.

if you must wear it hanging from the neck, try shortening the strap (leverage, you know).]]>Oct 13th 2009 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/
You don't realize how often your hips bump into things until you have 2 grand strapped to your side. I don't experience many inadvertent chest bumps, however, so I'm fine with my padded neck strap.

The Cotton Carrier actually looks pretty clever, I might give that a try.]]>Oct 13th 2009 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/Oct 13th 2009 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/
For cameras with longer lenses, it is best to use it on the vest, where it is not prone to the more swinging action of the hip unit.

I shoot a lot of weddings, so having the ability to carry two cameras is awesome! This thing is built tough too!!!

The price of $139 may sound a little steep, but with the alleviation of any neck pain from the traditional straps, ability to use the Cotton Carrier for any activity I can think of (including snowboarding and mountain biking), and getting not one, but a two camera carrying system makes it the deal of the century in my opinion.]]>Oct 13th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/Oct 13th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/Oct 13th 2009 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/Oct 13th 2009 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/Oct 13th 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/Oct 14th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/
Here's another tip, don't use this with sweat pants.]]>Oct 13th 2009 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/spider-camera-holster-review-stick-em-up/

You'd certainly look like less of a tool with this spider holster than with the cotton carrier.
