A duel would be funny, though. The winner would get a pic of the loser trying to get his camera out of the holster.]]>Nov 2nd 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Hilarious voiceover.
Creepy video.

Not sure if this company is going to beat the average North American's jutting-out belly for comfort and convenience (with a Live-View camera and articulated screen, the belly also acts as a semi-stable bipod!).]]>Nov 2nd 2009 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 3:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/
Though, honestly, I'm not convinced. Even a general camera strap isn't THAT much of a hassle for active photographers. Just go get a BlackRapid strap: http://www.blackrapid.com/ Functions the same way as this thing above.]]>Nov 2nd 2009 3:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 4:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/

Unless by strap you mean the long strappy thing the guy tucks into his belt at 1.03.

I may be wrong, what do you call those in the US??]]>Nov 2nd 2009 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 5:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/
On the note of durability - a 5D mkII is no 1D but it is a pretty solid camera and you really shouldn't be worried about it, especially if you have L lenses on the end that can really take a beating and keep on working. I am careful, but after a while you just become so comfortable with and assured by the equipment that you can relax a little and just know that everything will survive an accident.]]>Nov 2nd 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 5:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 2nd 2009 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/

This thing looks legit for pros shooting multiple bodies on the go. I know I would look into it. I shot weddings with two bodies and this thing would have been HANDY to have on the go. Bottom line though is you often have to test it in the field to see how it integrates into your workflow. The best looking idea may just plain suck in the real world for a reason you didn't foresee.

I used it for the first time at a wedding this past weekend. FAR more effective than straps. I had the Black Rapid setup and hated that.

Love that I can take off the second camera loop and put it onto my belt for when I'm just out shooting casually. ]]>Nov 2nd 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Nov 6th 2009 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/spider-camera-holster-system-lands-for-retail-video/Similar concept , different solution, no "cow bell effect" at belt, no "cow bell effect" at neck.
