Has anyone used a Spider Holster? I am impressed watching the videos and reading the reviews, it looks like a well made piece of kit.

What I also need to know is what I would need to order for a two camera setup? I am thinking 1D Mk2 and 70-200 on one side for panning high speed shots at rallying and 1Ds and 24-105 on the other side for driver close ups at stage starts etc.
 
I have a Spider holster and also a Cotton Carrier. In my opinion the best combination for you would be the larger zoom on the Cotton Carrier and the shorter zoom on the Holster. The Cotton Carrier does come with a holster as well as the chest harness. The Spider is the better of those two by far, simple to use and secure and beautifully made, it will last a lifetime.

The Cotton Carrier is good for fast action with a longish lens, I use an Arca Swiss adapter permanently fitted to the Cotton Carrier widget so I can use it with any camera or lens as all my lenses/cameras have the AS plate fitted.
The only thing to watch with the CC is there are two types of widget, an angled one for the gripped and 1D series bodies and a straight one for the rest (talking Canon here of course).

I have a spider holster and had no problems with the original belt, but they sent me a new one from the US straight away which was good of them ........ I find it a great bit of kit and it will hold the 1dmkiii and a 100-400L IS with 2ex no trouble at all......... alot of people have asked where I got it from .............order the belt and two holsters for a 2 camera set up.
