SPIDER pro Holster

[ChrisHeathcote]

Ok, I know these things get asked a million times but, my question is rather specific, unlike the usual which is the best....

I have just spent the whole weekend shooting the Thundersport GB and absolutely loved it, my 5d3 was excellent, my Sigma 120-300 Sport was equally as good even paired with a 2x converter for 90% of the time. Now the downside. After a day of carting them round on my Black Rapid my shoulder was really complaining, I also got a little tired of pulling the strap back onto my shoulder (I now know how woman feel when they have a loose bra strap!) So back to the point of this thread.

Does anyone use the Spider pro system with big lenses and how do you find them. Also I can't find anywhere that states the maximum load weight for the pins.

All experiences welcome

Many thanks

With really heavy lenses like that, I use a double-harness, like the Black Rapid version. Attach the camera to the right side, and lens to the left, so it all hangs horizontally across your middle. Works perfectly, and v comfy

Thanks for that Richard, I might give it a go, I've been a little nervous about hanging all that weight from something so small

Don't be. And with the method I described, it's double-safe being attached independently at both ends.
