" 10 years and over 600 weddings ago, I bought my very first spider holster belt. It was the very first generation,and although its had a hard life and is looking very well used, I was still using it full-time until march 2025.

Its been by far the best investment I've ever made in my photography career. As photographers we throw money at new cameras and lenses,we invest in training and education, but Spider Holster is an investment in the most important aspect of our lives..our health.

My Spider Holster has saved my back, neck and shoulders from the stresses of over 600 weddings and countless other shoots, its so easy to use,its comfortable and they last forever. Invest in your health and get a Spider Holster, you’ll thank me in 10 years!"
