" The Spider Holster has taken a literal weight off of my shoulders!
After years of using a dual camera leather harness, I noticed my posture had become slumped and my shoulders were noticeably rolling forward. My chiropractor said the harness was largely to blame, and my shoulders were overcompensating for the weight.
On the recommendation of several industry friends, I tested the Spider Holster. It has not only saved me from chronic back and shoulder pain but has also allowed me much more freedom of movement. No more holding on to my cameras to prevent them from swinging around, or hitting the ground when I bend down.
It's also stylish and works well with various outfits, making it one of my absolute favorite items in my gear bag. - Lauren O'Brien
