SpiderPro Lens Collar Plate v2

I was kinda skeptical to make the purchase because it’s a bit costly, but I don’t regret it for a second when I realized how practical and easier it makes my life. I was missing part of the order, which, hey it happens, but not only did they respond very quickly, but were able to get my missing parts out to me within a couple of days without any back and forth or issues which I truly appreciate! Customer service is outstanding. Very happy with my purchase.

306: SpiderPro Lens Collar Plate v2

Terrific product - simply love it! Spares my arm and hand muscles superbly, allowing me to go walk-about all day with my Nikon Z9 and Z600 mm f6.3 VR prime lens with the weight hanging off my Spider Holster waist belt. I baulked at the price initially, but this buy has been well worth it. No regrets with this purchase! Would heartily recommend it!!

Works for my Nikon Z9 with the 500 mm of lens.

I started running this holster system for motorsports photography and I absolutely love it. I had to get another plate for my 100-300 RF lens to add it to the arsenal. Thanks Spider Holster!

I had a very old holster that I used with a different belt and found out that I ordered the wrong product. They were very helpful in getting me straightened out. An excellent company with excellent products.

This is the most comfortable way I've found to carry my camera during long treks. It takes all the stress of of my hand and arm.

Perfect. Very solid and precise fitment. Very happy with this plate.

This works perfectly with my RF 70-200. I used to run into issues hooking my camera into the holster when relying solely on the under-body plate, but mounting the plate directly to the lens has completely solved that problem. It locks in smooth, sits balanced, and makes on-the-go shooting way more efficient. Total game-changer for anyone using heavier glass.

Works great, might need another one.

I have two large lenses. Having this plate is great with the camera holster but also for use with my tripod or monopod. Because of the rear lip, this will not come loose easily like a standard plate. Bonus, the wrench you need to tighten it with stays inside the plate for easy access and without getting lost in my bag. My only regret is not getting a Spider Camera Holster sooner.

Having owned and used multiple DSLR carrying systems, this Spider, hip belt and holster can only be described as an awesome piece of kit, even similar systems cannot hold a candle to this effortless carry, even my Nikon D850 with accessory battery grip and 70-200 f2.8 lens attached becomes manageable for a full day out, I only wish that I’d invested in it years ago.

Works just as described on my Canon R5 and R6. Use it with my Spider Holster. Made with quality materials. I use it with my holster 2 to 3 days a week on my Zoo walks in San Diego. Supports my Canon 100-400mm and 70-200mm lenses.

This makes carrying my 600mm lens so easy. Saves a sorry neck/back. Wonderful products.

Like it, working around is excellent. Maybe a little far from hip for hiking,
Still working on how and when I will rely on same.
Keep Safe! Ken

Worked well with my 100-400

Lens Collar Plate v2

The collar plate v2 is really good would be nice to have a setup like what’s on the camera body collar which has the mount that screws into the tripod mount on the camera but also has the mount to then screw a tripod plate into the collar without removing it from the body

Once again, there is no perfect solution but I definitely think this is worthy of consideration if you are looking into make the SpiderPro Holster part of your carry system. I currently have this mounted on my original foot that came with my Nikkor Z 70-200 lens. I also have a RRS replacement foot that I use in conjunction with a QD sling. When the 70-200 is used as my secondary lens instead of primary, I use this Lens Collar Plate in conjunction with a SpiderPro Holster on my left hip. Having the Arca-Swiss compatibility is key for me and the way the included Allen key is secured is a well thought out touch as well. Is it as clean and minimal as having a replacement Arca compatible foot? No. Do I also wish that they offered it in black so that it blended in better with the rest of my gear? Sure. But overall, it's a well-designed piece of gear that does the job I need it too.

Lens Collar Plate v2

Saw another photographer with the Spider equipment and asked him about it. Have had for about 2 weeks now and very happy with equipment It allows me to either carry extra camera or extra lens with ease and quick access

I like this plate even better than the original lens collar before the redesign. This one is longer and has the built-in Allen Wrench. The older plate is still great and serves as my plate for my RP. It's the perfect size to still be able to holster my camera and keep the battery/memory card door open for easy access. The new Lens Collar Plate is definitely an improvement on the already/still awesome former version. I would totally recommend!

Lens Collar Plate v2

Great holster! no worries as i can walk with a pace or sit-down with the camera without second thoughts.

A lens collar plate was just what I needed for carrying my camera with a 70-200 lens during wedding shoots.

Would have been 5-stars but for the Spider website not making it clear that a lens collar plate was included in the Double Spider Pro holster that I ordered the day before so I spent over $50 on something I really didn’t need.

This collar plate when properly attached is exactly what is needed to balance a larger lens (in my case 70-200) and camera body (1DX) safely on on the spider belt. The gear is balanced and feels secure on my hip. I tried the attachment that goes on the bottom of the camera body once with this particular set up and I abandoned that immediately. Aside from the gear swinging awkwardly I was not comfortable with the stress on the attachment point of the lens to the bayonet of the camera body.
This is not really an issue with smaller lenses and bodies. I never really thought about it with the weight of smaller pro gear I use in the studio where my camera is always on my spider belt.

I don’t go out in the field without my spider belt now that I have this new plate for the 70-200. When shooting sports I now have a secure and easier way to carry 2 or three cameras with me. With a 1Dx and 300 mm lens on a monopod i no longer have to worry about the 70-200 set up swinging awkwardly from my shoulder going up and down the sidelines. The collar plate allows me to kneel down and not worry the lens hood will crash into the ground.

The added genius of the plate being ARCA compatible there is no need to remove it ever.
It’s all about the balance and this does the job.

Whoever came up with the built in holder for the Allen key deserves a raise! Love it on the original and spreading the love here!

I've carried my Canon 100-400mm vII for hundreds of miles in the last couple of years using the original version. I wished that the ArcaSwiss part were longer because it barely fit in the clamp and I wished it had an allen wrench onboard. Version 2 solves both problems making it the perfect way to carry my long lens.

Fits perfectly under the tripod clamp and the camera is very well balanced. This of course takes the strain off the camera bayonet. Since the bracket is ARCA compatible, the camera fits any standard tripod head without any problems. A great investment!

I found this collar to be more helpful then the singe one

It worked fine

This is the missing link on my holster kit. Carrying the bigger lenses was a problem but now I have even more freedom of movement!
