SPIDER HOLSTER – SpiderPro Mirrorless Camera Plate for Any Spider Camera Holster with Universal Tripod Compatibility and Secure Anti-Twist Spider Pin – Does Not Block Battery Door Access

It fits well with my X-T2 and battery grip. For slimmer cameras, this works well. For camera that are thicker, you may want to research if the DSLR version will work better.

They make good stuff. Installed in my 70-200 lens. Easy to hang the camera and lens on my spider belt.

I ended up getting this after watching several reviews. Initially, I'd purchased the cheaper version of this meant for point and shoot cameras. When I got the Black Widow holster, I found that the holster itself is a little bit clunky, and while it definitely does its job well, it's not quite as minimal as I'd expected. This isn't a knock on this purchase, however. The Black Widow holster itself came with a pin to screw into the tripod mount in my camera, which also worked as intended. The problem was that what I was looking for was something minimal yet also gave me the added functionality to mount and dismount from the tripod while giving me the ability to holster the camera at my hip when I need my hands free. I'm not a professional photographer, however, and only use this when I'm sightseeing, so it isn't of the upmost importance to get 'the complete system'. However, to keep things a little bit more discreet and easy to take on and off, I'm most likely going to end up upgrading from the Black Widow holster to the Spiderlight holster.That being said, the spiderlight plate was the perfect solution for what I wanted. I purchased this along with a quick-release clamp and use both with my Ultrapod as seen in the photos. As you can see, I'm rocking a Canon EOS M6 with a Rokinon 12mm lens.For most lenses, this gives me zero issues with the fit. It does stick out a little bit, but I'm not worried about that. However, I have two adapters I use for my EF lenses. One of these adapters is a Viltrox M2 speedbooster adapter that lets me allows me to use full frame lenses while retaining almost the same field of view as a full frame sensor. The speedbooster, however, has a tripod attachment on the bottom and it juts out enough that the Spiderlight plate stops the speedbooster from locking into the camera mount. At first I tried to remove the seemingly detachable tripod mount from the speedbooster, but it feels as though the screws may have been glued on the inside. Even if they weren't, I decided I'd rather find another solution than stripping the screws. So looking at the bottom of the Spiderlight plate, I saw two tiny black screws that were stopping the plate itself from being able to be moved back a tiny bit more on the camera. Once those screws were removed (I saw no purpose for them. They weren't holding anything down) I was able to slide the plate back just enough that the speedbooster had enough clearance to lock shut.Other than that I've had zero issues with this, and while it indeed does work fine with the Black Widow holster, I'm going to eventually upgrade to the Spiderlight holster and will likely move the Black Widow holster to a backpack of my patrol belt for times I wish to take my camera with me to work.

I bought this plate along with the holster after watching a ton of positive reviews. The entire system is very easy to use and works great. My one minor complaint is that I wish the mounting screw that attaches the plate to the lens bracket was a bit longer. I am uncomfortable that only 3-4 mm of the tread actually grabs a very heavy lens and camera. Using it with my Nikon D850 + either 70 to 200 f2.8 or 200 to 500 f5.6. The later is quite heavy but still manageable. Will probably try to find a longer screw as there is plenty of thread in the lens bracket.

I use two totally different cameras (Fuji GFX 100s & Canon R5) and wanted a solution that worked with my cameras interchangeably. With l-brackets on both cameras and the R5 with a battery pack, this arca-Swiss clamp is just want I needed. Solidly made. Holds tightly. Dual posts are nice for dual camera (L/R) usage. Also, as you see in the image, I use a CamRanger 2 for wireless transfers to my iPad Pro from the GFX. The dual post is a must even for one camera when the CamRanger 2 is mounted in the l-bracket. Love this rig for portrait sessions!!Note: This is bulkier than the traditional clamp. This will make storage in your bag a bit more challenging but still workable.Excellent product…premium quality at a premium price. Would purchase again even at the price.

I've used Spider belts and adapter plates for well over a decade in my photography business and have been very happy with their gear. Recently I needed another DSLR plate for a 7th Canon camera and went to my order history to reorder.The plate arrived and only then did I realize the original version is no longer available. The V2 version is wider, slimmer, and has rubber anti-slip pads on the back of the plate. While this sounds great on paper in actual use I've found anything with rubber pads to be impractical as the pads will distort especially when using in portrait mode on a monopod. If the plate does not fit flush to your camera no amount of rubber will overcome the natural rotation of the camera+lens due to gravity. After only 8 hours of onsite shooting the rubber feet will tear itself apart due to the constant rotation and adjustment needed to keep the plate flush to the camera or battery grip base. I've used V1 for years and have never had to constantly readjust the plate to counter the rotation. V1 fit all my cameras like a glove so no rubber pad was ever needed. Last, the spring used to keep the allen key is also weaker as well.That's too bad, I really liked version 1 which fit like a glove to all my cameras. I wish it was still available.SPIDER HOLSTER – SpiderPro DSLR Camera Plate for Any Spider Camera Holster Constructed from Durable Stainless Steel & Aluminum with Anti-Slip Pads – 1/4" x20 Mounts for Any Tripod Adapter Plate
