Why and watch out for what?
I have run, with these. They are stable and control the kit.
I don’t use a strap anymore, but I am sure any amount of gear on a strap will swing around and possibly hit things in it's proximate position
When the camera is in the holster it doesn’t (and can’t) swing around.
Making better to run with.
Been using these for about 7 years.
Never dropped or damaged anything.
The gear is locked into the holsters.
You need to release a lever to be able to remove the camera from it.
I broke my neck, in 1996, when a 700 pound machine fell on top of me.
I have had multiple spine surgeries.
And have spent almost a year with a halo collar screwed to my skull.
In addition, I have extensive “hardware”, plates, screws and wires on five levels, in my neck.
The surgery that saved me from paralysis was a five level circumferential corpectomy
Using a camera strap was and is out of the question, because of the intense chronic pain I live with in the neck and back.
The holsters made it possible to carry gear with only a little extra pain.
As far as holsters are concerned, I have tried them all, after starting with the spider holster.
The best (for me) holsters that I use all day, everyday, are the promediagear SH-1’s. I have a lot of them. I always have two on my belt. See the photos I previously posted a few messages back.
What makes them better for me, is that they are much slimmer (lower profile) than the others, including Spider’s.
So, they are less bulky under a shirt, or when I am not carrying a camera.
And they are strong and reassuring to me.
I carry my Z9 in the holster all day long, regardless of where I am.
I want it handy all of the time.
And I get great conversations, with doctors and dentists, passer by’s, concert goers, etc, when I come in with the camera, mounted on my belt.
According to the army, a person can carry more weight for longer time, on their waist, compared to the neck/back.
Lastly, I tell my friends, if you ever see me without my camera, please, call the police, I have been robbed.
