I've been using the SpiderHolster for the last year and love it! I do a lot of walking at the Rolex24 at Daytona and Sebring 12Hours and it has made it much more comfortable walking the literal miles during those two events alone!

I personally like this dual camera harness set up in the single camera configuration- check out the video demonstraion on the various configurations - the yoke is a real pain saver,

Well, I've just acquired a Bronica ETRSi outfit, the body "box", the auto exposure prism AE II, 50mm, 75mm, 150mm lenses, two film backs, the Polaroid back, and the "motor" drive. Love the big negative! But...the camera with prism, a lens, and the motor mounted weighs just over FIVE POUNDS! And I thought my Pentax 645n was heavy....

Any suggestions for a neck strap which will keep me from becoming the hunchback of Jonesboro, Georgia?? I use a Black Rapid with my Pentax K 5 with battery pack, but I don't know whether the tripod socket on the Bronnie's motor drive could handle the weight.

That's the one I use for my extra body at sporting events. I got mine from B&H.

For you women out there, please note that both Joby and BlackRapid both make over the shoulder straps that are curved so that the front side of the strap goes down the center of the chest that will make carrying a heavy cameras much more comfortable for women.

As I shoot with my Kit lens - a 18-55 & 100-300- on a serious photo trip I shoot with 2 Canon Rebels - a Xti and a T3i- this configuration can get heavy on a long trek and works quite well with just one camera.
