An interesting way of carrying your cameras, especially if you’ve ever wanted to walk up to a client with the spaghetti western music playing in the background. Seriously though aside from the not so fashionable belt I can see how this could be a comfortable way to carry cameras during events and weddings. The SpiderPro Kit that will carry one prosumer or one pro camera runs $110 and comes with the $85 Spider Holster, $7 Pin, $30 Belt, and $25 mounting plate (sold separately). The dual holster kit that will allow you to carry two cameras runs $160.
No hands on testing but looking at the system the few things I can see is that the belt is almost a must buy add-on due to the weight from a decent camera and a decent lens (D3 with a 70-200 2.8 for example) would be quite heavy. You probably wouldn’t want to just sit down with your cameras hanging this low as well as a few other situations where having your cameras on your waist can be troublesome. All that aside from the fashion factor that is obviously lacking (mainly the belt) the system looks like it could be a more comfortable way to carry gear.
