If you're a Spider user and haven't received an e-mail yet, be aware that they are seeing excessive wear on the holster, which may allow your camera to work free and come crashing down off your belt. More details here:

I don't use the spider, but this seems like classy behaviour to me. Warn customers of excessive wear, which is indicative of a design flaw, and then suggest that users might want to 'upgrade'...

Not to mention that the "upgrade" involves the user disassembling and reassembling the holster using a mix of old and upgraded parts.

This kind of looks like a stupid accessory, I would never use my camera without some sort of strap. I could totally see myself dropping the camera trying to get it out of the holster.

I've seen people use them and it looked pretty good but I have never tried it myself.

Does anyone have one, and has any feedback on it?

I saw an old friend using one all night at an event we did and he rocked it out really well. I'm tempted to get one
