Spider X Camera Holster
The Spider X Holster features a two-position, self-locking design for both security and quick access in any shooting situation. The holster will automatically lock when you pair it with one of our Spider Camera Plates or Spider Pins.
To unlock the holster, lift the lock lever upwards and remove your camera. For even faster access, you can disengage the lock by pressing the lock lever up until it clicks, it will remain unlocked until you push the lever back down into the self-locking position.
Keeping it in the “unlocked” position keeps your camera secure and easily accessible for a quick draw.
