Needing a Double shoulder harness!

Well my friends, I'm now needing a double shoulder harness! Preferably something like the black rapid quality! I do have a great trade item if someone is interested! I have a double spider holster setup! It's great for the pro doing people shoots! But I'm more into the critters big and small, and I need extra supports with my 80-400mm lens. Or frankly the holster setup works awesome and takes all that weight off your neck and back.
But I'm following advise from some buddies about this lens needs, and so shoulder harness is will be with an extra strap added to support the lens! :)

Anyway, I could really use the help here, and the Double Pro Spider Holster setup wasn't cheap. You can find the going prices by googling Spider holster. :)

Depending on how good your harness is, and what kind of shape it's in I may do a strait trade. But even if it's not worth a strait across trade, I'll still try to work with you if the double hardness will work for my needs until I can get a better one. :)

The Double Spider Holster is in great shape and hardly used. I forgot I had it, due to all the stress of my beloved's health issues.


Update!! :D

I will be using a combination of my black rapid shoulder strap, and one of my spider holsters! :)

So I'm no longer in need of the shoulder straps. Sorry. :(

I was just looking at my black rapid and then online at the black rapid double, and it looks like a double is just two black rapid sports hooked together using the under arm straps! Lol Well that might be the way to go for me, unless someone comes up with a better design. I still need to check out the cotton carrier version too.

Also now for the first time I'm realizing that I need a wide angle lens, to go with my 80-400mm in this double carry arrangement! I saw a couple shots I really wanted to get, but I couldn't without a wide angle lens!
This hobby seems to be a never ending need generator! Lol But I'm getting closer to my goals, so I can't complain! :)

I just looked at the cotton carriers double carry, and it looks cool! But it is very similar to the spider holster, and my spider holsters are strong metal attachments with a lock to keep your camera from being pushed out by accident. Though you can turn the lock off altogether if you feel like it.

No I think I'll need a double shoulder strap setup, even though it's a much cheaper setup than either the cotton carrier or the most expensive double pro spider holster.


On a side note, I might be able to combine the black rapid strap with the spider holster. Yes I will give that a try and see if that will make at least a good temporary solution. :)



i cannot help you with a trade, cotton carrier makes something that is worth looking at. I love mine.

Well now, this idea seems to work really well! I may stick with this combo! I'll have to try it for a while to be sure, but it seems to work better than I had hoped so far! :D

If you'd have chimed in just a short while ago, I would likely have went for it, even though there is a $100 difference in cost.
But I just tried this combining them together, and I'm really liking it! :)

Sorry buddy. :(

I will take the spider off you and give you both my rapids :) how does that sound?
