I see there's a lot of love for the blackrapid straps in here but I don't remember seeing people talking about the spider holster very much. I just spent a week walking/semi-hiking for up to 5 miles a day carrying a 1d mk iv with either a 70-200 or a 100-400 using the spider belt and holster and it was awesome. I had to readjust it every few miles as you can obviously feel it drag you down to one side with around 3kg on it but compared to any other strap/system I've ever used it was amazing. Being able to grab it easily whilst also knowing it was rock solidly attached to your hip was great, and it not swaying around on a strap felt really good walking through rocky/potentially damaging areas. Although having that rock solid connection was not so great when deciding to sit on rocks and there's not much give, I have some severely scratched up lens hoods from repeated mistakes there. Combining it with a Domke F-3X shoulder bag for other lenses and general stuff also worked great as the domke is so low key and low weight. I'm sure I looked like a bit of a tit but I didn't give a gently caress, it felt great. Speaking of looking like a tit I've also just gotten a black rapid double strap for event work but haven't had a chance to use it yet.

I forgot to mention that I had a canon hand strap on the 1D the whole time and without that would have felt very much less secure. You also do have a point with lens changes, it took even more juggling than usual.

This is just random support for the Lowepro flipside 400aw, I've been using it as a go to smaller scale travel bag for probably a year now and it feels so incredibly secure when zipped up and strapped on. The waist straps feel pretty pointless though and the idea that you can strap it around your waist then just swing it around and use it like a little table for your kit feels really insecure the two times I tried it. You also look like a cock.
