SpiderLight Hand Strap launces on Kickstarter

Yesterday Spider Holster, the producers of professional camera holsters and strap accessories, launched their new product on Kickstarter, the SpiderLight Hand Strap. The SpiderLight Hand Strap is designed for use with mirrorless and small DSLR camera bodies. These new hand straps offer the convenience of carrying your camera for extended periods of time without the bulk and fatigue of a neck strap. Here's how.

 The SpiderLight Hand Strap brings all of the great features of our pro hand strap to the world of mirrorless and other smaller lightweight cameras.

The folks at Spider Holster know photographers don't want to be fumbling with their gear when shooting in action filled environments. So, the SpiderLight Hand Strap has an S-curve design that allows you to get your hand in and out quickly. This S-curve design also places your hand in the correct position to access all of your camera's controls. With the SpiderLight photographers can quickly release the strap from the camera or leave it on when attaching the camera to a tripod, which is a really nice touch. Many pro level hand straps can be either cumbersome or flimsy. The SpiderLight strikes a great balance. Its slim padded design provides strength and security without the bulk. With this hand strap you don't need to "hold" the camera. You can actually relax your hand and "let go". Of course this feels stra nge at first, but it allows the photographer to keep their camera available without putting it back in their bag.

Again, the SpiderLight is a professional grade hand strap designed for mirrorless and newer smaller DSLRs. It doesn't work well with pro "point & shoot" cameras like the Panasonic LX100. These camera's controls aren't in the same position as those of interchangeable lens cameras. It would be cool if Spider Holster made a hand strap for those cameras, but the body designs are probably too varied to make it practical. But if you are using one of the new small pro cameras check out the SpiderLight Kickstarter page. There are several pledge support options from a single SpiderLight to kits offering full integration with the Spider Holster's Pro line of strap and holster accessories.
