It's great for the price, but not as comfortable and polished as the real deal.
The metal hooks that go over your pants or belt are not comfortable and can dig into your body. I've also had issues with the second holster coming off the belt. I still use it for all my weddings and for the value it's great, but will probably invest in the "Real one" evetualy. It does feel amazing to take off at the end of a 12hr day! :)

one of my photographer asked about how did I like my set up and if I am worried about ...
I bought this because one of my rapid strap broke so I can't shoot with 2 cameras. I ordered this for replacement because I didn't want to spend that much on the spider holster. On my first day of use last Sunday, one of my photographer asked about how did I like my set up and if I am worried about it unbuckled and etc. I said, "I don't know, my first time using it." Literally, 15 minutes later while holding a light stand and walking, the buckle unbuckled. Luckily, the camera fell on the side and did not damage the camera or the lens besides a small mark. I had to use gaffer tape to hold the buckle button secure the rest of the day. It's a pain because when I sit in my car, I can't unbuckle or when I sit down to eat during dinner.Seriously, most people are using thousands of dollars worth of camera/lens. Why would you make you buckle so easy to unbuckled? Why not have a buckle plus a security button to push to unbuckled like you do with the camera? If they fix this, it's a solid waist holster. If you do own one right now, please use gaffer or duck tape to secure the bucket area.

Good quality for the price
Good quality for the price. I only photography few weddings a year and I wanted something to get my camera off my neck.

Works well but a bit heavy.
If you like to carry your camera and lens on your waist, this is not a bad alternative. At least it seemed to be working as expected. The position of the holster can be adjusted slightly in position only; they are basically on the opposite side of your hips. I think it will help a lot when shooting in events when you have no time to fiddle with the bags and with this you don't need camera straps. I only gave it 4 stars because it is a bit heavy. Having said that, once you put it on your waist, you don't feel the weight much any more.

it's hard to go wrong with this over the super expensive alternative
For the price, it's hard to go wrong with this over the super expensive alternative. However, DO NOT get this if you're using a heavy DSLR attached to it. It will not stay on your hip. But if you're using a lighter, mirrorless camera, for example, you will love it. Where the buckle attaches makes for a weird time getting it on, but once it's on, it's pretty well done.

This is a cheap, ILLEGAL knock-off of the original Spider Pro Camera Holster which belongs to Spider Holster USA. Hence, this knock-off does not function nearly as well as the original, does not include several design improvements made by Spider Holster USA since it originally came out almost eight years ago (such as the user-replaceable stainless steel insert that takes the majority of the friction wear from the pin sliding in and out of the unit over time, etc.). It is less expensive (knock-offs always are), but not nearly the quality of the original.

Unsafe spider belt
This is an average quality product, the clip on belt keeps on busting open and it’s dangerous because if you are holding an expensive camera equipment that could be the end of it. I won’t recommend using two cameras because of the weight and unsafe belt that keeps busting open. Also the screws that go on the camera base that attaches to the belt also won’t get enough tightness and will unscrew very easily

Broke quickly but quite functional
First one broke on the clasp/buckle after three uses. Going to give it another shot before I change my rating up to 5 or down to 1.
