The Spider X Backpacker Kit is a strap-mounted camera carry system designed to keep your mirrorless or lightweight DSLR secure, accessible, and ready to shoot. Mounted directly onto your backpack strap or belt, it provides a strap-free carrying solution that keeps your hands free while maintaining fast access to your camera.

At the core of the system is a dual-position locking holster paired with a Spider Mirrorless Camera Plate. The plate attaches to your camera’s 1/4"-20 tripod mount and incorporates anti-slip and anti-twist features to ensure a stable connection. The holster allows you to choose between a secure lock mode or a quick-draw setting, depending on your shooting style.

Constructed from durable, weather-resistant nylon composite, the system is built for use across a range of environments—from urban shooting to long days on the trail.

Who this is for

Photographers who carry a backpack and want fast, secure access to their camera without using a neck or shoulder strap.

How it works

The included camera plate attaches to your camera via the standard 1/4"-20 mount and remains in place for everyday use. Its Arca-Swiss compatible profile means it can also be mounted directly onto compatible tripod heads without removal.

The holster mounts to your backpack strap or belt using the included adapter. Once connected, your camera slides into the holster and locks automatically. You can set it to a secure mode for maximum retention or a quick-draw mode for faster access.

A built-in ball-joint allows natural movement, so the camera sits comfortably against your body rather than rigidly fixed. To shoot, simply rotate and lift the camera free in one smooth motion.

Why choose this product

Carrying a camera on a backpack strap can be uncomfortable or unstable with basic clips. This system is designed to solve that, offering a secure locking mechanism, balanced positioning, and fast access when you need it.

The Arca-Swiss compatibility also removes the need to swap plates when moving to a tripod, helping streamline your workflow in the field.
