Spider Black Widow vs. Capture Clip (for a mirrorless setup)

Hi all,
Looking for anyone with experience with either of these two setups. I have the Spider Pro system (single) which I use for a dSLR setup. However, I'll be taking a much lighter setup (Fuji X-20 w/18-55) to Disney this August. As the wife and I will be wrangling strollers, kids, diaper bags, etc..., I'm looking into a system like these to keep the camera handy.
Owning the Spider Pro, I'm familiar with the "feel" of the system, and so I assume that the Black Widow is just a scaled down version that I will use my own belt for. The Capture Clip seems interesting as it can be secured to any sort of strap, whether it be a backpack strap or belt.
As these two options basically do the same thing (and from reviews, do them well), my question is about comfort. Either option will be attached to my belt, so I'm trying to figure out which one will be the least obtrusive for walking around crowded amusement parks.
Thanks for any insight or personal experience anyone has.

Here is my take.

Black Widow is a scaled down version of the SpiderPro setup. However, the materials from the Black Widow holster is plastic. There is no plate also. It is just a pin. It is lighter and it stays closer to your body. I have one that was barely used and will be selling it. - http://www.1kindphotog​raphy.com …ster-black-widow-kit.html

For Capture, it's much sturdier than the Black Widow. However, your camera will stick out. If you're going to Disney, this will stick out and bump into people especially its Peak time and will be crowded. Yes, like you said, you can attach it to your backpack strap if needed - http://www.1kindphotog​raphy.com …a-clip-v2-capturepro.html

But you're in luck. Back in October 2016, Spider Holster launched a Kickstarter campaign for the SpiderLight Holster. This is a mini-me version of the SpiderPro. Since you're familiar with the Pro version, this will feel right at home. I met up with Spider Holster and I got one of their units to review before the KS campaign ended. The unit I received was the preproduction model which worked exceptionally well. - http://www.1kindphotog​raphy.com …em-holster-and-plate.html

Here is a overview video of the new SpiderLight as well as a comparison of the Black Widow and Pro version.



I just received the SpiderLight Backpacker Kit and just posted a unboxing and overview of it yesterday. Full review of it coming today:



I'm actually going to DisneyWorld mid-April and I just got a Canon M5. So I'll be taking that with me instead of my 5D Mark IV. I'm deciding on what to bring; should I bring a SpiderLight or just stick with the Peak Design Sling Strap.

Hmm, that Spiderlite system looks pretty solid. I'm starting to lean in that direction. If I were a hiker who would/could benefit from attaching the capture clip to the backpack strap, I think it'd be a no-brainer, but I'm not, so that feature wouldn't be to useful for me. 100% of the time it'll be on my belt.

As you already know, the Spider setup has your camera hanging upside down. With the Peak Design, you can mount it on your belt but the top of your camera would be facing out and the lens facing down. Good thing about the Peak Design plates is that you can rotate it since its a square. So you can have the lens facing backwards, forward and even up which is great for swapping lenses without having to hold the camera. Peak Design sells a ProPad to help with comfort and protection as well.

lowepro ILC50

basically my goto bag when I go out with a simple small kit, the A7rii + FE35. You should be able to fit your camera in that bag, which should give you some protection on the rides (water and padding). Clip the bag to your belt.

I'm actually going to bring my newly purchased Canon M5 with 22mm f2 and 11-22 with me and will be using the Peak Design Range Pouch (http://www.1kindphotog​raphy.com …e-pouch-lens-holster.html)

I'm hoping it fits in the Medium but I have a feeling I will have to go Large. My G1 X Mark II fit in the Medium and that just barely fit. If not, I will take a look at the Lowepro. Thanks.

if you need a lens and body + lens, you might as well go think tank skin body bag. It will fit that sorta thing. Even lowepro utility bag will work, however I like think tank's design better, minimal bulk/padding.

Yea, I forgot about ThinkTank. I'm looking at their Mirrorless Mover and the Urban Approach.

The Capture Clip will also work well on any of these bags (attaching it to the strap).
