I just got a Fuji XT-10 and I wanted to try this out, but is it really easy enough to use on a belt?

The Spider Holster Black Widow is OK. It will hold your camera fine but majority of the construction is made of durable plastic. It is a little bit more bulkier in terms of width compared to their SpiderLight holster. The SpiderLight holster is made or metal and is a mini-me version of the bigger Spider Holster Pro. Of course, better materials means it costs more.

Here is a quick overview video of the SpiderLight holster.

I personally have never been in favor of a belt mounted carrier for a DSLR. Maybe it is just me, but I just think it is too much weight for something sensitive which gets shocked every step you take. Having said that I do use a black widow holster for items that can take a constant pounding as I walk.

For your particular camera which is lighter and thinner than DSLR's, I'd go with Peak Design Capture, instead:

I used to have this as well as BW Holster but ended up selling the Capture because it doesn't really work well with heavy gear like my 5DIII and 24-70L brick. If I had a light mirrorless camera, I'd have preferred to use the Capture as opposed to the BW Holster.

One advantage the Capture has over the BW Holster is that you can attach the Capture to just about anything that has a strap: your belt, backpack, etc.
