Product Information
Full details
The SpiderPro Plate + Pin v2 is designed for professional photographers who frequently switch between cameras or need a reliable mounting solution for their DSLR with the Spider Holster system. Its key benefit is enabling quick and secure camera transitions, ensuring your camera is always ready. A minor consideration is that it requires an existing Spider Holster system for full functionality. This updated plate features enhanced ergonomics, rubber grips for better handling, and the new Spider Pin for a more secure connection.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the v2 plate over older versions?
The v2 features improved ergonomics, rubber grips for better handling, and the updated Spider Pin for enhanced security and compatibility with the holster.
Do I need a Spider Holster for this plate to work?
Yes, this plate is designed to integrate with the Spider Holster system. The plate itself attaches to your camera, and the holster (sold separately) is what attaches to your belt or bag and holds the camera via the plate.
Can I use this plate with any camera?
It is compatible with most DSLR and mirrorless cameras that have a standard 1/4x20 tripod mount. It's specifically designed for use with the Spider Pro Holster System.
How do I clean the plate?
You can clean the plate by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Will this plate work with my existing Spider Holster?
The SpiderPro Plate + Pin v2 is designed for the Spider Pro Holster System. If you have an older Pro holster, it should be compatible. Always refer to Spider Holster's compatibility charts for certainty.
Can I still attach my camera to a tripod with this plate on?
Yes, the plate includes standard 1/4x20 mounts that are compatible with virtually any tripod adapter plate.
Is the Spider Pin replaceable?
The Spider Pin is a critical part of the system and is designed for durability. While not typically user-replaceable, if you encounter an issue with the pin, contact Spider Holster support.
Troubleshooting
Plate feels loose on the camera
Ensure the 1/4x20 screw on the plate is fully tightened using a coin or screwdriver. Check that the camera's tripod mount is not damaged.
Camera does not securely lock into the Spider Holster
Verify that the Spider Pin on the plate is clean and free of obstruction. Ensure the plate is correctly aligned with the holster's locking mechanism. Check that you are using the correct Spider Holster system (Pro) for this plate.
Difficulty attaching tripod plates
Confirm you are using the standard 1/4x20 thread. Ensure no debris is present in the tripod mount threads on the plate.
