wow...holster looks really nice
You can wear the holster on your belt, a camera bag, or on the cotton carrier itself. It works well on my belt but I prefer to use it on the CC. It feels a little low when on the belt. But for a day out with just one camera and a short lens it's a good option.

Well how does running around like mad fit into your shooting style?
I ask this mainly because this is posted in the wedding forum. So do you find yourself sprinting often and need to make sure your camera doesn't move?
I played around with many straps and configurations. (i shoot 2 bodies always)
My final purchase was Camera Slingers, and it definitely takes the cake.
Awesome build quality, and materials, and definitely worth the price
Sprint to an area to get the shot, jump up on the ledge to get the angle, get it, decide you have more time. Then leap off of the ledge and run to the back of the crowd for the distant shot...

Yeah, but where is ksmahgrts going to put her wanker?
OT: Although considered less offensive in North America than in Britain, Australia, etc., the term "wanker" is not really suitable for wide usage in public. I use it here because it's already been used in this thread, although not correctly. It refers not to a part of the anatomy, but to one who engages in "the solitary vice that dare not speak its name."
A "wanker" is one who "wanks" or "wanks off." So when you ask, "Where is ksmahgrts going to put her wanker?" the most obvious answer would be, "Why don't you ask him?" The term is also used as a perjorative to refer to self-indulgent persons, or more generally to people who are simply being "royal pains." The equivalent Spanish term is puņetero.
Thus endeth the cross-cultural vocabulary lesson for the day.

Luckily most of the British and ex-Brits ignored this misuse of the word because the OP obviously didn't understand it's true meaning. I say 'obviously' because of the way he used it in his sentence
In essence, he was being a wanker for using the word in that way, as pointed out in the 'cross-cultural vocabulary lesson' above

I saw this displayed at Mystic~ looks similar but for your hips.

I looked at and considered this as well. It appears very well engineered and made. The reason I ended up going with the CC is the primary camera is positioned on your chest. And the second camera, if one is carried, is lower on one side of the torso. (you could actually carry 3 cameras if you wanted with the CC - one on the chest and two holsters.) I just prefer that to having cameras on my hips rubbing against my legs as I walk. The other thing I didn't like about the Spider was the huge metal connector that stays attached to the camera body. It reminds me of my old skateboard truck, if you know what that is. It seems like it might be awkward trying to weave your fingers through the 'legs' as you grasp the camera.
Like I said earlier - I looked at a lot of products before pulling the trigger on the CC. One of the factors that led to this decision was the almost unanimous positive reviews from both product reviewers as well as pro and amateur photogs. I will certainly follow up with a report on how it performs at an all-day wedding in a couple weeks.

I would look absolutely foolish in that thing
Not to be crass but the term over the shoulder boulder holder keeps popping in my head!
Hence the admission in my first post that I probably look like a total geek wearing it. (the sad thing is it probably has nothing to do with my actually wearing it!). Anyway, form definitely follows function in this case. My main concern was getting through a 10 hour day carrying two cameras and gear on my body. In reality though, how cool is one really going to look carrying two cameras around anyways.

Um... haha. I'll see what I can do. I just had a flashback to the other photog who recently posted pictures of himself wearing his tool belt/carabiner thingamabobber. Classic.
I've been looking at these as well, but not because I'm a wedding photographer (I'm not). The main reason I'm looking at this is because I ride motorcycles a lot (Goldwings, not dirt bikes) and trying to lug around a camera on a neck strap is - well, impossible. It hurts the neck and the camera keeps bouncing around off the gas tank which is not good. This looks to be one of the better solutions I've found so far. I will probably pull the trigger on one as soon as the weather warms up enough to start riding again!

I can tell you that this system is ideal for what you're looking for. You'll hardly know the camera is there and it will be easily and quickly accessible if you need to pull over to the side of the road for a quick shot of interesting road kill or something. And because your Goldwing probably has a nice big wind fairing on it you won't have to worry about bug splatters on your camera.
