Other than the Spyder system can anyone recommend a belt mounted quick draw holster system for a DSLR ? I only need one camera belt mounted
 
I looked at them a while back and a mate tried one. They seem to suffer from two "flaws" from my point of view. One is if you have a long lens on and kneel down the camera can unclip itself if the lens touches the floor. The second and more worrying is if it's quick and easy to unclip, it's quick and easy to steal.
One other factor I wasn't totally happy about is most use the tripod mount, this is fine except not all tripod mounts are equal, I've seen one ripped out of the bottom of a camera. That "mount" was held to the camera chassis with three tiny grub screws, not molded into the chassis itself.

I looked at hosters and decided that for best protection, a Tenba "BYOB" in a messenger bag was the greatest way to have easy access to a camera while also protecting it at the same time.

It's a holster im after . I'm a wedding photographer with a bad back so I think it's my best option . There just doesn't seem to be many options

It's for weddings so not overly worried about theft . I see the peak design one won't unclip until you press a button on it but was just wondering if there are any others I'm missing . I think the PD one might be my best bet
