Like the way this is made . Should last a long time.
Pros
  • Quality materials . Fits remote great . Like the snap to attach to my vest .

  • A little work to get it put on remote . But I think that is what makes it a good fit . So definitely not a deal breaker

Control access

Love everything except the access to the control dial which is difficult to see when both loops are attached.

They hit the target 100% when they designed this holster.

I have used my holster in the field about a dozen times now. They hit the nail on the head and thought of everything when they designed this. Heavy duty and great quality material.

Great Holster!!
September 17, 2025
I made a $400 mistake last year not having a good holster for my 550 pro plus. This year I have this holster and an Apple Air tag on it. The only improvement would be to have the ability to have a small pocket to slip an Air tag into the actual holster. I have recommended it already 10 or 15 times!!
Pros
  • Has great access to all of the buttons on the controler
Cons
  • I would like to have a way to add an Apple air tag in from the back of the controller and it would keep the outside of the holster streamlined.

Easy, Secure Access to Garmin Pro 550 Plus
December 16, 2024
This holster gives me easy access to my Garmin Pro 550 Plus, and hangs on a D-ring on my vest. Having the added strap that attaches directly to the unit is peace of mind that I won’t lose the receiver if the holster breaks. I don’t anticipate the holster breaking, it’s been very durable, but having added security is what made me choose this option.
Pros
  • Durable, quality materials, and the additional strap that secures the receiver to protect your investment
Cons
  • The only con is the limited access to the power button on the Pro 550 Plus. But, I turn the receiver on before pulling the cord over the bottom of the unit. I

Functional but one gripe
December 1, 2024
This product works really well and I’m very happy with it. Fits my garmin pro 550 plus perfectly- you can tell this holster was designed for this receiver specifically. Everything is very secure and the hardware seems to be of heavy good quality. If I have to nitpick, my one gripe is that with the holster on, you cannot press the power button on the garmin without peeling the holster aside to access the power button. This is easily done and only a minor inconvenience but it’s my only callout about the product. Very happy with the holster and would recommend to a friend.
Pros
  • Ease of use
  • Quality
  • Hardware
  • Materials
  • Functionality
Cons
  • Power button access

Works well
October 9, 2024
The cover keeps the control handy, and all the buttons accessible. The power button is a little hard to get to, but it’s comforting, knowing the unit is secure when you’re hunting.

Pros

Makes my Pro 550 more accessible and more secure.
January 28, 2024
This holster can be attached to my belt loop, my vest, or my coat making my Pro 550 easy to use both for tracking and for correction. It also holds my Pro 550 securely so that it is not lost while walking fields. This holster was designed and manufactured by Gun Dog Supply and the quality and function shows it.
Pros
  • Makes my Pro 550 easily accessible and more secure. The high vis blaze orange trim makes it more easily fond if lost in the field.
Cons
  • none

Excellent Product.

Cons

Great Product
December 5, 2023
We all know how expensive these items are and if you’ve done this long you have dropped one in the field. This product is very well made and will last a long time! I really like being able to clasp it to the front of my vest and be confident it will be there when I reach for it. Being able to unhook it and use as a hand held is a very nice feature. Being able to charge without removing the case only makes sense. I highly recommend this product!

550 Plus Holster
November 11, 2023
This is a nice holster and the materials look and feel like a product that will wear well and last a long time. The nylon is orange and easy to spot and I appreciate that as well. It’s easy to put on and fits well over the transmitter. I do have a couple of pieces of constructive criticism for the product. 1. The holster covers up the power button on the Garmin. Not a huge deal but you have to pull the holster back away from the transmitter to access the power button which is a minor design flaw. 2. The 550 plus is a bigger transmitter and this holster and buckle are as well so you will need to figure out where to attach to your equipment when you are actually hunting in the field. I attach mine directly to my Wing Works vest which works great. The transmitter combined with the holster would be too heavy and large to strap to the belt loop of your pants as sometimes advertised. I also would have liked a lanyard like strap to come with the holster. Just my opinion but i would recommend and buy this product again. Happy hunting
Pros
  • Materials, fit, easy application
Cons
  • Holster covers up power button. A bit heavy to strap to your belt loop but that not the holsters issue. Should of come with a lanyard

Just what I needed!
October 19, 2023
No more having to have the transmitter hanging around my neck. I just clip it to my vest or hunting coat and it stays out of the way but accessible when needed. Great design and well built I highly recommend this product.

We love them! Very easy to use. With the extra strap it will be very difficult for us to lose another one of our controls. Thank you Gun Dog Supply! Bearpoint Kennel

Pro 550 Plus Transmitter Holster
April 25, 2023
I first purchased the Garmin Pro 550 Plus and found that I needed a holster to carry the transmitter. I found one leather holster but did not want to pay what the company was asking for their holster. I found your product ( which was more reasonable ) and purchased it.
Pros
  • Well made and light weight. It also was made with some blaze orange which will make it easier to see if you should drop it in cover.
Cons
  • none

you can actually see the full screen. A leather holster that I had to hold a 550 covered symbol that showed your dog was on point.

Good product
January 5, 2023
Have used it in the field about eight times. Seems well-made but time will tell if it holds up to the demands of hard Upland hunting. Fit the product well and seems to hold it securely. Made in America was nice. I thought it was a little high priced for what you actually got.
Pros
  • Sturdy. Light weight. Quality snap.
Cons
  • High Price. It is a 400 dollar unit so 35 to holster it is probably worth it.

Pro 550 plus Transmitter Holster
December 20, 2022
Holster is just as pictured. I watched the video for install on my transmitter and it was helpful. This product is well made and should endure punishment from the thickets where the birds hangout while protecting the transmitter.
Pros
  • I like the handiness of the snap connector .
Cons
  • The on off button is somewhat blocked by the holster.
By Tim

Great product
November 9, 2022
Went from the pro 550 to the pro 550 plus. Took a little bit to get used to the gps but once I did love it.I paired it was a garmin instinct in my opinion it’s a must.Great collar very happy I bought it.
Pros
  • Ability to find dogs in very thick cover.
Cons
  • Only con I can see is the point modes seem a bit slow to notify you.
By Thom

well designed and executed
October 16, 2022
I would purchase this item again. The design covers the applications and leaves the Pro 500 Plus easily accessible. High visibility and durability are two more of the desired features.
Pros
  • A well executed design.
Cons
  • Haven't used it enough in the real thick stuff.
By Lance

Love it!!
October 12, 2022
Have had a few leather holsters for my 550 and they have worked great, but this new design is way better. I love the visibility on the holster as well as the fact it secures in two places, so there should never be a reason it ever could become detached while out hunting. Great product!!

GDS pro 550 plus transmitter holster great product
October 7, 2022
Works as expected. Good fit. Maybe have pictures or description how to use strap at bottom to secure transmitter to cover.
Pros
  • Hooks to your clothes. Doesnt obstruct use or view of the transmitter. Heavy duty construction
Cons
  • Would like to see it made with a bit of elasticity for even snugger fit around the opening.
By Phil T.

Great holster!
October 7, 2022
Lightweight but made out of durable material. The swivel snap is nice so you can face the 550 plus screen towards you while walking through brush to protect buttons and screen but if needed when you grab it to use you can easily turn to you for quick use.
Pros
  • All pros so far
