Sorry if this is a repeated question but I’m new on here & this perhaps is a bit different question.
Does anyone have experience adding drink bottle holders onto shoulder straps of Camelbak hydration packs ? Will Raidlight Bottle Holder fit on shoulder strap & be stable, won’t bounce or lose bottle on rough tracks ?

Salomon custom holder is another option but looks like it just has one clip / strap so I’m concerned it will move around.
I use a Camelbak MULE to carry the compulsory equipment on mountain run section of multisport races here in New Zealand. I use bladder for some but others like the Coast to Coast race we’re frequently crossing streams so don’t use bladder, instead each time cross a stream scoop hands to drink, dipping a cup or bottle. I prefer a bottle over cup as I know how much I’m drinking & can drink between rivers. The terrain is not easy trail though, it’s rough so any bottle holder needs to use so don’t get distracted and trip over. Also needs to hold securely so don’t lose the bottle.
Here’s a video of a rougher section of the course

Have considered some waist belts but concerned they will be uncomfortable wearing both backpack and waist belt.
Any thoughts & particularly experience comments appreciated
