I use the I plate version on my OM-5 for a light kit. I don't use it with a tripod or capture clip.
Comfort / usability: great. Super comfortable. I was worried it would slow me down in manual modes but it doesn't. I just keep my index finger free and only put my 3rd/4th fingers in the strap. It has a nice amount of cushion and flex.
OM-5 fit: I plate fits great. Doesn't block the screen or SD card access. Does block the battery access but the included tool is really smart and convenient.
Highly recommend for OM-5 users who want a light kit.
Mine arrived yesterday and I installed it on the camera right away. I wanted it to help me grip and shoot my smaller camera with more ease and it accomplishes just that. I now have the option of shooting/framing confidently with one hand.
My E-PL7 was likely designed for smaller hands than mine and I had to cradle the camera with my left hand in order to shoot/frame subjects with my right. The micro- clutch helps with small cameras in a huge way. Haven't tried it on my larger a7C but have been using the full size hand clutch with that.
Installation was easy. The clever and well designed embedded tool is a helpful sweet addition I didn't know about when ordering. Build quality is very nice and it maintains the small profile of camera.
I bought a Micro Clutch on Kickstarter, before they were available and I wasn't disappointed. It has a quality feel to it, and the (slight) intricacy of fitting the strap added to the interest and enjoyment of installing the thing. It fitted my Fujifilm X100V very nicely, but when I exchange the V for a VI the plate sits further forward on the base of the camera because the tripod hole is closer to the lens by a few millimetres. I'll see if my son wants it for his Leica Q2. I also have a L plate for my Fujifilm X-T5 and that is also a delight to use.
I purchased the Micro Clutch with an I plate for my Hasselblad X2D and I love it! I never thought such a small form factor of a grip would handle a medium format mirrorless camera. I highly recommend the clutch!
Really easy to attach and adjust. Gives a really secure grip. Lots of people complain about it covering the battery compartment, but with the included magnetic tool it's really quick to get in and out of. It would definitely be improved if it doubled as an arca plate, or had a 1/4-20 machined into it to accept a plate. I hate to have to carry too much small, easily lost hardware with me to be able to install the included plate.
I have weak hands. I need that extra strap to hold the camera one-handed. It keeps me secure, it's soft and flexible so it feels comfortable and doesn't bulk up my camera when I'm trying to cram just one more accessory in the bag. The only drawback is that you need to remove it to change batteries.
I bought the Micro Clutch when it first came out for my Fuji X-T4 and I love it, it makes the camera much more comfortable and secure to hold. I'm not giving it 5 stars because I bought another copy for my Fuji X100VI but it doesn't fit since Fuji moved the 1/4-20 mount.
I'd love to use my Micro Clutch with the X100VI but I can't, I suggest PD to develop a new version that allows to to slide the screw forwards and backwards so we can fit it in more cameras like this one. I will buy a new copy as soon as it becomes available.
