I'm using a L-shaped micro clutch on a Sony A7R2 and an I-shaped micro clutch on an old Contax RTS II.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Okay for Nikon Z50, but no-go with FTZ adapter

If you're a long time Nikon photographer, you've likely gone from F-mount to Z-mount lenses as you've transitioned to mirrorless. If you have, you likely have the FTZ mount that lets you use your old good F-mount lenses.
If you have the first version of the FTZ adapter, you can't use the Micro Clutch. Well, you can, but the tripod mount on the bottom of the FTZ adapter gets in the way of the tool that's in the Micro Clutch, so if you want to take your battery or SD card out, you need to take your lens off, take the Micro Clutch off, then get to your battery or SD card. That's a pretty crummy experience.
If you've got all Z-mount lenses then you're fine, but just watch out if you've got that first version of the FTZ adapter with the tripod mount on the bottom.
With a Z-mount lens on the Nikon Z50 the Micro Clutch is fine. It restricts your movement a bit, especially for getting to the front dial, but that's probably to be expected.
I will likely be putting my Micro Clutch on the shelf and just using a neck strap because I still have some F-mount lenses that I want to use.
Response from Peak DesignBy PD Team, PD Team, August 11, 2023
Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the frustration here! We're sorry to hear the micro clutch doesn't work with your set up as expected! We tried hard to accommodate as many makes and models as possible but unfortunately, there are a few out there that just don't quite work or require a little bit of a "hack" to work most optimally.
A suggestion from the design team on this would be to he buy a spare flat tool and either pocket it or drill a hole on the very end of the tool handle and put it on your keychain.

New gear protection
on August 5, 2023
Posted by: Bunny Dora
Peak Design Micro Clutch is my new camera protection. It's good for quickly grabbing a camera and taking shots without wearing a camera strap; sometimes, it makes my glasses fall, or it easily attaches the camera to a tripod and puts my camera back into the bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Micro Clutch Review
on August 6, 2023
Posted by: Taylor
I recently received my micro clutch, which I got as part of a Kickstarter campaign and I took it out shooting the day after, and for my use case, I really like it because I don't like straps as they hurt my neck and I think they inhibit my ability to shoot, but I didn't like free holding my camera, as I was worried that I would drop it. Enter the Micro Clutch. Once I got an idea of how the product was supposed to fit on my hand, I realized what a genius product it is!
I took a star off because I thought the installation instructions weren't as clear as they could be. They have since made a video and I did find the video to be very clear, so for us visual learners, watch that for installation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product! But missing one thing
on August 6, 2023

from West Des Moines, IA
I have been a regular Kickstarter supporter of MANY projects. Big and small, if I think it will benefit something that I currently own, I am on top of it. Yes, I have dropped my Sony A6000 one time and I said never again but needed something to assist in that theory. The Micro Clutch did just that. While it was a little tricky to get on for the first time, only because I dislocated my index and middle finger on my right hand, I somehow wish it came with one thing. The only thing that this was missing was a tightening key. A lot of camera products that I have purchased in the past had tightening keys. Even though you aren't supposed to over tighten them, and I understand that, it just would make it a little easier to have an accessory like that. Thankfully, I did have such an item from another previous Kickstarter campaign that worked perfectly, but the flat head part of the tool could have been smaller. But overall, this product does what it's supposed to do, prevent you from buying another camera because you are clumsy.

Great function and execution.

I like the function and execution of the Micro Clutch. The only downside is that it makes my Fujifilm X100s bulkier.
