I Clutch works great on Fuji X100

This is an excellent product, very well designed and beautifully made, even the packaging is on another level. I'm using it on my Fujifilm X system cameras and it works a treat, providing a solid grip while being very unobtrusive. Everything about it is so well thought out, all the way down to the "hidden" tool which is held in place by a magnet.
This review is really for the combination of the Clutch and my Ricoh GR IV. The Clutch is just too big for that camera. Adding the bottom metal piece that attaches to the camera adds noticeable height and weight. The top attachment doesn’t fit the camera, so you have to use a separate tether (in fairness, PD does note this on their compatibility page, so it wasn’t a surprise). The material quality on the Clutch is good, and it seems like it would work well on a slightly bigger camera. It just doesn’t work well with the GR IV.
High quality build, but execution is mid. For average sized hands, this is uncomfortable on an X-T5 with a pancake lens. Even on smaller bodies, the inconvenience from blocking the battery/SD door with the plate seems less than thoughtful. I’ll definitely buy from PD again, but this seems like a miss.
I purchased this a month ago for my Nikon Z5ii. It's my second micro clutch purchase. I'm unsure if I'll keep it. My first issue is the the tool, complete pain when you're in a hurry to swap cards or battery and don't have a flat surface to sit camera on. I've ended up taking it off mid shoot. Second reason I take it off is the tool placement. If I have the FTZ on, can't access the tool unless I disassemble. I really like the idea of the micro clutch, but I hate the tool needed to move the clutch.
Big fan of peak design, but I absolutely hate this product. It's surprising to see many good ratings on because I find it to be completely unusable. First of all, it blocks access to the camera battery compartment which makes it a pain to use even if it was easy to attach and detach from the camera. But this is the second problem. It's a nightmare to attach and detach from the camera.You have to pop out a little tool and unscrew it, and if you're trying to semi presently remove it from the camera you had to fiddle with the keyring or the impossible little fastener to get it off. Totally unworkable. I hate it.
Not enough finger strap adjustment - I am going it will stretch. Also received an everyday 5 litre sling I had requested (as a gift), and O love it - 4 stars
Doesn’t sit where you want it in a Sony camera. It slips up over my knuckles if I want to put my hand where it needs to be to use the camera. If I set the geip to be perfect the grip makes me have my hand to far forward to hold the camera grip. Technically it’s not peaks fault. Sony needs to move the metal piece backwards more towards the screen side of the camera so hand grips can be used comfortably. I wouldn’t buy this off you have a Sony. Mine is an A7RIII
