Well-built but not comfortable
on November 28, 2025
Posted by: P
I rather like most of Peak Designs stuff, I've got quite a lot of it at this point. Now I wouldn't say that my hands are much larger than the average, and I've tried a few different configurations with my Sony A7R V but I just can't get the clutch to be completely comfortable. It either feels snug and secure, which results in a slight pinch near the upper eyelet, or it's too loose to be useful, or my hand is secured in a way that I have to strain and contort my finger a little to hit the shutter or the dials.
Overall the build feels fantastic and durable, and if you're someone with small hands, you'll probably have a great time. For me, I find myself using my other restraints far more.

Awesome

I use this with my often with my Slide. The quick release on the system makes changing the setup a breeze. My hand is pretty big and this fits very snug but the Ellie PD bracket moved the attachment over enough to make extra room for my big hand.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect on my Nikon Z5 II

Excellent product for me. I'm an experienced photographer and I used to wear the classic Nikon neck strap. I've recently changed all my DSLR stuff for a more modern (and LIGHTER) mirrorless system (Nikon Z5 II). This time, I didn't like the original neck strap, so I started looking around. Peak Design offer a very interesting, well thought and designed stuff. In particular, I chose to give a try to the Clutch, and I'll never look back. I'm in love with it and, after a short adaptation period, I use this wrist strap only. It flips in and out of my bag wtih the camera attached in a matter of seconds and without the hussle given by long neck strap. It's well designed and rounds perfectly over my hand helping to get a secure and comfortable grip. I use it with my pancake lens, a 24-200 and even with the 100-500. This clutch has totally and definitely replacing any neck stuff. Highly recommended from my side.

NOT FOR PRO PHOTOGRAPHERS!!!!! READ THIS!!

Terrible design for a Pro photographer... think about it. In order to do something simple such as change a battery, its designed to have to use a special, proprietary tool to remove the plate... UHHH, NO!! Absolutely NOT pro photographer friendly. We are often in harsh conditions and in a hurry. The last thing I want to have to worry about is whether or not I have a special tool to do a battery change. It's absolutely absurd.

Really secure hold

Bought this as I haven’t historically gotten on with traditional neck straps. Brilliant for a little additional support whilst shooting without being cumbersome or inconvenient. Was a breeze to install and the video guide was unexpected but very helpful.

Great quality

Bought this a few weeks ago and am really pleased with it. Before getting this I just used the standard neck loop the camera camera came with but the ease of being able to just grab it out my bag and no risk of dropping it is great. Looks great, feels great, is great! Would recommend for any camera

Top Quality and Well Designed
on August 26, 2025
Posted by: BGAlberta
This is a top class product. I’ve been using a good quantity Canon hand strap for years, which worked well, but it restricted hand movement to work the controls and the bottom camera connection was bulky. The Clutch eliminates those problems very well. The other huge bonus is the integrated tripod plate making it so much quicker to use the camera both on and off a tripod. I use it with a Leofoto Poseidon tripod and the Canon EOS R7. The bonus is an excellent online video to show how to correctly set it up and use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Huge relief with heavier cameras with grip
on August 20, 2025
Posted by: C
from Sydney, Australia
Completely changes how it feels to carry my heavier camera. One problem I found when using heavier cameras is that your hand will get tired from gripping the camera for an extended period of time. If I use the Clutch (L-plate) with my Lumix G90, I can completely relax my hand when my arm is dangling and my camera will not fall out of my hands allowing me to take a break. I think this works because the G90 has a pronounced grip at the front so the weight of the camera and the Clutch strap twists my fingers around the grip without any effort.
I do have some small issues with the product though. The G90 happens to have a mounting hole that is quite biased towards the front of the camera. This means that the Clutch plate sticks out from the front quite a bit. I also decided to get the L-plate variant instead of the I-plate (against Peak Design's suggestion), so the tip of the plate that anchors the strap also sticks out from the front of the grip. I actually mount the plate at an angle so that this "tip" peeks less from the front, but obviously is not as a satisfying look. Another small issue is that the model information sticker at the bottom of the camera has shifted quite a bit from its home. I suspect it can shift a little bit each time I re-install the clutch.
Regardless, I would still use this product, as I love the single-handed operation getting this into and out of the Capture on my belt. To new users: after repeatedly removing and installing the plate on my camera to switch batteries, I think you don't need to tighten the screw too tightly.
