Quality product

Works great on a Fujifilm X-E4. The I-plate fits great, does not add any bulk to the frame. With bigger hands and because of the small camera body I use only one finger thru the strap to get an ergonomic grip and best usage. Components seem very good quality and the tripod plate was a nice add-on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Product with Unintended Outcome

I didn't expect to want to work for Peak Design after buying the latest offering (yet another for my collection)! I had questions unrelated to the Micro Clutch when the KS campaign was still active. Pre-release customer service and engagement was amazing! Lmk who where to send my resume.
As far as the actual product is concerned, it's amazing! I'm trying to go on a travel diet, and this is perfect for the times when I'm low on bag capacity. It works as advertised and doesn't hurt my fingers. I'm using a Fuji XT-3, and the L-Plate works, but the I may have been a little better fit. It doesn't matter though b/c the integrated tool makes on-the-fly adjuststments (like getting to the battery door easier than giving my money away to PD. I'm not a big fan of neck and wrist sweat in the summer when using other PD products that keep me from paying repair bills…so, this is a great alternative on warmer days.

I'm using the L-plate with Sony a7IV. My hands are on the smaller side and it works great when adjusted for 3-fingers inside the loop usage. I had a several hours shoot and it was super convenient, to the degree that I forgot it was there despite the convenience it provided for holding and controlling the camera one-handed as well as the added security.
Worth mentioning:
* All the materials used are just great.
* The anchor point on the Micro Clutch has a great position: when paired with a Slide strap the lens is pointing down and sits very comfortably in general.
* If it doesn't fit well on the first attempt, try a few different configurations: 2/3 fingers, firm/loose fit. I found 3 fingers with a slightly looser fit to be the best for me.

One of the best products from PD so far. It solved a real problem in a unique way.
It now feels odd to use the camera without it, that says a lot how good it is.

The Perfect Solution

I recently started using the Micro Clutch from PeakDesign and I'm quite satisfied with its performance. I'm using the Fujifilm XT30 camera, paired with the Type I Micro Clutch, and this combination is truly perfect.
Before I started using the Micro Clutch, I used to use the Capture v3. However, I found that it would cover the battery cover, preventing me from quickly replacing the battery and memory card. Every time I needed to change the battery or memory card, I had to remove the Capture v3. This not only required additional tools, but there was also no suitable place to store the removed Capture v3. However, since I switched to the Micro Clutch, these problems have been resolved. Now, I can quickly disassemble the Micro Clutch to replace the battery and memory card, and I no longer need to carry additional tools, nor worry about where to store the removed Micro Clutch.
In addition, after using the Micro Clutch, I can finally operate with one hand. This is a significant improvement for me as it allows me to take photos more conveniently.
Lastly, I want to mention that the base of the Micro Clutch is compatible with Capture v3, which allows me to use the previous quick-release system.
In conclusion, I am very satisfied with the Micro Clutch from PeakDesign. It solved the problems I encountered when using Capture v3 and provides the convenience I need. I strongly recommend all Fujifilm XT30 users to try the Micro Clutch.

Excellent Fit for my Fujifilm X100V!

I have the regular size Peak Design Clutch and it works excellent on my full frame Canon R6. I wanted something similar that would fit my much smaller X100V and when the Micro Clutch came out, it looked to be exactly what I was looking for. Trying it out on my camera is even better than I expected.
My favorite features of the Micro Clutch are that it goes across almost the entire bottom of the X100V which allows it to stand flat on a table. I also found the clutch handle a good size. I like to use it with 3 fingers, leaving only my index finger free to press the shutter. I found this more comfortable than using only 2 fingers. The integrated tool is also really well thought out. It would have been annoying to carry around a separate tool to remove the bottom bracket whenever I need to change the battery or have access to the SD card. But including the integrated tool makes up for that and I found it to not be any hassle to remove the bottom bracket for access to the battery compartment on the X100V.
I really recommend the Micro Clutch for anyone who likes to carry their smaller cameras without a neck strap. Just grabbing my X100V without a dangling camera strap makes my setup much more compact and packable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My main use is for X-H2 and I wanted a clutch that its not so big to use. The Micro is the best for that application light small secure and versatile. I was afraid that due to its size could be deficult to use on X-H2 but its perfect

Sorry, but it’s perfect.

I was admittedly expecting what I often do with Peak Design products: reading the good and bad, but finding love well into ownership (once the learning curve passes).
Unfortunately though, the micro-clutch is perfect—it’s easy to install, far more adjustable for variable sizes and potential grips than I had been lead to believe, and super comfortable and intuitive. It has no learning curve. It’s just another Peak Design product where all of the elements are in a delicate balance, and once you explore the parts’ relationships to the sum, its design feels so carefully considered.
The L plate on my XT-5 is out of the way and feels like a natural extension of the camera. Even with heavy lenses, my averagely sized but not small hands, and two-or-three-finger grips with the strap at one of its tightest settings, it’s comfy and adds the perfect amount of security.
I believe this will work for you. You know that you know that Peak Design knows what they’re doing. P.S. The split ring tool is phenomenal—y'all are wild.

Great for A7rIV

Ive been a clutch user for years. It’s great but I always had to bend my shooter finger in an awkward position to hit the shoot button. Usually i never had the strap completely on my had. This clutch fixes that. I was worried about the strap hitting the webbing between my fingers but it has just enough clearance that it doesn’t. i can hold my camera with my fingers more where it would naturally be. I think it’s a keeper.
