Peak Design Micro Clutch

£62.99

Peak Design has created a first-of-its-kind hand-strap designed specifically for smaller mirrorless cameras. The strap aims to help provide a better grip on your camera without interfering with the functionality of your controls. This design means you can worry less about dropping your camera and more about getting the perfect shot, supported by added stability.

The Peak Design Micro Clutch features a Hypalon finger loop, which allows you to hook through a few fingers to provide a greater grip on your camera when shooting. The straps for larger DSLR cameras are built to support the weight of the camera and press your palm against your camera body for added stability. However, many mirrorless cameras do not have the space for such a bulky camera strap. Instead, they work best with a smaller cradle-style loop which provides a better grip on your camera, without overtaking the smaller exterior.

I really liked the feel of the Micro Clutch when using my camera, as it adds an extra bit of security when moving about and steadying each shot, without being too bulky or getting in the way. The strap feels sturdy and is made from a microfibre moisture-wicking pad which ensures all-day comfort when shooting for long hours. Plus, I love how securely it fits onto my camera, with a solid base plate and top attachment so I never have to worry about it coming off and potentially dropping my camera!

The Micro Clutch has two different versions to ensure that the clutch is perfectly designed for your camera model. The L-plate version is designed for cameras which have a hand grip protruding more than 3 cm. However, if you have a more streamlined camera model with no hand grip, the I-Plate is the perfect choice. I will say it can be a little fiddly to attach the Micro Clutch as the fittings are quite tight, but this ensures a better and more secure fit. Additionally, should you want to attach your camera to a tripod, you simply just use the included tripod plate, which is compatible with Capture V3, PD Tripods and third-party Arca setups. Plus, the strap has a magnetically integrated removal tool, which enables quick battery changes without hassle which is great for shooting on the go.

Aside from providing great stability and security to holding your camera, the entire base plate is made from recycled anodized aluminium and is 100% carbon neutral. The sustainability aspect of the design highlights Peak Design’s commitment to ethical manufacturing and environmental responsibility.

If you’re a photographer or photography enthusiast who loves to pictures on a smaller mirrorless camera, you can’t go wrong with getting a Micro Clutch from Peak Design designed for added security and stability. Made from sturdy aluminium and delivered in a low-profile way, the Micro Clutch is like a little helping hand to keep your camera safe so you can focus on getting the best shot.
