Digital Camera World Verdict

Lots of people like using a wrist strap - as it allows you to carry your camera in your hand without needing to grip it tightly, and with less worry about dropping it. The new Micro Clutch is specifically designed for mirrorless cameras - but you need to ensure you pick the I-plate or L-plate version carefully to ensure you have the right one for your model. The idea is great, and it fits nicely into the Peak Design ecosystem. But it can be a bit of pain to fit to your camera- and unfortunately you can end up having to take the thing on and off frequently - simply to change your camera battery.

Pros

  • +

    Makes it easier to carry your camera, without a bag or neck strap

  • +

    Specifically designed for mirrorless cameras

Cons

  • -

    Fiddly to fit

  • -

    You need to make sure you get the right version for your camera

  • -

    You may need to remove the grip to change battery or memory card

The Peak Design Micro Clutch is an evolution of the company’s original Clutch camera wrist strap and it’s designed specifically for use with mirrorless cameras

There are two versions of the Micro Clutch, the L-Plate and the I-Plate. The ‘L’ refers to the shape of the Micro Clutch’s base plate, it’s not an L-bracket like the 3 Legged Thing Alfie.
