Peak Design completely reinvented the hand strap and announced the Micro Clutch on Kickstarter (click here). This is what they write:

Micro Clutch is a hand strap. It’s optimized for mirrorless cameras. We made Micro Clutch for two reasons: 

• Cameras have, for the most part, gotten smaller. 
• Hands have, for the most part, remained the same stupid size.

These facts cannot exist peacefully with one another without some sort of tool to bridge their contradictory nature. This is where we come in.

Micro Clutch provides security, stability, and comfort in a delightfully well-designed little package.

Dpreview is still publishing new content and there are rumors that “somebody” is going to buy Dpreview to keep it running. I believe former authors of the website might have convinced Amazon to sell them the website. This would make a lot of sense to me. I still think Dpreview can be run profitable with a smaller team!
