I really like the Planet Waves NS Capo Pro much more than I ever expected. The fine control over pressure means I'm not adjusting the tuning every time I put a capo on or take it off! Before getting the NS Capo I'd used the spring grip style capo which clamped my SG's extra light strings too tight pulling them a little out of tune. That spring grip capo is my comparison point.

Things I like:
+ I can control how much pressure is applied accurately
+ I usually *don't* have to retune! :-)
+ The profile does not get in the way of playing next to the capo
+ Pressure is even across the strings/fretboard
+ Appears to be precisely made with nice knurled knob
+ Rubber inserts seem very protective
+ Small size takes up less space in my case & fits in my pocket

What I don't so much:
- Slower to mount/adjust (offset by not having to retune!)

Playing with the NS Capo is a pleasure compared to the spring grip style I've been using. One of the things I have hated about using a capo is how they can interfere with my fingering hand when playing next to them. This capo has a small profile and does not interfere. In practical use this may be the best advantage for me.

I had come to think it was normal to have to adjust tuning when putting a capo on. With The NS Capo I can control tension across the strings precisely and avoid that annoyance. This pretty much balances out how it is slower to mount than the spring-grip style.

Finally the NS Capo's small size means it takes up less space and can easily fit in a pocket.

In conclusion I didn't know what to expect in my first experience with this style of capo. Based experience with my spring clamp style capo the NS Capo has fully exceeded my expectations. I think it well worth 5 stars.
