Wave: Lap Steel Capo
Initial reaction: tricky, however with practice, this tool works extremely well. For (relatively) quick key changes between songs to accommodate the singer's key, you are able to work in familiar fretboard areas. An added bonus is a change of key may enhance the sonic quality.
Pro's: adds musical benefits...works fine with lap steels fitted with Certano benders too.
Cons: Pricey and a bit fiddly when first used. There is a learning-curve due to solid construction and adapting to playing.
If lost, I'd order a new one immediately. 🎼 Additional experience: Works well (accurate/no buzzing) on lap steels with sufficient string clearance (1.5cm)…e.g GoldTone LS6 is too low. On SX/Revelation DLX, perfect. Check your string-height prior to purchase.

NOT GREAT sorry!
It is pretty and looks great, the problem is that is not very estable, I mean, when you play nothing holds it against the fretboard so it vibrates too much causing a kind of vibrato effect when you play open strings and rattling... also cos is not touching the fretboard (it's floating in the strings) make the guitar go out of tune if you press the strings down while playing, I have other much cheaper brands with classic clamp design and they work and sound much better than this one, too pricey for what it is tho... pretty but not worth the price.

pricey but effective
Works a treat on my Regal - where my previous capo would not cleanly stop all the strings without kinking them.

Better than a Shubb but still bulky.
I don't believe there is a "best product" for capo'ing a squareneck dobro. This one mounts fairly easily on my "spider" dobro, less so on a National Tricone, where the strings are closer to the fretboard.
However the top of the unit is still quite high and can get in the way of playing.
