Best 5th String Capo I've Found, Works Fine for Fretless!
Richard Johnson•December 8, 2017
This is a great option for a tone-full capo on frets where you don't have a railroad spike. And it doesn't fly off during playing like pen caps tend to do.
Even better, it's the perfect companion for using capos on fretless banjos, in concert with the Perfect Pitch Capo for strings 1-4. Like the Perfect Pitch Capo, this Fifth String Banjo Capo provides its own fret/nut analogue, so the 5th string remains live and full of sound.
(I got this capo from Amazon via links to discounts on Banjo Hangout newsletters and the Banjo Hangout site.)

Worth the Price

A bit pricy for a piece of metal and some rubber, but the frustration and time it saves makes it totally worth it. Key changes are instantaneous and you stay in tune.
This is a great tool without having to drill into my $4000
Amazon Customer•February 12, 2017
This is a great tool without having to drill into my $4000.00 Deering. Anyone that plays the banjo knows what I mean about drilling and screwing into the neck.
The service was great arrived as promised and the capo is as described
Paul E Quiggins•February 5, 2017
The service was great arrived as promised and the capo is as described. Contrary to what others have posted the main part which intercepts the string IS A METAL alloy, maybe not bronze don't know. Woks smoothly and the sound is clean without distorting the tuning as much as my banjo with RR spikes.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it is expensive even with discounts and awkward to do quick changes from open G tuning. The placement of my 5th string pip close to the 5th fret prevents me from leaving this capo on all the time and tuning as if an open string as I have done with a Regan 5th string capo. But the tone is better and I may find it if I drop it. The Regan capo is so small if I dropped it while putting it on or taking it off well good luck finding it.

works, but suffers from some odd design issues
Jim A.•March 24, 2016
Works I suppose. Very expensive for what you get. A couple of small issues: a) I question the decision to pad the (perfectly cylindrical) knob with slick glossy rubbery plastic that's almost impossible to get a grip on if your hands are even a little bit moist, and b) maybe it's just my banjo neck, but the capo has a tendency to slip up onto the neck if you overtighten it a little bit. It never actually slipped off though, so it's a problem that's not quite as scary as it looks.
Still, I never had any string buzzing issues, the capo never slipped off the fret, and it never got in the way of my fretting. So it's functional, at least
