What a smart design and well engineered piece of art, davinci must've helped RED with this one ;)
here is a quick picture:

Same here. Any other insight to share? Almost pulled the trigger a few times. Very interested.

My five cents.
You need the quad battery pack or some other cradle for batteries to work as counter weight to the camera. If not the Clutch is front heavy, even with a small lens. So it does not really feel in balance with only side grip battery.
I have to agree with my friend Fredrik Calingard on this one.. If he gets his "Titan" finished (search this forum). Then I think it's a better option. Since it's letting the camera be on the shoulder instead of in front of the shoulder like the clutch puts it.
But except for the balance issues and the wait for more modules I think the clutch is the most pristine made shoulder thingy seen. Was impressed with the chunk of styrofoam it came with also. It fitted straight into one of our Peli cases and made the unit look very much pro... Red Pro actually :)
