Handle with care
I purchased the clip as part of a bundle (t.bone Ovid CC 100) for use with a full-size nylon string classical guitar and a dread-naught steel string acoustic.
Pros:
(1) The clip is great value for money.
(2) It physically fits both of my guitars.
(3) The wing-bolt and slider are easy to adjust for positioning the height of an attached mic.
Cons:
(1) The clip can slip easily so I use paper 'masking' tape to secure it when I play live.
(2) The light plastic design feels a little flimsy and bend easily, which causes the clip to slip (without tape).
(3) The span of the clamping parts could be wider to improve the clamp's grip.
Overall I am happy with the clip. I play sitting down and don't move around much while I play, so any minor movement of the clip (for me) is not detrimental to its usability. There are much better clips on the market, but I use the clip with an equally affordable mic so it suits my needs (at the price).

Okay
I bought this for my Ovid mic and to attach to my resonator or classical guitar - neither of which have built in pick-ups or mics.
Unfortunately, I couldn't make it grip onto the resonator or classical guitar body; kept slipping off no matter how tight or loose I tried to make it. In the end I used some Blu-tack to give it more grip. It worked, but I was annoyed that it was necessary: if I'm buying a product I'd rather not have to make such DIY adjustments - even if they're only minor.
On the bright side the Ovid mic fitted very nicely to it and when it was gripping both guitars I was able to get the quality I was looking for. So, over all I'd give this product an Okay.

POOR TIGHT
THE TIGHT IS POOR, NOT STRONG. RESULTING THE MIC FALLING OF WHEN YOU ACCIDENTALLY PUSH IT ... IT SHOULD BE STRONGER OR MAYBE A DIFFERENT MECHANISM

Does what’s it’s meant.
Nothing special really, does the job. A bit flimsy but does exactly what it needs to do

The clamp gets weak easily. The screws can't tighten it after about 2 months of use. If the clip was improved the ovid system would be perfect.

The expensive accessory
This accessory should be a little cheaper, for a proposed low budget mike system. The microphone itself is cheap, but not its necessary arm / clip, to adapt on the instrument.

Microphone Mounting Clip
A little bit fiddly to use at first, but fits most of my acoustic guitars covering a range of widths and sizes.

Needs careful Handling
Needs careful placement and handling or has a propensity to fall of the body of the guitar a little tape helps.

Hard to secure on a guitar
The clip is very difficult to secure on a guitar, so if you accidentally hit the mic, it's going to fall off easily. Needs a new design!

Good enough
This might require some adjustments and it doesn't exactly make your instrument look cool, although I recognize this is a hard task for this kind of accessory, but it does the job. The materials/construction could be better, but it's OK.
