What im using

RobertW , weekly capos? I guess I'm using my new Shubb every week..... sometimes I'll break into something else, but then I've only got about 5 or 6 capos......

I've been using my Kyser flipped around to play in dropped DADGAD a lot lately.  Wow, lots of fun.  I think I've already written the music for a song.  It really is fun practicing this tuning.  Can't wait 'till I get better at it.

Also, can't wait till I get a few proper Cut Capos now too.  While oncest I had all the capos I needed, now that I'm cannibalizing some Kysers, I'm short a bunch.

I only have one capo, it's a small chrome colour Shubb.
Don't use the capo very often, but find it very useful when doing guitar maintenance.

Im curious, can you handle the stretch for a G chord in dropped d?

Perhaps, but when you drop the 6th, you have to alter the fingering of your other chords, and, if you want to play in E, you have to put on a capo anyway.  With a Shubb capo at the second fret on the first five strings, I can use all my standard chord shapes and have only lost the F and F# on the bass string.

I bet I can put a Shubb on the first five strings at the second fret as quickly as you can re-tune your 6th to D. It takes 2 or 3 seconds tops.  But I admit to dropping the 6th to D if I want to play in D.

I've never tried dropped D tuning.  Not a fan of detuning and retuning up my strings.  With a cut capo, I'm strictly in the key of E so I don't play a G chord ever.  Same as in DADGAD you wouldn't play an F chord cuz it's not in the key.  I mean, you "could" play a G in cut capo or an F in DADGAD, but it would be awkward in sound and in playability.

I figured out how to play a G in Cut Capo so I'm going to try it later and see how it sounds.  IF I can play the chord that is.  LOL.   It's not a huge stretch, but it IS awkward. 

Ah, but we don't all have as good an ear as yours.
