The best capo advancement in decades belongs to G7th and their Adaptive Radius Technology.
Their yoke style (which I think is the best capo design) capo, is the Heritage. It makes my guitar sound better and no other capo I've ever used has managed to achieve that feat.

I have a couple of these (among others listed) and really appreciate how low-profile they are from the audience perspective. All of the hardware is behind the neck. It’s definitely the best trigger capo I’ve used. I don’t think you’d like the two-handed approach, but for anyone else reading - the G7th Ultralight is one of the most underrated capos. It’s really like not having it on and “ultralight” doesn’t refer at all to its capabilities to capo effectively.

What capo is your favorite?
I used to use Shubb's since the 70s. Now I use G7th's, Performance 3 and Newport 12 string with compensated string pad. Both are easy enough to put on and take off. And neither require any re-tuning. Just get up and go. Don .

I like my Thalia, Planet Wave NS, Paige Clik (yoke) and Taylor (yoke) capos. I recommend the Planet Wave NS. I don't care for the clamp type capo, but the one the OP posted is adjustable.

I also prefer Shubb. I have several including the partial capo and they have never failed me.

I use shubb deluxe...but been tryin to buy a paige standard for a while (so it can stay on the guitar).
But they are rare in europe, Some only have the clickversion, others want more in postage than the cost of the capo (and the point with paige is gone)

I like my G7 Newport, but performance 3 can but on the headstock of my guitar, a bit more convenient.
Thalia capo is the most attractive capo since I can change the pad and different material pad can give different voice (Quite a different) but it's a bit bulky.

G7th herritage. Adaptive shape (fits my Gibson and Taylor), and is tightened with a knob, not a spring. Ya, takes me 5 seconds longer to put it on, but I really have no issue with that.
I like a capo where I chose the tension, not a spring.

No capos with springs here anymore. The tuning is always off with them.
My best capo is the G7th Heritage, followed by my 2 other yoke style capos (Taylo and Daddario. The most comfortable capos are the Panet waves/Daddario NS followed by the Shubbs. The NS might be the price/usability/quality winners. I can live perfectly with the yokes, NS and Shubbs, but not with Kyser or Dunlop rubber-band 70 style capos I had back then. BTW: Had a G7th Performance 3 too, but the adaptive technology was not adaptive enough for my D-18! I gave it to a friend.
