I switch back and forth on these. They are small and light, but usually can't find a spot I like on the headstock. Plus, I always seem to have a problem seeing it in bright light.
That said, am trying it on my Eastman octave. Will see how it behaves at a jam tonight.
Otherwise really like the cheap D'addario tuner with the big display. Also been using the Polytune and Korg Sledgehammer quite a bit.
I like them and use them on mandos, guitars and resonators. They aren't great in sunlight. I did get a polytune for my main mandolin, as it seems better during outdoor, sunny gigs.

Since you brought it up, I'll just mention that Sweetwater carries a "Unitune" (for $30) which is the same as the Polytune ($50) but without the multiple string function. NFI
I have used a NS Micro Tuner on my upright bass for over 3 years and it works well attached to the bridge also.
