The Beard's require 1/4 inch clearance.

A Leno capo has a very slim bar (that goes under the strings), so it should work -- it's what I use most ofte. The Flux capo looks like it could work, but I've never tried it.
I also have the Scheerhorn capo, which is a touch to thick for my steel's clearance unless I flip it upside down, which puts the brass part facing down -- not a good scenario. It works fine on squareneck reso though.

On 6-string lap steels the old Beard capo works OK, but I love the way the Leno works. My fav. is the Leno, but you'll have to feed it's rubber habit. It goes thru those surgical tubing sleave covers fairly fast, but it's real easy to replace.

my old-style Beard is the only capo that works on my Weissenborn.
