G7th recently came out with a new yoke style capo, called the Heritage, that uses a new Adaptive Radius technology. After corresponding with its director about its effectiveness on 12-strings, he told me to sit tight because a version designed specifically for 12-strings was forthcoming. I just received it, and it is fantastic. The silicon pad contains 3 ramps that address the disparity in size between the E, A and D octave strings. The result is less pressure is required to get a clear tone from all 12 strings. Below are some pics:

I have used it for a few days now on several different 12-strings and I think it is the best 12-string capo I have ever used. My Elliott capo works very well, but I have to tighten it very much to get the high G string to ring clean. The Heritage does not seem to require as much pressure and its build quality is excellent. Anyway, highly recommended.
