For clover and rape, I used to use a Scotts Easy Hand Held manual spreader. However, the small seeds would get caught in the spinner plate and caused lots of trouble. I'd eventually break the gears or the handle.
Now I use a Scotts Wizz Spreader. It's battery powered and super easy to use. Has a very precise spread rate meter and it spreads small seeds like clover and handles larger seeds like wheat or oats great.
I simply hold it down by my side and walk my plots. For small seed like clover that's hard to see coming out, I hold my hand in front of the spinner to get a feel for how many are coming out.
I've found this spreader is much easier for me to use than the Earthway hand operated over the shoulder I used to use.
I would post URL's but I can't until I get 10 posts.
