I look at the RRS option. Looks really good that they adopted a relatively slim design.
I also have the Promediagear Universal L-Bracket for bodies without a battery Grip, and it fits the K1 to a T! What I like about it is that the bracket allows me to move it closer to the mount area versus having the plate closer to the screen (which is at the back of the camera). With the heavier lenses, such as the DFA lenses, I would prefer the plates are shifted closer to the lens mount section. Will post a shot when I get the opportunity.
The Promediagear one has rubber gaskets on the plate which grips quite tightly to the camera body to ensure no unnecessary twisting of the plates just like what the dedicated plates does. And in practise it seems to really work too .. This is unlike most universal L brackets. One up for the Promediagear guys.
There's 2 things that I didn't quite like - One is the relative thickness of the plates compared to most on the market. But even then, it's particularly useful if you use nodal rails with integrated clamps, and you want to mount square filter holders. The other is the center markings on the Y-axis, as it'll not be the absolute center for the K1 (it's universal L-bracket for a reason).
