I am sure I am not the only one to receive the RRS L plate by now but I will give my initial impressions.
Like all RRS products it fits great and has zero wiggle. I had been using a "universal" L bracket for my K5 and now my K1 and it certainly fits the camera much better. Until other companies come out with some K1 specific plates this will probably be the best option. I do have a couple minor quibbles that I will likely not even realize once I use it enough. The bracket sticks off the back of the camera ever so slightly on the vertical portion of the plate. I have small hands/fingers and find this still makes it a bit tougher to pull the screen out. Those with larger fingers definitely may have an issue with this. Also, because of the way I hold the camera it makes it more difficult to engage the LV button. Again, this is due to my smaller hands and the grip I am accustomed to using but I imagine after some adjustment time this would not be an issue.
Honestly, there was really no other way for them to design this plate, however, due to the placement of the ports. Their options were to either design it to stick off the back or to block the ports and the prior definitely makes more sense.
What are others finding on this plate?
