that's not just an L plate. i have the Kirk Photo Big L mentioned elsewhere
and don't use it. it is designed for a much larger camera and sticks out way
too far to the right when mounted. also, it blocks all of the normal access
ports needed to change batteries, etc. the Really Right Stuff image you show
requires an Arca Swiss plate mounted on the body. RRS doesn't make such a
plate, but Kirk does for the *istD. i have a pair of the RRS panorama clamps
and the RRS B-16 adapter plate to do highly accurate panoramas. the B-16
plate attaches and removes easily with no tools, while the Kirk Big L plate
requires a hex key to install and remove.
