Thanks for sharing your experience. I have SLIK 700DX tripod & I want to make sure RRS & works with my existing ball head. My QR plate looks like this..

I think I need the fallowing, ls let me know if this is really the right stuff...
1) RRS Pano clamp ( PCL-1 3/8) & RRS Rails (MPR-CL II )
2) Kirk L bracket for *istd
RRS Pano clamp comes in two versions PCL - 1 3/8 and 1/4"-20 version. I think I should go for PCL - 1 3/8.
And there is no reference to *istD compatible L bracket in Kirk site.
Thanks Ramesh

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.

I thought of using L plate. Pls let me know, if any company makes it.
