No I haven’t used it. But some observations: At the price it would be worth buying just to see. I expect the biggest issue, which may not matter to you, is that some or all of the ports on the left side of the camera will be blocked. If you never use them, no big deal. Also, looking at the K-1, I would inspect carefully the first time I mounted this plate. You want the upright snug against the body, but depending on the width the upright might put pressure on the raised portion of the DC-IN/HDMI/USB hatch cover. The Kirk plate for the K-1 has the upright portion offset slightly to the rear so as to clear that area. You could even access those connections without removing the plate.
