No particular experience with the brand or the maker of the bracket, but
I checked out their website. Looks like a decent enough piece of gear,
especially at the asking price. It stands apart from other solutions I
have seen in that the stem of the L is screwed onto the base rather than
cast in one piece. Hard to say from the pictures how that affects
stability in portrait mode. But I like the upside of the concept, that
you can take it off if/when you don't need it. I also like the extra
knob on the base plate to ensure that the base plate doesn't twist. I
assume it will fit into the groove on the camera intended for the
vertical grip.
I went from Manfrotto to A-S some time in the previous millennium and
haven't missed it one bit. The flexibility you get from the A-S is
unmatched.
From the ballheads shown on the Genesis website, it looks like they are
a design-clone of ReallyRightStuff. If you need something that handles
faster than the screw-knob on the QR clamp, I'd bet you could buy a
lever-based clamp from RRS or one of the Chinese/Korean clones and fit
it right on.

Looking for an L-bracket mainly for the K-1, I came across the Genesis
Base PLL-K1 L-Type Plate designed for the K-1, that is offered for 50
euro here.
Though I now use Manfrotto RC2 quick release systems with 200 PL
plates on my two tripods, I do have a spare Genesis ballhead with pano
rotation and compatible with Arca Swiss.
The Manfrotto option for an universal L-bracket with RC2 system is
more expensive (about 110 euro), but looks rather solid.
I am thinking about switching system to use the more versatile A-S,
though I'm so used to the one hand click operation with RC2.
Anybody having experience on these L-brackets to make me decide?
