Just to clarify, whether my ballhead (Benro KB-1A) compatible for the arca-style L plate?
looks like a arca-style clamp to me.
edit: just checked, yes it is.

I think I can get the L bracket fabricated locally. My company has a regular precision engineering workshop that can pretty much fabricate anything out of a CAD/CAM drawing.
It's basically an angled alumninium bracket with the appropriate "rails" and slots. After that it's just hard anodizing.
If many people order, I think the price can be brought down significantly, since programming the CNC machine is the costly part. The material cost is probably negligible (a few bucks).
:bigeyes:
if you want, can even make out of titanium

Bloody tempting! Make sure you have enough space for opening side access panel to get to ports on the camera.
Meantime, let me crawl back to my hole ...

I can draw it out on Pro/Engineer and pass to them
Confirm, chop and guarantee that it looks like quality-made product...!
They've made stuff for me (work-related, not personal) that's even better quality than the OEM stuff we buy from Germany!

you wanna take my share or not? I'm having second thoughts about the decal... since I don't think I'll put it on my windscreen, it's just gonna be a white elephant.

bro... yours looks super complicated lor... 
by the time they get the dimensional drawing done, it'll probably cost more than what you can get it for...!
L plate and this... the complexity is no fight...!

By right the material (Alu 1100/5000 series) & finishing (anordize or blackenize) are not cost so much, the highside is on designing and processing (CAD/CAM)..
Good morning everyone! Another new day for poisoning....
