It's early days yet...best make do with a generic plate..until dedicated ones are released by Kirk, RRS etc.

Have fun with your new camera ;)

I would try using an L bracket from another similar camera and see how that fits and works.

If you want a generic camera plate, I use and recommend the one made by Wimberley, the P 5. t allows you to reposition the mounting screw if needed to access the battery.

Thanks everyone for suggestions
I will look at SmallRig
I normally use RRS but they haven’t indicated anything yet
A new toy to play with I guess 🤦‍♀️

I've been using a generic Sunwayfoto DP-39 for the last few years rather than buying a specific plate for each camera.

This is an interesting plate with a compartment for an Air Tag:

I like that it has a QD mount and only $50!
