Thanks Jostein for looking and advice. I think I'll go for the Genesis
L-bracket with the A-S system.
Also I want to get a micro-slider later this year for focus stacking
(mushrooms pics in particular).
There will also be much more choice for this with A-S.

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?
