Is your mind made up on the RRS/Kirk/Arca system? They sure are
pricey, and IMHO, of limited versatility.
I'm real fond of the Bogen/Manfrotto 3270 system, as used on the 310
mini gear head. They'll handle just about anything -- I have them on
my 4"x5" gear, and even put one on the bottom of a Kodak slide
projector! They're cheap enough that you can use them anywhere -- I
put them on patio speakers in Veggie Van Gogh, so I can pop them off
and put them on tripods outside. The stock plates are a bit on the
large size, but if you have access to a table saw and some scrap
aluminum, you can make your own camera plates pretty easily.
But on the other hand, if you treat your OM system like jewelry, the
RRS/Arca system sure complements it well, but at a price.
