From my limited personal experience and looking at the online
catalogs I find, more often than not, that Kirk provides a closer fit
to the body and plates designed for more camera models. They had one
for my old Coolpix 5700 for Pete's sake. Also I find that frequently
RRS provides some extra unneeded alloy just to display their logo. I
prefer Kirk's more minimalist and function only approach. The
difference is not 100 percent. They are both good product lines, but
Kirk sometimes shows some extra effort.
