I bought the RRS M5 bracket hoping it would fit - no go. I also grabbed a couple of generic ‘sunway’ style versions and was not happy with the size / fit.

Will watch this thread as I’m curious if there is a good fit out there that I missed.

I took the RRS bracket off my M5 to test on the M6…won't fit correctly due to the raised edge on the bracket. Simple fix was to grind down the raised edge until it fit, then used a little black enamel to cover the raw edge. Fits well now. Ordered a new replacement for the M5 and both are good to go. I like the RRS bracket because of the quick connect points on both the bottom and on the "L". I altered my Black Rapid Cross shot Breathe straps to use the Magpul QC system.

Well that is good to know. Not afraid of modifying gear, but didn’t want to hack that piece when I had it.

Hmmm.

Does the center point marking still line up? I want a one and done for tripod use but also for when using a pano / nodal head. Being able to swap with little fuss is important.

Perfect line up! And the battery doors are fully accessible on both as well. Here's a few crappy iPhone photos which may help you decide. The "L" is not on the M6 right now for extra pocketability.
