I have an excellent one made by Sirui (they make great tripods too)...

Warning!  Be very very careful how tightly you attach ANYTHING to the M Series tripod socket.  Over-tightening can crack the bottom plate (it's easily replaceable though)...

I am using ProMediaGear's PX1R for M5.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1035518-REG/promediagear_px1r_universal_qr_plate_with.html

Interestingly, ProMediaGear seems not to make it any longer.
However, PX1 is still available at BH photo and Adorama as well as ProMediaGear site.

The difference between PX1R and PX1 is that PX1R has anti-twist flange.
