Arca L-bracket for EOS R10?

I keep L-brackets on my larger camera bodies, but will not want to do that for the little R10.  Has anybody found a suitably petite L-bracket for the R10?  I can't see any dedicated ones, so I assume it will have to be universal, but it needs to be small enough to not obstruct the battery/SD card door, and to fit unobtrusively in my bag.  If there's nothing out there, I'll just use a plain arca plate when I need to put it on a tripod, and manage by flipping the ballhead over by 90 degrees for portrait orientation.

Have a look at this one:

I've got one for my old PowerShot G3X and it works fine. Call PMG first if you're concerned about fit or anything. A human will answer the phone and I've found them extremely helpful and accurate. In fact, I've got a couple of their Universal L-brackets, one for the G3X and another that I keep in my 4Runner in case I need it for any of my cameras (I don't keep brackets permanently installed on my cameras, and occasionally "leave home without it").

Their brackets are a little heavier than some others, I think. Among other things, I like that the vertical piece is easily detachable. The same bracket fits both my G3X and R5, although I later replaced the Universal with one designed for the R5.

Thanks - it’s very like the “3-legged thing Ellie” available here in UK.  So far I’ve managed with a simple Arca plate and tipping the tripod head over 90 degrees.  I think the R10, unlike the R5, is so small and light that it’s mostly usable without an L-bracket.
