Quality/Usability : I have been a big fan of Hejnar Photo camera plates. They are made of high quality materials, sturdy and reliable. So when I purchased my R5 and R6, I went and looked to see if there were any plates available made specifically for these cameras and indeed they had it available.
Included with the plate are two hex tools. These allow you to tighten and loosen the 1/4-20" screw that attaches to the bottom of your camera and the small stoppage screws when the camera is mounted onto a Arca-swiss ballhead. These small screws prevent the camera from sliding off.
Here's a close-up look of the plate with the screws. There's a Quick Detach (QD) socket hole above the 1/4-20" screw for you to attach a QD style strap. QD system has been used for years by industries around the world including NASA, law enforcement and military agencies. If you don't have a QD strap, you can ignore this. Unfortunately, there is no additional 1/4-20" or 3/8" screw mount to attach additional accessories.
On one end of the plate is a slot to attach a strap, Peak Design Anchor Link, Clutch, SpiderHolster Hand Strap or other accessories.
On the underside, you can see the flat surface but there is a small pin that protrudes. This is where it inserts into the bottom of the camera to prevent the plate from moving.
Here is a close-up of the mounting where the pin meets the bottom of the camera as well as the 1/4-20" screw.
Once the plate is mounted, theres no gaps and the flip out screen opens and closes without any issues.
As mentioned, the plate is Arca-Swiss compatible and will work with any Arca-Swiss ballhead.
Another great thing about the Hejnar Photo D064 plate is that not only does it cover majority of the bottom of the camera, but it doesn't block the access to the battery door.

Conclusion : Overall, the Hejnar Photo Canon R5/R6 Arca Swiss Camera Plate D064 is a nice accessory to have if you have an Arca-Swiss ballhead. The dovetails are perfect that there is no issue attaching the camera to the ballhead. There's no need for rubbing padding to prevent the plate from rotating as it has a pin that inserts into the camera to prevent it from moving.

I love the fact that its almost the full width of the camera allowing you to position your camera however you want on the ballhead as well as having the accessibility to get to your camera.
