What are people doing to work around the fact that it's not possible to mount the Arca plate provided by DJI directly to the Komodo body with two screws? Relying on just one ¼"-20 screw to mount Komodo is not an acceptable option. I was thinking of making an adapter plate to go between the Arca plate and Komodo; with ¼ and ⅜ holes aligned on optical axis for mounting to Komodo, and a pair of ¼"-20 holes on an axis that's perpendicular to the optical axis for screwing on the Arca plate. I don't want to go to that trouble and don't want to add to the height, so does anyone know of a 3rd party Arca plate that would work? DJI should make an Arca plate available with ¼ and ⅜ mounting holes in the correct orientation and distance...

Just the fact that DJI has only provided with a one-screw solution is just stupid. Did they even think things through? Marketing it being mounted on car rigs etc. but only provides a one screw plate. I don't understand what went through R&D for this. It's marketed towards larger cameras but only provide the DSLR type plate.
