I made some. Pretty easy overall. $18 for an ARCA clamp on Amazon. Mine are CNC machined and cerakoted, but a buddy used gaff tape and a chunk of aluminum plate he had laying around until I could finish the engraving on his. Performed exactly the same.
If you're handy with a hacksaw, drill, and a file, I say to go for it yourself!

I think OP is referring to the type you'd mount a spotter, camera, etc to - not the "gamer plate" type setups.
Hah! Yeah, I think you might be right. I was texting a buddy about the gamer plates and had them on the brain!
I also make a tripod plate, but the advise applies the same. In fact, the ARCA clamp comes with a mount that is un-used in my gamer plates. I've repurposed them for the tripod plate mount.
I made mine 4x7" with several 1/4-20 threaded holes. I'll see if I can find a picture of it somewhere.
Those plates have been used in videography rigs for a while.
I have several of the Desmond brand Arca plates. They work great for the price. I used Mlok hardware and attached one to the forend of my coyote hunting AR so I can attach it to my tripod

I bought a few of the Desmond brand plates, too. They work fine.
