yes they will. the body design of the 1D3 and 1Ds3 are identical to the millimeter.
Actually I don't believe they are. The lower part of the body is the same, but the upper part where the VF is is different since the 1Ds3 has a larger prism. Still, the bracket fits the lower part so for all practical purposes I guess you could say they're the same.
to each their own and we all have our preferences. the RRS on my 1D3 has done the job as "kludgey and boarderline instable" as it looks to the uninformed eye. fortunately for me as usual RRS has produced a rock stable interchangeable streamlined (thats the opinion of a uninformed aircraft ground engineer of course) reasonably thoughtout product that does both jobs and allows for adjustment to taste too. of course if you only need one for studio then the kirk might be your choice but you wouldn't want to take it out w/o the wifi unit and have all the extra does nothing space on the left side. some cannot see the forest for the trees. me, i'll take the versatility and let me assure you that after using the RRS bracket of the same basic design on the 1D2 and 1Ds2 along with this uninformed minorly maligned one on the1D3 and as of recent the 1Ds3 test bed last momth it has proven to be more then stable and works very well to my taste in gear.

yeah you could say that couldn't you. i had the RRS plate on the 1Ds3 for 3 days about 3 weeks ago after the show in NYC. as usual it worked like a charm with and without the wifi unit attached. http://www.usa.canon.com/app/images/eos/EOS_1D_MarkIII/1dmk3_586x225b.jpg http://www.usa.canon.com/app/images/eos/EOS_1Ds_MarkIII/1dsmk3_586x225.gif
after using the 1D2 and 1Ds2 together i needed to mark both cameras on top so as to not grab the wrong one. on the 1Ds3 it is a little more pronounced on the top and fwd left edge now but i'll still need to mark them when i get the final product. even with it in use you don't even notice it at all.
greater latitude over all as expected. the 1Ds2 did a nice job. it is an evolutionary step. in the series. the jump in size makes it much easier to crop as needed and produce a excellent 20x30 w/o rework.
