Q: 10. Will this work with the Arca style quick release plates?

A: It sort-of does. The clamp doesn't open wide enough to drop all A-S plates or L-brackets into it, so you may have to slide it in. You'll need a flat head screwdriver to push the safety latch down, though. You'll probably need 3 hands to accomplish such a process as well.
