Q: 4. Is this compatible with any arca plate or Fuji arca grip plate? Or do you have to use their arca plates only?

A: Since the Sirui KS-20 Low Gravity QR Ball Head uses a lever to tighten the plate onto the clamp, the plate needs to be exact in order to offer a perfect connection. Any small change in the size or angle of the lip of the plate may not allow the plate to be held perfectly onto the clamp. Therefore, we recommend only using the Sirui plate that comes with the head or a Sirui plate made specifically for this head in order for the plate to be 100% secure onto the clamp.
