A: about 1.5 inches

Q: 2. Will my Mefoto Arca Swiss quick release plate, like PU-60, be compatible on this ball head?

A: The overall shape of the PU-60 plate will be a little different from the Joby Ballhead X plate, but the locking mechanism should be secure. The X head has an extra feature: a small retracting pin to avoid accidental sliding which may or may not work as intended with other Arca style plates. However, since it retracts fully out of the way, it won't clash and cause an incompatibility.
