Perfect quick release plate for long lens

Desmond DPL-169 Long Lens Quick Release Plate is exactly what I was looking for. Sturdy and light weight while also being reasonably priced. If you have a long lens and need Arca-swiss style plate - this is it.

I bought the DPL-169 to attach a Kowa TSN-99A to my Oben GH30 gimbal head. The stock QR plate was much too small as was the 150 mm plate I had previously. I had my Canon 1DX mark II attached to the scope and the balance point couldn't be achieved. BUT, with the 169 mm QR plate, I was successful in getting the scope plus camera to balance and am able to get the bird in flight pictures I was hoping to produce.

What size are the three holes at the end? Are they threaded?

These holes are not threaded. They are .256 or a tad over 1/4
