I was ignorant of the Arca-Swiss system, until recently, even after years of camera work lol. Helps to swap things around fast.
The Only Arca Quick Release Plate You'll Ever Need

I have a pouch full of arca quick release plates and I'm slowly phasing out ones that are not the desmond. The solid aluminum build is the right weight, the bright position marking and the fact that it's a 1/4-20 thread eliminate the need to add an adaptor so the quick release sits directly on the plate. You know when you have a piece of gear that just feels right it make the whole shooting process better. Desmond has this one in the bag for me.

I want to put this on top of the FEISOL PB-70 Panning Base, then fasten the whole thing to a Desmond DNR-180 Nodal Rail, and use the whole thing as the upper rail for a cheap panoramic solution. Will it even work, considering thread size and overall durability?
Yes , if one uses the reducer bushing :https://bhpho.to/2gGw2Pp on top of the Feisol PB-70 panning base, one can mount the Desmond DAC-38 Quick Release Clamp with a 1/4"-20 inner thread below..
