This 494 Center Ball Head with 200PL-PRO Quick Release Plate from Manfrotto features an integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and a 200PL-PRO quick release plate. It features a load capacity of 19.8 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. By loosening the head's primary locking knob, the ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. A recessed dial set within that locking knob can be rotated to apply tension control to the ball-and-socket joint's movements. Along the opposite side of the ball head, a secondary locking knob controls the ability to rotate the head 360°.

Can this head be used with the tethertools tether block with the arca plate?
I agree with the previous answer. The quick release clamp on the 494 head is designed for Manfrotto's RC2 quick release plate. This incompatible with Arca-style plates.
RC2 plates differ in width and angle from Arca-style plates.
Looks like Tethertools plates require an Arca-style clamp.
