In addition to the 3/8" & 5/8" holes, the Hollywood grip head has a third - very small - notch that extends through the plate. It's such a small notch and I cant figure what would fit in it. Can anybody tell me the function of this notch? Thanks!
The third and smallest hole is designed to grip onto Fingers and Dots, which are very small scrims and cutters. It can also be used to bite large gauge bailing wire or whatever smaller wire rods one may be working with. Mono-filament line may also be threaded through that hole.

Can this grip head be screwed into a 3/8" typically found on a tripod?
No, the Matthews Hollywood Head - Black - 2-1/2" will not directly screw onto a 3/8" thread. In order to use the grip head on a tripod, you would need to purchase the Kupo 5/8" Stud with 3/8"-16 Female Thread, B&H # KUKG016512 • MFR # KG016512, for your usage needs. https://bhpho.to/3CDdJG8

Can you mount this grip at the end of a magic arm? It seems from picture the length at the end of the magic arm will not be enough to reach the screw attachment of the grip. Thanks.
You can attach at either end. It's open all the way.

It looks like plastic.
Is it 100% metal or some parts are plastic?
This is a metal grip head of the best you could buy.
