Is the ARCA-type plate the same standard size as other ARCA-plate products? The reason I ask is that another tripod I bought a while ago had an "ARCA-style" clamp, but it was a mini-size even thought it was indeed ARCA-style!
There is no true "standard" size arca-swiss plate, but the plate that comes with the Field Optics FPH-200 is a relatively normal size and adequate for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, or long-lens tripod collars.

Specifications for this head list 6.6 pound (or about 3 kg) capacity. Is that realistic, or is it an overoptimistic number (like many specifications are)? I'd mostly use this with lightweight equipment, but am wondering about occasional use of a DSLR rig weighing about 3.5 pounds (1.6 kg), like an APS-C DSLR and 200mm f/2.8 lens. Thanks very much.
I found it to be wobbly unless the pan screw is tightened all the way down really tight (rather defeating the point of a pan/tilt head...)
