Would this support a fully rigged FX9 (monitor, transmitter etc.) or will I need the Aktiv 8?
The Sony FX9 is 10.58 lb (with Viewfinder, Eyepiece, Grip Remote Control, BP-U35 battery, SELP28135G LENS, an XQD memory card, handle, mic holder). I think the Sachtler aktiv6 could work. But the Sachtler aktiv8 would be more stable and a better choice for this payload.

The Aktiv6 has 3+0 steps of drag and the Aktiv8 has 7+0. Is the total amount of drag the same on both with the Aktiv8 having finer control or does the Aktiv8 have more overall drag?
The total amount of drag is not the same on the Aktiv6 and Aktiv8. There are 4 more units of drag on the Aktiv8 than the Aktiv6.

Is the plate on this an Arca-Swiss? Wondering if the Zacuto C70 cage would mount on the Aktiv6.
no, it is not an Arca-Swiss. Zacuto bottom plate has a 1/4" and 3/8" connection which will work with the aktiv6 camera plate

Would Aktiv 6 be appropriate for Sony A7s3 and Sony 100-400 lens and maybe a small monitor on top? I'm debating between Aktiv 6 and Aktiv 8, but would hope to spend less on Aktiv 6.
Absolutely, the Sachtler aktiv6 has a load capacity of 0 to 17.6 lb / 0 to 8 kg.

Does the pan bar slip when tilting up and down on the activ 6 head? I had a bad experience with an FSB 8T head doing just that, because Sachtler made the teeth too shallow for the pan bar to grip the rosette properly.
It was not defective as far as I could tell. My employer bought three SpeedLock 75 systems with FSB 8T heads, and all three 8T's had fine-tooth rosettes on both sides, and pan bars slipped when tilting, even after tightening the HELL out of them.

Does it come with a camera plate and is that plate manfrotto style or proprietary?
JonathanS (B&H) and Sachtler both answered and their answers are in conflict. This is frustrating.

What would be the total weight be without the spreader? Thank you.
The aktiv6 head is 5.7 lb and the flowtech 75 legs without the spreader are about 6lbs without the spreader.
