I’m getting a relatively modern F-line camera (i.e. not an Oschwald era camera.). The camera has the telescoping rail, not the folding one. According to this page:


It shows the monorail fits in the narrower 26mm “monoball fix” channel on a AS plate. But the profile on the monorail in the article corresponds to just the upper telescoping rails, not the lower piece that clamps them together. In the pictures, the base of the lower piece looks wider, but it also looks beveled like it’s intended to fit in a clamp. Does anyone know if that lower piece fits the common 38mm Arca clamp?

EDIT: for claity, here is the cross-section of the rail. the upper half, with the circular hole matches the profile in the link, but the lower half, with the rectangular hole, is wider and I'm wondering if its 38mm wide?

EDIT 2: Stupid me---I missed one buried sentence---"Additionally, ARCA-SWISS view camera connecting brackets can be mounted into the top channel of Classic"---I'm assuming the bottom bracket of the telescoping rail is a "connecting bracket". I need to brush up on reading comprehension.
