I don't know if they're going to do a Black Friday sale--you could message them and ask, they respond very quickly--but if you're looking for Arca-Swiss style plates of many kinds (or focusing rails/gear), I've found Hejnar Photo's accessories very reasonably priced and of superbly high quality.

Whenever I need something in that line, I always check their site first to see what they have available.

Probably not what you are looking for, but if you want the best Arca Swiss compatible tripod heads, you can't beat Arca Swiss, though they start pretty pricy/high end. Arca Swiss Usa has a 10% off (almost) everything black friday sale:

Welcome to Photrio!

I like the carbon fiber INDURO tripods which are less than the big name brands but are compatible with the Arca-Swiss and Manfrotto parts.

Benro heads are a good value for the price. I have an HD3a pan head I love. I buy my Arca-Swiss style plates from the auction site, way cheaper than genuine ones and even Benro or Induro plates.

Really Right Stuff, Acratech, Kirk Photo, Leofoto, and of course, Arca Swiss.

My model-specific camera l-plates are from various PRC manufacturers, and I decide based on whether I like the design and features. Latest is a Nikon Zfc plate from Neewer. Despite modest price, it's nicely finished and works perfectly. Have previously used products from a high-end USA company, and these were also good quality, but they didn't always have the products I wanted, and I was never fond of their reliance on hex screws.

Tripod heads / clamps: Arca-Swiss, Joby, Vanguard, Hejnar and ..? There are lots of decent choices these days, and a (much) higher price is no guarantee that you'll be more satisfied with a product.
