It's difficult to give a fool-proof answer to your question because different manufacturers make A-S plates and clamps, and there are a few different standards used. Therefore, not all clamps, or "receptacles", will perfectly fit all plates. The screw-type clamps are generally a bit more forgiving of slight variations in plate size, and some clamps also are adjustable.
OK, thanks, that's what I was wondering about, and afraid of.
I think Jim and Steve are suggesting going with a plate/clamp pairing from the same, reputable manufacturer in order to assure a secure fit and reliable clamping.
Yes, but as you've outlined above, the male part of the new pair might not work with my gimbal head, so then I'd have to be swapping back & forth. It's too bad they couldn't have standardized the AS system, and it's also too bad Canon didn't incorporate the grooves into the stock foot.
