These Arca-style QR clamps work fine on the clamp side of things, but the screws are a terrible accident waiting to happen. The screw does not have a conical head, as would be customary for this application. The heads are more pan-like, with a slight bevel to allow them to center themselves into the clamp's center hole, which is clearly designed for a screw with a conical head. The idea, as best I can tell, was to allow the screw to be used as either countersunk from the top or against a flat surface from the bottom. The problem with this design is that there isn't enough material holding the head to the screw. With almost any other drive type, this might have been OK, but the hexagonal recess for the Allen wrench is as deep as the head itself and as wide as the diameter of the non-threaded part of the screw, leaving very little to hold things together. The result is that of the four clamps I bought, I broke the screws for three of them. I ended up using some conical 1/4-20 screws I had on hand. I've attached a photo showing the three broken screws (bottom); the surviving intact screw (top right); and the type of screw that Andoer should have included (top left).
