Hi.
I have Nikon Z6 and lenses, heaviest one which I use frequently is 300mm PF. I left my tripod at my friends house when I visited him and will pick it when I will travel again.
Meanwhile I am in need to using tripod and I have Mofoto A350 which I got few years back and never used it. But it is missing Quick Release Plate. As this is temp setup, I want to go with cheaper option. I can find some options like this - https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Release-Hand-Adjustable-Stainless-Removable/dp/B06Y65G5P1/
My doubt here is, are these screw universal in size and can fit into Z6 ?
Thanks

Yes, the industry standard for a camera mount screw is 1/4"x20 which matches the socket on the bottom of the Z8 and pretty much every other camera and is what's on the plate you linked. There are larger cameras that require a 3/8"x16 mounting screw though inexpensive adapters exist to support those as well for a few bucks.

That plate will mount, but it's a pretty small plate for a camera the size of a Z8 so for more stability you might look for a bit wider plate like a 70mm wide plate which are available from many brands. [edit] I see you're looking for a Manfrotto and not Arca Swiss plate in which case the 40mm plate will likely have to do.
