I have a surplus quick-release clamp and want to buy a matching camera plate. The clamp is about 2.5 inches square. Can anyone identify the system and the correct plate type?

That is a Manfrotto 577 clamp and it uses the 501PL sliding plate... it was used on video heads, but there's no reason it can't be used for other purposes as well.

This appears to be a Manfrotto 577 quick-release adapter/clamp. It takes the Manfrotto 501PL sliding plate. That plate is commonly used with Manfrotto video heads, but the clamp can also be used for other camera support setups as long as the mounting matches your gear.
