Hi Robert, I'm not sure where you are getting information that the Arca-Swiss clamp and plate is a big-un. I have half a dozen Andoer CL-50LS Quick Release Clamp with its Quick Release Plates from Amazon UK

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Andoer-Aluminum-Adjustable-Knob-Type-Compatible/dp/B078H83PXC/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Andoer+CL-50LS+Quick+Release+Clamp+and+Quick+Release+Plate&qid=1631864099&qsid=262-6865585-4733308&sr=8-1&sres=B078H83PXC%2CB0799L9X1J%2CB07DQFPZHC%2CB07DQBFY4T%2CB016D6AM16%2CB00RFLU5IY%2CB07DQHZCYT%2CB01JOZ8STG%2CB078H9WNGV%2CB07DQK7B62%2CB0799KZ5ZS%2CB078HBPR7W%2CB08PC3HRXT&srpt=CAMERA_SUPPORT

I did look at the Smallrig one with the A-S clamp bonded to the 501 style plate but I did not want it as it is at 90 degrees to the 501 rather than inline with it. I need all the A-S plates that are on my cameras to be "inline" so i can quickly switch from one rig to another e.g. gimbal to tripod / monopod with a "501" type pan and tilt video head atop.
