Sure, an Arca-Swiss plate will fit. There's a tripod screw socket on the
base of the grip. Also, I think that the grip itself will clamp into the
Arca Swiss jaws. Of course, it won't dovetail, but I sometimes fit my Leica
M6's into my B1 ballhead by their grip plate.
The Uni-Grip grip has a metal plate, so it should take the stresses of an
Arca Swiss jaw clamp OK.
Be careful that you don't think that a Leica M grip will work on an OM.
Leica M's have their tripod socket on the end of the baseplate.
Look here for an example of the Uni-Grip.

Hi Skip,
Does it look like an Arca Swiss type plate will fit the grip? As some
people
on the list have mentioned, a battery-less Winder will also work as just a
grip, but the thinner base of the PhotoEquip grip looks like it was made
for
OM's. The photo of the grip on a Leica makes me think the grip would be
perfect for our Oly's.
