The Benro MPB86C 501-Style Quick Release Plate with Rear Arca Clamp is an advanced hybrid mounting solution designed for creators who frequently switch between photo and video setups. Engineered from CNC-machined aluminum with a compact, low-profile footprint, this plate offers exceptional strength while maintaining the lightweight efficiency demanded by mobile workflows. Its dimensions of approximately 3.38 1.97 ensure generous surface contact for stability, while the plates slim height keeps the camera close to the support head for improved balance, especially with mirrorless systems or lightweight rigs. At the core of its design is the unique combination of a standard 501-style quick-release interface paired with a rear Arca-Swiss clampgiving you seamless compatibility across two of the most widely used mounting standards.
This dual-system functionality makes it easy to move your camera between fluid video heads, gimbals, cages, sliders or Arca-type clamps without changing plates. Whether youre transitioning from a tripod to a camera cage or from a video head to a monopod, the MPB86C eliminates downtime and simplifies complex workflows. Stability is enhanced by the anti-twist rubber grip strips embedded into the top of the plate. These provide strong traction against the camera base or lens foot, preventing unwanted rotation during pans, tilts or rapid motion. The plate includes both -20 and -16 mounting threads, enabling compatibility with a wide range of cameras, lenses and accessories.
This versatility allows the MPB86C to serve not only as a primary plate but also as a core component in modular, multi-rig setups. For creators seeking flexibility, the rear Arca clamp opens additional possibilities for mounting accessories directly to the plate, enabling side-attached components such as monitor arms, wireless transmitters or articulating mounts. This makes the plate highly valuable in professional environments where efficiency and integration are key. Durable yet lightweight, the Benro MPB86C is ideal for hybrid photographers, videographers and content creators who rely on both Arca-type and 501-style systems.
Its precision engineering, secure grip and cross-platform compatibility make it a powerful upgrade that enhances stability, speed and overall workflow performance.
