Benro QR Plate for RoadTripPro

The Benro QR Plate for RoadTripPro is a highly innovative, multi-functional camera and smartphone mounting solution. Originally supplied as the standard-issue plate for the Benro RoadTrip Pro series travel tripods, this versatile adapter is engineered to pull double duty for creators who frequently switch between professional camera gear and mobile content creation.

The defining feature of the PMM70 is its hybrid design: it functions as a standard, low-profile camera plate that transforms instantly into a secure, spring-loaded smartphone holder. Built with a native Arca-type dovetail profile, it drops directly into a massive ecosystem of compatible ball heads and clamps. For gear without an Arca receiver—such as entry-level monopods or table-top stands—the plate incorporates secondary, independent 1/4"-20 threaded ports on both its base and side profile, allowing for horizontal or vertical mounting on virtually any standard photographic stud.

Product Features in Detail

Transformative Fold-Out Phone Clamp
Built directly into the core of the plate is a hidden, spring-loaded smartphone cradle that folds outward when needed. This specialized mechanical design eliminates the need to carry a separate, bulky plastic phone mount in your gear bag while out in the field.

Vertical Smartphone Configuration
To engage mobile shooting mode, simply screw the bracket vertically onto a monopod or tripod stud using the dedicated 1/4"-20 thread located on the side panel. The adjustable jaws expand smoothly to grip and securely lock down most modern smartphones.

Integrated Mobile Accessory Shoe
Unfolding the smartphone cradle automatically exposes a functional on-board cold shoe mount on top of the assembly. This expansion slot allows mobile journalists and vloggers to mount compact LED panels, wireless audio receivers, or shotgun microphones directly above the phone.

Universal Arca-Type Cross-Compatibility
Beyond working flawlessly with the RoadTrip Pro tripod lineup, the plate features a precision-machined Arca-type dovetail base, allowing it to slide into any standard quick-release clamp configuration from various brands.

Horizontal Camera Mounting Hub
When configured horizontally for camera work, the plate secures to the base of your mirrorless or DSLR housing using the included tool-free 1/4"-20 D-ring screw. An additional 1/4"-20 female thread on the plate’s bottom plate enables it to stack directly onto simple threaded monopods.

Dual-Screw Anti-Fall Security Protection
The underside of the dovetail track is outfitted with two metal safety stop screws. These pins act as a reliable mechanical barrier, catching on the edges of your tripod clamp to prevent your expensive camera or phone from accidentally sliding out if the main locking knob is bumped or partially opened.
