Jobu Design WAA-3 Wide Angle Adapter Bracket 3
Mount Any Camera to Your Gimbal — Fast, Flexible, and Secure
The WAA-3 Wide Angle Adapter Bracket is a completely redesigned solution for mounting camera bodies directly to a gimbal head—perfect for photographers and videographers using smaller lenses, compact setups, or equipment without a tripod foot.
With improved ergonomics, reduced weight, and greater versatility, the WAA-3 makes it easy to switch between landscape and portrait orientations, while also doubling as a monopod tilt head thanks to its integrated 3/8"-16 base.
Why Use the WAA-3?
Gimbal heads are typically designed for long lenses with tripod feet—but what about wide-angle lenses, compact primes, or video rigs?
The WAA-3 solves this by allowing you to:
-
Mount camera bodies directly to a gimbal head
-
Use smaller lenses without tripod feet
-
Achieve correct balance and positioning
-
Quickly switch between shooting orientations
-
Adapt your setup for video, action cameras, or lightweight rigs
Whether you're shooting landscapes, wildlife, or video, the WAA-3 gives you full control over setups that would otherwise be difficult to stabilise.
Key Features
Universal Arca-Swiss Compatibility

Precision Tension Control
Equipped with a soft-touch tension knob, allowing fine adjustment of holding power for smooth movement or firm locking.
