A versatile technical camera offering both an apt range of movements and a portable form factor, the WRS-5005 from Cambo is a view camera designed for use with WTS/WDS lens panels as well as SLW rear digital back interface adapters. Well-suited for handheld shooting, this version of the camera is fitted with ergonomic ebony handgrips for comfortable, stable shooting.

The top of the camera also features a two-point accessory mount plate for attaching an optional viewfinder, iPhone holder, compendium shade, or shoe mount. Balancing a sleek size with deft control, this camera affords a versatile feature-set for precise image-making needs.
