The NEW Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe. This full-frame powerhouse inherits most of the renowned Laowa Probe lens characteristics but with a twist. It now comes with a 90° periscope-like front tip for creating formerly impossible shots and makes setups more flexible. The lens is also able to do 360° helix rotation to create one-of-a-kind motions. Furthermore, it has a 1/4-inch thread at the front for attaching accessories such as extra lighting or magic arms. It comes with Arri PL, Canon EF, Canon R, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Sony E and L mount. 

Periprobe is a very functional tool that frees your creativity. It is not barely poking into the water or sliding in and sliding out. There are a lot more usages that you can explore with this lens. 

Periscope

Users can hold up or down the camera with the periprobe to create a periscope perspective. It is useful when you shoot something unreachable like the tree hole at 7’ tall or the crab hiding in an underwater cave. It also makes your set-ups easier since you do not need a big tank and a waterproof housing for the shots. 

Stay close to the ground.

It is difficult for photographers to film closely to the ground as there are always restrictions in set-ups, like the cameras and the lens itself are always obstacles. Some users would dig a hole in the ground for the cameras or need a more complicated pre-shoot set-ups. With Periprobe, you could simply stick the lens tip

to the ground.

Face up & face down

With 2x magnification, 85° wide AoV and close working distance, users could create a special close up face up and face down shot that other lenses cannot do.

45° tilt-up

Tilting up is never a rare perspective you can see in galleries. However, shooting something very small and close to the ground is nearly impossible without a Periprobe as the camera is always a big hindrance. Users can now capture from a looking up bug-eye perspective.  

Travel through tight space

It is nearly impossible to travel between objects that are close to each other unless you make a complicated mechanism with programs to move the objects back and forward to prevent collision. It is very time consuming and a pain for videographers to have these pre-shoot preparations. With Periprobe, you could simply travel through the tight space by rigging the cameras on sliders and tripods.

Spinning shots

Users could unrelease the orientation ring to spin the lens along the axis which could create special movements. 

360° rotation

Users could use the clutch mechanism to unlock the orientation ring for perspective adjustment and different motion movements. The 0.8 Mod gear allows users to install the focus gear for smooth perspective movements. 

0° & 90° interchangeable lens front

There is a direct view module included in the lens set. Users could switch back to the probe perspective with a few simple installation steps.  

Bug-eye perspective

The 24mm T14 2x Periprobe has a wider 85° perspective than other macro lenses in which more background information can be captured. The lens can focus really close to the subjects i.e. working distance=0.8inch/2cm at 2x magnification. It makes everything bigger than life-size with great details to create a stunning ‘bug-eye perspective’.

2x magnification

With the 2x maximum magnification and 2cm minimum working distance, users would have higher flexibility to shoot subjects of different sizes. More textures and details can be captured with higher magnification.
