Laowa 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe

The 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe not only inherits all the great features from the 24mm T14 2x Probe lens, a new tube with periscope is now also included. The new 90° Periscope tip unlocks countless new exciting movement. The 85° AoV and a very close 2cm working distance help created the bug-eye perspective. The 2x magnification allows for capturing subjects of different sizes with details. Users could poke the long and waterproof barrel into a tight space and underwater to obtain a unique perspective. The LED Ring Lite provides an extra light source. Users could also switch the 90° periscope back to the 0° straight scope. The lens could rotate 360° along the axis by unlocking the orientation ring. Additional accessories can also be mounted at the tip of the lens through the 1/4 screw hole.

The 24mm T14 2x Periprobe includes (1) Main Unit, (1) 90° Module and (1) Direct View Module. The lens also includes: (1) white USB cable dimmer (with power adjustment), (1) black USB cable (without power adjustment), (1) protective case, (5) front and rear caps for all modules and the main unit.

Description

Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe is dedicatedly designed for Full Frame sensors. It hesitates all the features from Laowa 24mm f/14 2x Probe and adds a whole new periscope characteristic. The lens gives you a new perspective and improves flexibility in terms of setups and camera operation. 

comparison probe and periprobe

The 24mm T14 2x Periprobe includes (1) Main Unit, (1) 90° Module and (1) Direct View Module. Users can easily swap the modules based on application.

What shots Periprobe can do?

Users can point the camera up or down 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 waterproof housing for this shot.

 
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 from colliding. It is very time-consuming and pain for videographers to have this pre-shoot preparation. With Periprobe, you could simply travel through the tight space by rigging the cameras on sliders and tripods.

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 Periprobe as the camera is always a big hindrance. Users can now capture from a looking-up bug-eye perspective.   

 
periprobe - look up

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.

 
periprobe - look down

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

It is difficult for photographers to film close 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-up. With Periprobe, you could simply stick the lens tip to the ground.

How special Periprobe is?

periprobe -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. 

 
periprobe - interchangeable tube

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. 

periprobe - thread tip

The threaded tip allows for the mounting of accessories like lighting or provides an attachment point for stabilization.

 
periprobe - bug-eye perspective

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

 
periprobe - 2x magnification

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

 
periprobe - deep depth of field

The Periprobe has a wider perspective than other telephoto macro lenses and the aperture range starts from T14 to T40; therefore, it would have a greater depth of field at close distances. It is beneficial when shooting wildlife and in a studio as more information of the background can be included.

periprobe - long barrel

The long and tubular lens barrel makes itself more accessible to different subjects. With the 40cm/15.7” long barrel, you could poke it into different tight spaces like tree holes, Lego houses, etc. Users could also stay at a safe distance from the subjects.

 
periprobe - waterproof front barrel

The front barrel of the Periprobe is waterproof so users could make underwater shots without a housing to get unique shots that other lenses cannot do. Users could also make use of this feature to create a first-person view like pouring liquid on the lens.

For APS-C & M43 Users

periprobe - 0.7 focal reducer

The 24mm T14 2x Periprobe is designed for full-frame cameras. However, APS-C and Micro Four Thirds users can now pair up the lens with a 0.7x focal reducer which is dedicatedly designed for the probe lens. It maintains the perspective of the lens by reducing the crop from the APS-C and M43 sensors, while it boosts the light to f/10. Click Here to acquire more information about 0.7x focal reducer.
