The Laowa 24mm T14 2X Periprobe is a specialized cine lens in Cine L mount that expands creative possibilities for filmmakers and photographers. It combines a periscope-style front module, high magnification, and a cinema-grade build to capture close-up perspectives and shots in confined or challenging spaces.
The Periprobe’s periscope-style design enables immersive close-ups and inventive angles that would be difficult or impossible with conventional lenses. Additionally, its 2:1 magnification captures subjects at twice life-size for detailed macro imagery. The lens also supports full 360° rotation to create smooth rotational movements and creative video effects.
Filmmakers and photographers can use the Periprobe in a range of situations. For example, commercial filmmakers can capture product or subject details with striking macro perspectives. Product photographers will benefit from the 2:1 magnification when emphasizing texture and detail. Macro videographers can exploit the periscope modules to film through narrow gaps, corners, or tubes. Moreover, the waterproof front barrel and built-in LEDs expand use cases to wet environments and confined, low-light spaces.
