Laowa Pro2be 24mm T8 2X Probe Lens (Periscope Module) - (Cine) PL

Laowa Pro2be 24mm T8 2x Probe Lens (Periscope Module) – 360° rotatable periscope for flexible macro angles

The Laowa Pro2be 24mm T8 2x Probe Lens (Periscope Module) delivers flexible macro cinematography through a fully rotatable periscope design. It rotates 360 degrees along the lens barrel, so you can change viewing angles without repositioning the camera. This capability opens practical access to overhead, underneath, and obstacle-hidden perspectives for precise close-up work.

Built for detailed macro capture

With 2x magnification and a T8 aperture, the Pro2be Periscope Module captures close-ups with extended depth of field, which helps keep more of a subject in focus when shooting small or textured elements. Furthermore, its minimal distortion and excellent corner-to-corner sharpness preserve image detail across the frame.

Durable design and integrated lighting

The lens features a long, narrow probe and a slender waterproof front barrel to move through tight or complex environments and to withstand spill-prone or submerged setups. Additionally, the built-in LED ring light provides even close-up illumination and ships with a power cable, so you can maintain consistent lighting in confined or low-light conditions.

Cine-ready mounting and workflow

Laowa houses the Pro2be in a cine-grade body with a PL mount, allowing it to integrate smoothly into professional film sets and demanding workflows. As a result, cinematographers can pair this probe lens with cine cameras and rigs that rely on PL-mount glass.

Key features

• 2x magnification for high-detail macro cinematography.
• Fully rotatable periscope module enabling 360-degree rotation along the lens barrel for flexible angle control.
• T8 aperture for controlled light transmission and extended depth of field in close-ups.
• Waterproof front barrel suitable for submerged or spill-prone setups.
• Built-in LED ring light for even close-up illumination; includes power cable.

Use cases and shooting scenarios

Use the Pro2be to reach shots that conventional lenses cannot. For example, film overhead reveals, underside perspectives, and scenes around obstacles without moving the camera. It suits tabletop, product, and wildlife cinematography where detailed close-ups and consistent lighting matter. Cinematographers and directors can use it for dynamic tracking shots, revealing takes, and any sequence that benefits from a long, narrow probe and precise angle control.
