The Laowa PeriProbe FF 24mm T14 2X Macro Probe Cine Lens evolves the probe lens concept with its innovative dual-module system, offering interchangeable direct and periscopic viewing options through a distinctive 24mm 'bug-eye' wide-angle design. This specialized cinematographic tool combines super macro capabilities with precision-geared controls, including unique rotational movements, making it ideal for creative exploration in challenging environments and confined spaces.
Key Specifications
The PeriProbe advances specialized cinematography through its innovative dual-module system. Each module harnesses the same distinctive 85° 'bug eye' perspective and 2X macro capabilities, with one providing traditional forward-facing views while the other enables 90-degree periscopic shooting. What sets this system apart is its comprehensive geared control system, featuring a unique rotation mechanism with integrated clutch lock - essential for precise motion control work and dynamic camera movements.
The lens's wide-angle optical design creates immersive perspectives at extremely close distances. With a minimum working distance of just 2cm and its extended 40cm probe barrel, cinematographers can explore confined spaces while maintaining safe distance from subjects. The waterproof front barrel section further expands creative possibilities, allowing for distinctive underwater shots and unique through-liquid perspectives.
Notable features include
The PeriProbe's innovative design transforms cinematographic possibilities in confined spaces and challenging environments.

Users can release an orientation ring to unlock the 360° lens rotation and create special movements.
With 2x magnification, users would have higher flexibility to shoot subjects of different sizes. More textures and details can be captured with higher magnification.
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.
The Lens Support (for 15mm LWS Rod) is specially designed for 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe for extra stabilisation of the lens barrel. It is compatible with both direct view module and periscope module. It is not usable on the original Probe and only available on special request.
