The NEW Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe for Sony FE. This full-frame powerhouse inherits most of the renowned Laowa Probe lens characteristics but with a twist. It now comes with a 90-degree periscope-like front tip for creating formerly impossible shots and makes setups more flexible. The lens is also able to do 360-degree 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.
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 waterproof housing for the shots.
Stay close to the ground.
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.
Face up & face down
With 2x magnification, 85-degree 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-degree 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.
