Periscope Revolution

With the Venus Optics Laowa Periprobe Cine 24mm f/14 Macro 2:1 lens for Canon RF, you’ll discover entirely new ways to film within tight spaces and miniature settings that wouldn’t be possible without a special periscope tube. Side shots with the camera positioned directly above the subject, looking into insect habitats, following the hand of a person writing, dynamic shots in culinary films, amazing rotations and “passing” through objects – these are just some of the solutions you will achieve with the Laowa Periprobe. Wherever traditional glass won’t fit, you can use the periscope and, by positioning it close to the ground, take spectacular shots!

Dive into the macro world

The unusual design of the lens will allow you to discover entirely new ways of filming small or hard-to-reach objects. The Venus Optics Laowa Periprobe Cine 24mm f/14 Macro 2:1 offers a large reproduction scale (2:1) and a minimum focusing distance of just 2 cm. With its help, you can film insects in their natural habitat, tear through a thicket of leaves or discreetly peek into the hiding place of squirrels. The ability to focus at infinity will further facilitate the creation of the perfect composition.

Created with video makers in mind

Cine is the flagship series of film lenses from Venus Optics Laowa. So the Periprobe model couldn’t be without unique features that will be great for the world of video creators. The focus and aperture rings are equipped with 0.8 MOD gears. They are compatible with the most popular follow focus systems on the market. The third of the gear rings will help automate the rotational movement of the entire lens, opening up even more creative possibilities for creating exceptional shots. The manufacturer also took care of stepless adjustment. With it, you can smoothly and soundlessly change the aperture value during video recording.

Additional light source

With such a long lens, the amount of light reaching the sensor is significantly reduced. Having a dark aperture (T14), it is necessary to take care of good lighting of the set. However, the manufacturer has thought of everything! LEDs placed around the front lens will allow you to film and photograph even in total darkness. All you need to do is connect the lens to an external power source (such as a power bank), using the USB cable included in the kit. However, that’s not all! To give you even more control over your shots, you can reach for a special cable with a remote control to adjust the brightness level of the LEDs.

Water doesn’t scare him!

A pass through a stream of water poured into a glass, a visit to an aquarium or a POV shot from the perspective of a table on which flour is about to spill – any of these shots will be possible with the Venus Optics Laowa Periprobe Cine 24 mm f/14 Macro 2:1 lens. Its front element has been properly sealed to protect the device from moisture, dust and harsh weather conditions. Aquarium, product and culinary photography has just gained a new ally!

Innovative design

Inside the long, all-metal barrel are as many as 27 lenses, arranged in 19 groups. The 24mm focal length provides a field of view of 85°. Thanks to such parameters, not only the foreground objects, but also the scenery in which they are located will appear in your videos and photos. At the same time, you will retain a much greater amount of detail than with classic macro lenses. Precision of manufacture and the highest quality materials guarantee excellent imaging of the lens. The manual focus and aperture rings work extremely smoothly here, while putting up just the right amount of resistance needed to maintain an optimal level of precision.

Safe transport

As befits a representative of the professional Laowa Cine line, created specifically with filmmakers in mind, the kit could not lack a special transport case. In the precisely cut compartments you can fit all the elements of the set. To ensure the highest level of security, the suitcase is also equipped with special combination locks.
