Laowa 24mm T14 2X Periprobe (Cine) - Nikon Z

The Laowa 24mm T14-40 Full Frame 2x PeriProbe for Nikon Z-mount is a revolutionary specialized lens designed to capture perspectives that were previously impossible. Combining the capabilities of a macro probe with a 90° periscope attachment, this lens allows cinematographers to navigate tight spaces, slide through narrow openings, and even shoot underwater—all while capturing a unique "bug-eye" view with a broad 85° field of view.

The PeriProbe features an interchangeable tip system, allowing you to swap between a straight probe and a 90° periscope. This versatility, combined with a 360° rotation mechanism, enables complex spinning shots and "periscope" movements that add a high-end, immersive feel to product commercials, nature documentaries, and creative music videos.

Product Features in Detail

The "Bug-Eye" Perspective
Unlike standard macro lenses that have a narrow view, the 24mm focal length provides a wide 85° angle. This allows you to get extremely close to a subject while still seeing the entire environment behind it. This "bug-eye" effect is a staple in high-end commercial work, making small objects look larger than life.

90° Periscope Versatility
The periscope attachment allows the camera to remain horizontal while the lens "looks" down, up, or sideways. This is invaluable for shooting inside miniature sets, through the gaps of machinery, or directly at the surface of a liquid while keeping the camera body at a safe and stable angle.

Immersive Underwater Capability
The front barrel is entirely waterproof, enabling you to transition from air to water in a single shot. This opens up creative possibilities for beverage commercials (shooting inside a glass) or nature films capturing insects on the water's surface without the bulk of a traditional underwater housing.

Dynamic Spinning Shots
The orientation ring can be unlocked to allow the lens to rotate 360° around its own axis. When paired with the periscope tip, this creates a dramatic "spinning" effect around a product, adding a level of energy and professional polish to your cinematography that is difficult to achieve with a standard rig.

Built-in LED Illumination
Because the lens is so long and often used in tight, dark spaces, lighting can be a challenge. The built-in LEDs at the tip provide a clean "ring-light" effect directly on the subject, powered via a standard USB cable, ensuring your macro details are always well-exposed.

Deep Depth of Field (T14-T40)
With an aperture range starting at T14, this lens is designed for maximum depth of field. This is critical for macro work, where the focus plane is naturally very thin. At T14 or T40, you can keep more of your subject—and its environment—in sharp focus, creating a more detailed and realistic image.
