Laowa Pro2be Interchangeable bayonet - Nikon Z

The Laowa Pro2be Interchangeable bayonet is a precision-machined accessory designed to maximize the versatility of your macro cinematography toolkit. It allows you to rapidly adapt any of the three specialized Laowa Pro2be 24mm T8 2x Probe Lens modules—including the Direct View, 35° view, and 90° Periscope variations—to any professional full-frame Nikon Z-mount camera body.

Engineered with rigid tolerances to eliminate micro-movements on set, this user-swappable bayonet can be installed in just a few simple steps without requiring a trip to a service center. By maintaining the lens's native full-frame sensor coverage, the mount ensures a secure, vignette-free connection so you can focus entirely on capturing immersive, high-magnification perspective shots.

Product Features in Detail

Universal Pro2be Trinity Compatibility
This interchangeable mount is engineered to fit seamlessly onto the rear housing of all three distinct optical configurations in the Pro2be lineup. Whether you are using the straight Direct View, the angled 35° View for low-slung perspectives, or the modular 90° Periscope for overhead snake-cam shots, this single bayonet adapts the entire lens ecosystem to your camera body.

Native Full-Frame Sensor Coverage
The mechanical architecture of this EF mount is precision-crafted to perfectly preserve the Pro2be’s massive, large-format image circle. It ensures that the incoming light transmission is entirely unobstructed, eliminating internal mechanical vignetting or corner shading when filming on full-frame cinema sensors or DSLR camera bodies.

Cinema-Grade Mechanical Tolerance
Built to withstand the rigorous demands of professional movie sets, the mount features a robust, heavy-duty metallic construction. The bayonet is machined with ultra-tight tolerances to ensure a rock-solid, wobble-free connection with your camera’s lens port, preventing micro-movements that could disrupt critical macro focus pulling or motorized slide movements.

Rapid User-Swappable Installation
You don’t need to send your lens to a specialized technician or service center to adapt it for a new camera system. The modular design enables camera operators or assistants to quickly swap the rear mount right on the camera cart using basic tools in a few simple steps, saving invaluable time during tight production schedules.

Maintained Optical Performance & Back Focus
Venus Optics builds this mount to strict physical depth standards, matching the exact flange focal distance required by the Nikon Z standard. This precision engineering ensures that your probe lens maintains its native optical properties, edge-to-edge sharpness, and accurate barrel-marking calibrations when pulling focus across the 2x macro range.

Future-Proof Production Versatility
Investing in an interchangeable mount system protects your high-end lens asset from becoming obsolete when switching camera platforms. By converting a mirrorless Pro2be lens into a native EF-mount optic, you can effortlessly deploy it across industry-standard production cameras, rental house packages, and traditional production environments.
