product details

The Laowa Probe, crafted by Venus Optics, is a highly specialized, single-focal-length probe solution that blends macro precision, novel physical design, and robust cine-level usability. Three distinct versions – Direct, 35°, and Periscope – are ideal for creative framing in product, tabletop, fluid dynamics, and high-impact, ultra-close cinematography. All three have a single focal length of 24mm. The Pro2be offers a maximum T8 aperture, 2X magnification, and waterproof distance of 36.6cm, pairing perfectly with high-speed cameras and motion-control systems. The distinctive tubular and smartly-twisted lens barrels offer maximum flexibility to explore new perspectives and new heights. Available for rental or subrental at Cine Visuals.

Handling & Adaptability

The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
