P+S Technik T-Rex Superscope

Image Fidelity & Focus

The P+S Technik T-Rex Superscope system retains cinematic fidelity, delivering sharp detail with expressive depth of field, depending on the paired optic. Flare, contrast, and bokeh characteristics vary with the chosen lens, though the relay system maintains consistent quality. The ability to rotate 360° around its barrel gives filmmakers dynamic control over framing. Contrast is natural and adaptable under different lighting.

Handling & Adaptability

The T-Rex is a modular system, with interchangeable probe attachments, straight or angled barrels, and the ability to integrate with cine lenses. It is much larger than newer probe systems but more versatile, often requiring studio rigging. Its adaptability makes it a staple in tabletop and VFX cinematography.

Flare & Bokeh

Depending on the paired lens, flare is expressive, with potential for blooming highlights, and bokeh is subdued but can appear cinematic in close-focus situations.

Cinematic Heritage

Introduced in the early 2000s, the T-Rex evolved from P+S Technik’s experience with specialized optics and miniaturized perspectives. It became a staple in commercials and effects-heavy productions, offering shots previously achievable only with CGI or miniatures.
