Laowa Pro2be 24mm T8 2X Macro Probe Lens (Direct View Module) PL

Laowa Pro2be 24 mm T8 2× Macro Probe Lens – Direct View Module, PL mount opens creative pathways unreachable by standard cine glass. Part of a three-perspective family, this straight variant keeps the horizon flat for linear dolly passes and robotic moves. The 507 mm shaft (≈ 50.8 cm) weaves through ventilation slots, pastry layers or engine bays and can submerge to 36.6 cm thanks to an internal seal. 2× magnification at just 4 mm working distance turns pollen grains or PCB traces into widescreen vistas, while the 24 mm focal length and 85° diagonal field retain environmental context.

Precision optics—33 elements in 24 groups with HR and ED glass—feed a 43.2 mm image circle for full-frame digital and 8KUHD high-resolution sensors. A 10-blade iris sweeps from T8 to T40, crafting rich bokeh or razor-thin depth. Lens breathing is minimal for focus racks. 150° focus and 50° aperture throws on 0.8 MOD gears keep pulls repeatable on robots,dollies or handheld rigs.

The aluminium barrel weighs 1.04 kg and measures Ø 30.4 mm, balancing on gimbals, sliders crane extensions, FPV rigs and high speed moco rigs. A rugged stainless tip accepts filters or a dive hood, and an internal matte black baffle suppresses veiling flare for punchy contrast even with rim lights grazing the lens. The native PL mount ships factory-shimmed for precise flange depth yet swaps easily to EF, RF, L, F, Z or E using optional kits, aligning multi-camera workflows.

From crawling through éclairs and circuit boards to tracking reptiles at ground level, Laowa Pro2be Direct View lands shots impossible for conventional glass. Supplied caps, shims and a custom hard case keep the probe mission-ready on location.
