Life is better when you stop to take in the little details. That’s why you should play with a probe lens whilst creating content this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the recent release of the iPhone 13 Pro, and Apple<\/a>‘s Shot on iPhone Challenge<\/a>, it’s all about macro right now. The allure of seeing the weft and warp of a piece of cloth, or every pigment in a cat’s eye, has taken hold of many creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those of you who want to explore this in video, and perhaps haven’t invested in the latest iPhone, it’s time to get friendly with the probe lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A probe lens is an elongated barrel that attaches to the lens of a camera. It offers a unique perspective and extreme close up shots. As the name suggests, you are able to get up close and personal with your subject, whilst maintaining a “bug-eyed” wide angle image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a speciality piece of equipment, a lens like this tends to be quite high end. This means its price points generally aren’t on the accessible side. However, if you’re a professional videographer looking to branch out, this is a seriously cool bit of kit to have in your arsenal. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Is a Probe Lens?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
