Two Lenses, Full Macro Perspective
The 0° (direct view) and 90° (periscope) probe zoom lenses together cover 95% of probe shooting angles available on the market. The 90° lens features a 360° rotating ring for flexible horizontal adjustments, while the right-angle design enhances camera movement flexibility and framing options, unlocking endless macro creativity with adjustable focal lengths.
The 90° probe zoom lens incorporates a newly designed square front element to improve the RI (relative illumination) and reduce light loss. The simplified prism structure and PET silver-coated reflective layer enhance reflectivity, ensuring a constant T8 aperture and consistent brightness across all focal lengths.
Note: Images captured with the 90° lens require mirror correction. 

360° Periscope, the X-tract 360° probe lens unlocks three shooting modes for creative flexibility
• Front Mode (0°): 30cm probe shaft moves in a 55cm arc for smooth vertical shots in tight spaces.
• Oblique Mode (0-180°): Dual rotation rings enable Dutch angles and horizon adjustments without quality loss.
• Rear Mode (180°): Foldable design with 360° rotation for dramatic "barrel roll" effects in confined areas.

Modular System for Easy Detachment
The specially designed inter-lens mount system delivers exceptional flexibility for detachable kits, enabling seamless transitions from pre-production to on-location shooting. It accommodates diverse team requirements while providing expanded framing options.A modular, detachable version is also available, it offers greater flexibility and reliable support for creative workflows.
*Note: The detachable model cannot be upgraded to a complete unit. The fixed model cannot be disassembled or interchanged.

Masterful Optical Balance for Immaculate Visuals
X-tract 18-28mm T8 0° lens features 7 high-refractive-index (HRI) lenses and 6 extra-low-dispersion (ED) lenses, striking an optimal balance between size and weight while minimizing chromatic aberrations, distortions, and optical flaws common in probe lenses. Its innovative differential distribution of HRI lens delivers prime-level image quality and accurate color temperature, effectively reducing the yellowish tint commonly seen in other probe lenses. Distortion is kept within ±2% across the entire zoom range, with near-zero distortion and focus breathing at 24mm, ensuring precise rendering of intricate micro-details.

More Dimensions, Greater Creativity
The combination of prism structure and 360° rotating ring, offering an additional dimension for creative adjustments and providing a more immersive macro experience. The entire series features a smooth 300° focus throw, tested for high-frequency durability and micron-level assembly precision, enabling precise focus shifts and more flexible depth of field control. The X-tract lenses feature a par-focal design, locking the focus during zooming. Whether capturing subtle movements or quickly changing focal lengths, the focus remains sharp, delivering the classic Hitchcock dolly zoom effect even in macro shooting.

Ultimate Protection, Ready for Any Challenge
Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, the lens is lightweight yet robust. A 25μm anodized coating enhances the body’s hardness, improving abrasion resistance and corrosion protection. Tested under extreme temperatures from -30°C to 70°C, it ensures stability and durability in challenging shooting environments. With IP57-rated dust and water resistance, the lens body is waterproof to over 28 cm. The front lens element features a hydrophobic anti-fog coating, reducing water and fog accumulation for consistently clear imagery.
