Mini X-Wing Trench Run Shot With Laowa Probe Lens is Mesmerizing

YouTuber Macro Room recently shared a slick little video featuring a miniature X-Wing fighter blasting through a trench-run-style obstacle course, and the result looks surprisingly cinematic.

Using the Laowa Probe Zoom Macro Lens system, which ranges from $3,499.00 to $21,999.00, the camera glides right behind the tiny ship as it weaves through tight passages.

The probe zoom setup, including the 15–35mm T12 and 15–24mm T8 lenses, is built for shots most lenses simply can’t capture thanks to its long tubular body that slips into narrow spaces and its massive 110.5° field of view that keeps everything looking dramatic without heavy distortion.

Add in interchangeable modules like a periscope attachment and filmmakers suddenly have a toolkit for some seriously creative angles.

This is a great reminder that with the right lens and a little imagination, you can turn a tabletop setup into something that feels straight out of Star Wars.
