We have a no-nonsense approach. If a product breaks due to a manufacturer defect, we will replace it without asking any questions. If we have any reason to believe that the product was put through unreasonably heavy usage, we will have to follow the manufacturer's standard warranty procedure. 

Find more info on proper care and use for each brand below. 

NiSi Care & Use

F-stop Care & Use

Leofoto

The manufacturer offers a 10-year limited warranty on all products and we extend that warranty to our customers. Please read the below very carefully, so you understand your position when something breaks or doesn’t work ideally anymore.

It is critical to understand that this warranty only applies to factory faults and not to standard wear and tear. Tripods are subject to a lot of gray areas in this regard as tripods used outdoors, particularly in sand and sea water, are subjected to extreme wear and tear. We will e.g. replace the affected part of your tripod if a carbon tube snaps or cracks without much pressure applied to it or if the apex breaks. We will not replace your tripod or the affected part if e.g. a joint locks up due to sand or salt build up or if a hinge becomes corroded or stiff/floppy and unserviceable due to corrosion or salt build up. 

In sum, if we see that you took good care of your tripod and something went wrong, we will go out of our way to fix or replace it for you. If we see that you dragged it through the mud (literally or metaphorically), then we are unlikely to fix/replace it for you. How you handle your tripod and take care of it, is all the difference between 3- or 20 years of service. 

The best of tripods will not last longer than 2/3 years if used regularly in the sea, INCORRECTLY, and never serviced. Always make sure to extend the lowest leg section first, so you keep the joints out of the water/sand. Always rinse with freshwater after use in the sea, wipe down with a wet cloth, leave extended to dry and ENSURE YOU KEEP THE HEAD AND APEX DRY. If your tripod’s joints start feeling sandy/gritty, open them up, give them a proper clean and lubrication and fine-tune the tension on the joints.

If travelling on dirt roads, ensure that your tripod is in its carry-bag when not in use.

Your tripod will not take care of itself – it is up to you to do so. All our tripods ship with an info-sheet on taking care of your tripod. We also offer a full tripod disassembly and service for R1000, including shipping both ways.

Revolution 2.0

Laowa's second generation probe is as game-changing as the original was. The designers listened to years of feedback from studios specialising in product ads and reinvented the lens that put them on the map.

A must-buy for every rental house, this is going to be a game changer for a lot of TV commercial DPs. Treat this as a professional version of the original probe lens. Stay tuned as Laowa continues to build the probe lens family with more exciting probe products to come.

Lens options

PERISCOPE

This new module will open up a new universe of what can be done with the probe. The offset places the camera far above the lens, keeping large, complex camera rigs out of the subject space.

35° VIEW MODULE

The go-to option for the micro-wide-angle perspective that makes small objects look giant. This is the product ad workhorse, but will also open up amazing new close-up shots in cinema.

0° DIRECT VIEW MODULE

The original direct view - well known, loved and responsible for countless of the best product ads shot over the last few years

THE ELEPHANT TRUNK

The new periscope module offsets the lens far away from the camera. The result is that the camera stays well out of the subject's space. It can be oriented normally and positioned well above the subject matter. This makes it ten times easier to get the shots that the probe is famous for.

35° VIEW MODULE

This is the optimal angle for making small products look giant; the classic micro wide angle perspective used for ads. It used to require complex offset of the entire motion control systems like sliders/dollies/robot arms, which also required a ton of space. The new 35 degree offset of the lens means you can keep your camera mount and motion control simple while achieving that famous look. This module is also brilliant for shooting intimate scenes of hands without having to mount a massive rig on an offset right in the actor's space - think smartphone interaction, writing etc.

T8 | Faster, Greener

Maximum T8 Aperture

The new probe is nearly two stops faster, which means you can reduce the amount of light required by nearly 4x.

In the production world, this means less money spent on gigantic lights and electricity to power them.

Longer and Adjustable Lens Barrel

With both an extended and adjustable tube, you can now effortlessly explore the macro world from new angles, swiftly adapting to any shooting scenario. Whether you’re capturing the intricate details of miniature worlds or the delicate textures of your subjects, the adjustable lens barrel empowers you to achieve the perfect shot.

USD Price Guarantee

We will match the practical USD price for any Laowa cinema lens. 

What does the practical price mean? Importing something is not just as simple as USD x spot exchange rate. There are costs involved to import products, whether you shop on BH or we order from the manufacturer, and these have to be factored in.

Example

Laowa Pro2be Full set - $8 699

If the USD/ZAR exchange rate is 18.5, then calculating the ZAR price is not just as simple as $8 699 x 18.5 = R160 931.50

  • If you swipe your card to pay for it with a retailer in another country, you will pay approximately 50 cents on the spot rate, so you'll get a much worse exchange rate than spot.
  • You'll have to pay shipping, which can easily be $100-$300 for large cine lenses.
  • You'll have to pay disbursement fees for the import clearance admin.

Because of all these additional charges, we add 3% to the price of the lens, so you can use the below formula to calculate our guaranteed price -

USD Price x FX Spot Rate x 1.03

Pro2be Example (using 18.5 as example FX rate)

8699 x 18.5 x 1.03 = R165 759.45 ex VAT

Please keep in mind that this is a two-way street. If our advertised price is higher than this, you have the right to ask for a lower price. However, if our advertised price is lower than this because of a sudden change in the USD/ZAR fx rate, we reserve the right to increase the price on new orders. Displayed pricing is fixed on in-stock items.
