The video clip is short but interesting, the BBC crew supposedly used an off-the-shelf Iphone lens for their custom 4K cam set-up. The lens looks custom or maybe its an iphone lens mounted in retro?

Note for people not located in the UK: due to location restrictions it was really a hassle for me to watch this clip in the US. My VPN that used to work on BBC, did not work this time, BBC has blacklisted most VPN services it turns out, so I ended up using a Chrome extension plug-in called Beebs to watch it.

Obviously Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens works much well than Frankencam,
especially in the following video of ants.

I wonder why some of those sample videos are so terribly dark (for example the 2nd half of the above ant video). Its LED ring light has variable intensity control and seems to be capable of producing much more light.gameasher wrote:Obviously Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens works much well than Frankencam,

Did the photographers purposely keep the light dim to avoid disturbing subjects?
Interesting $1400 bug eye view lens. The DPR review at Kickstarter seems pretty honest and detailed. I kind of want one, though I don't know if I would pay that much for such a specialist lens.

Pretty impressive by the BBC, I wonder which actual lens they used?
Anyone know?

My extreme-macro.co.uk site, a learning site. Your comments and input there would be gratefully appreciated.
I think it was in the night, and he didn't use the LED ring, but a torchzzffnn wrote:I wonder why some of those sample videos are so terribly dark (for example the 2nd half of the above ant video).
