Case studies
The DZOFILM X-tract 0° is ideal for -up shots, macro photography, or cinematic sequences requiring distortion-free images. Its straight construction ensures the best optical quality.
The DZOFILM X-tract 90°, with its 90° periscopic vision, allows you to capture shots under furniture, on the ceiling or at ground level, while keeping the operator out of frame.
The DZOFILM X-tract 360° is perfect for effects like barrel rolls or Dutch tilts. Its rotating head offers creative results without the need for complex motorized rigs.
Wildlife or industrial documentaries
Thanks to its minimum focusing distance of 6 mm and its periscopic system, the kit is suitable for inaccessible or delicate environments, such as insect habitats or industrial machinery.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What is the difference between the 0°, 90° and 360° modules?
The 0° module is a straight lens, designed for optimal image quality. The 90° is an angled periscope, ideal for filming in tight spaces. The 360° allows for complete image rotation, perfect for creative effects.
2. Is this kit compatible with mounts other than PL?
By default, each lens is in PL, but an EF option is planned, offering compatibility with other systems.
