Sometimes the coolest starfighter shots don’t come from giant studios, they come from clever camera nerds with the right gear.

Using the new Probe Zoom Macro Lens from Laowa ($3,499.00 – $21,999.00), Youtuber “Macro Room” filmed a tiny X-Wing fighter on an epic trench-run-style journey through a maze of obstacles. As the camera glides behind the miniature ship, the probe lens’ ultra-wide field of view and low distortion create the illusion of a full-scale space battle, only this one is happening inches from the camera.

The Laowa probe zoom system (including the 15-35mm T12 and 15-24mm T8) is built for shots most lenses simply can’t capture. Its long tubular design can slip into tight spaces, its 110.5° field of view keeps everything dramatic, and interchangeable modules, including a periscope option, open the door to some seriously wild filmmaking angles.

The result? A tiny X-Wing flight that somehow feels huge! Check it out!
