GLOBAL DYNAMICS UNITED Armored RF 16mm & 50mm Autofocus 16mm
Encased in billet aluminum armor with an integrated lens hood, this 16mm f/1.8 prime eliminates external switches and focus rings to survive high-vibration drone and vehicle rigs. Its lightweight 472g build and full-frame Canon RF mount pair with internal STM motors for fully remote focus and iris control. This lens is best for aerial cinematographers and vehicle-mounted camera operators who need a wide, fast aperture without risking mechanical failure from physical impacts.
