SmallRig RA-L65 Lantern Softbox Quick Release-One Step, 26in Light Modifier with Fabric Barn Doors, Softbox Diffuser for SmallRig Video Light 120B, 120D, 220B, 220D and Other Bowens Mount Light-3754

This light diffuser is well built and very easy to deploy: push down on the unit and watch through the round light mount ring as you hook the central looping brace to the two large, flat hooks at the bottom of the unit. The manual says this takes three seconds, which is about right.

This product is of great quality and sturdy. Comes in nice packaging. I am a professional photographer and i can tell the light output quality and diffusion is really good.

This is a lantern/globe style softbox that will cast a nice even glow into the entire room with no harsh shadows. At 26 inches this is a pretty common size for a lantern, you can find bigger ones but you most often see them this size. Being globe shaped the light basically goes everywhere filling all the nooks and crannies of the room with an even light. They also include a large shade you can attach to the light to limit the spread, similarly to barn doors. There are lots of velcro attach points all around the globe so you should be able to get whatever blocking effect you want, including covering the globe all the way around so the light only goes straight down.

I use this lantern for product photography and I am very pleased with the soft light that delivers.

These are a must-have for your SmallRig lights!

What an amazing product this is compared to the competitors in the market. I havent seen such easy way to set up a lantern softbox in the market. Just get this whoever is looking to buy a lantern, dont look for other products. I have been ordering 4/5 different softboxes now but this one just beats the hell out of everyone. Definitely 10 star rating.

I honestly thought this would be far more difficult to set and use, but it has been amazing. Easy to setup. Easy to use. Incredible shaping of light. I would absolutely recommend.

Muy bueno

This is a unique light modifier that is a new addition to my equipment. Its omni directional so it really works well for fill light and to raise the overall ambient light of the room you are working in. Its very easy to assemble and attach to your Bowens type mount, and it feels durable and well made. The fabric barn doors offer very unique creative opportunities, I love dramatic and surreal lighting in my work and I think this modifier will fit into my collection well.

If youve never used a lantern, youre in for a treat. It spreads light evenly to fill out a room or light subjects. It is a staple in a film makers kit. They come in a variety of sizes, and medium sized ones (like this) are fantastic - you can fit them just about anywhere.
