Versatile lantern softbox for soft lighting effects. The diffusion fabric produces soft, omnidirectional light without affecting the color or CRI value of the light source. It creates a 360° spherical and large-area uniform soft light effect. The lantern softbox is equipped with a Bowens speed ring, making it compatible with a variety of lighting fixtures for photo and video shoots. The diffusion material is securely attached to the speed ring, allowing for quick and easy setup and takedown. The included 4-piece black fabric can be easily applied to shield and shape the light as needed. It offers a wide range of applications: portrait photography, live streaming, commercial video production, narrative filmmaking, outdoor shoots, and video production. The softbox provides even illumination. It is an essential piece of equipment in any photography studio, ensuring balanced distribution of flash light for even lighting of a set while reducing unwanted light spill and creating a softer flash to minimize harsh shadows.
