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

Easy to set up, easy to break down.

Easy set-up. Seems to be well built. As of now, Ive only used it in an indoor studio set-up. Looking forward to using it on location.

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.

Just as fast to setup as an umbrella - push, click in place, put on the mount. Done. Lantern lights are amazing lighting modifiers - even, diffuse light, quick setup and take-down. This version by SmallRig is pro-quality all the way. The ribs are supported along their entire length - not just with loops. Everything is heavy duty and well made. Another thing I love about these lights is that can also be a prop - they look so different that they blend in. Put them high up for indirect downlighting , down for uplighting - almost anywhere. Its a versatile light.

purchased these to use with the Smallrig RC 220b. It was really easy to set up, the lighting was nice and even and really lit up the room in all directions. its pretty light weight and easy to transport. Really happy with this purchase!

It’s super easy to put together and use. Good quality. Only problem is after one use one of the ribs came out of its loop

Love the ease of setting up and breaking down.

This is the largest lantern I have ever used.

If youre looking to fill an entire space with an even fill of soft light, this lantern softbox from SmallRig does just that. Its super easy to assemble - just push down until you see the two l, internal catch bars hook onto the base and youre good to go! Its that easy. That said I wasnt really able to figure out the fabric barn doors are supposed to be attached but thats ok. The lantern excels at providing beautiful and even diffusion, but be prepared to use a high powered light with it. My 120watt continuous light was barely enough, so youll want double that if not triple. But it works great! Even comes with a padded zippered storage bag.

So easy to pop open and the light is extremely soft!
