Godox CS65D 65cm Folding Lantern Softbox with Bowens Mount
Product Description
The Godox Collapsible Lantern Softbox with Bowens Mount is a 65cm rounded modifier for LED or strobe lights, giving a soft, 270 degree omnidirectional spread that works well overhead or as an ambient fill.
Open it up and it delivers the same wraparound, omnidirectional quality of light as the traditional China balls of old, filling a space with a gentle, even glow rather than a harsh directional beam. The white translucent interior and internal baffle keep the output smooth, and the click and locking frame snaps open in seconds. Made from durable fabric, it packs into the included carry case for storage and transport.
Ideal for: photographers and videographers who want soft, omnidirectional light overhead or to lift the ambient level of a scene, whether working with continuous LEDs or strobes.
Directional softboxes light one side of a subject, which often means adding more units to fill a room evenly. A lantern spreads light across a full 270 degrees for a natural, ambient wash from a single modifier. This one uses a widely compatible Bowens S mount and included speed ring, so it fits Godox SL150 II, UL150, and VL series lights along with the many other fixtures that use the popular Bowens mount. An optional skirt set (sold separately) narrows the beam when you want to control the spread.
