The iFootage 50cm Lantern Softbox (20") is designed to deliver soft, omnidirectional light across a wide area. Its rounded lantern shape spreads light evenly in all directions, making it ideal for lighting entire rooms, group scenes, or ambient setups without harsh shadows.

With a built-in Bowens mount, it integrates easily with a wide range of lights, including the iFootage Anglerfish SL1 60DN. Lightweight materials and a collapsible design make it a practical addition to both studio and on-location kits.

How it works

The lantern design surrounds your light source and diffuses it in all directions, creating a soft, even glow that fills the space. This reduces harsh shadows and produces a more natural, balanced look—particularly useful in tight interiors or multi-subject scenes.

The silver interior helps maintain light efficiency while the nylon diffusion softens the output. The integrated Bowens speed ring allows quick mounting to compatible fixtures, keeping setup fast and straightforward.

Why choose this softbox

Unlike directional softboxes, a lantern spreads light across the entire environment. This makes it especially useful when you need consistent exposure across a scene rather than focused key lighting.

It’s a practical tool for fast-paced shoots where repositioning lights frequently isn’t ideal, helping you achieve usable, even lighting with minimal adjustment.
