Overview

The Neewer 10101379 Lantern Softbox is a 20" (50cm) collapsible light modifier designed for content creators, videographers, and photographers who need soft, even illumination with minimal setup time. Unlike traditional softboxes that require assembling individual rods into a speed ring, this lantern features an all-in-one structure that pops open and closes in a single motion. Twelve highly resilient ribs maintain a clean, spherical shape that distributes light in a full 360° pattern, producing broad and largely shadowless coverage — ideal for interview setups, live streaming, and video recording where flattering, wrap-around light is essential.

The included skirt attaches around the lower portion of the lantern using touch fasteners, giving you the ability to selectively block light and shape the output. By attaching or removing individual skirt sections, you can transition from full omnidirectional output to a more controlled, directional beam without swapping modifiers. The softbox connects to lights via a standard Bowens mount, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of monolights and continuous LED fixtures from Neewer, Godox, Aputure, SmallRig, and other manufacturers. Weighing just 2 lbs and folding flat into the included storage bag, the lantern is well-suited for creators who need professional lighting quality with the portability to move between studio and location work.

Key Features

【360° Omnidirectional Balanced Light】 This 20"/50cm NEEWER lantern softbox provides a broad, balanced, and shadowless 360° light coverage compared to square and parabolic softboxes, ideal for video recording, live streaming, and interviewing. The skirt is attached and removed via touch fasteners, so you can choose the number of sections attached and control the light shape and direction flexibly

【Quick Release Installation & Disassembly】 Designed with an all in one structure, NEEWER lantern softbox can be instantly opened and closed with one simple step, which is more convenient and time saving than the traditional softboxes. The raised and widened bottom hook is a lot easier to secure

【12 Resilient Ribs & Superior Diffusers】 12 highly resilient ribs give this softbox incomparable durability and an impeccable lantern shape for 360° omnidirectional light output, withstanding tens of thousands of presses and years of use without distortion. Diffusers with highly reflective linings can fully maintain the genuine color rendition and color temperature of any light

【Standard Bowens Mount】 Featuring the standard Bowens mount for attachment, this softbox is compatible with all the Bowens mount monolights and continuous LED video lights made by NEEWER, including CB60, CB100, CB150, CB60 RGB, and more

【Portable & Storage Bag Included】 Softbox weighs 2lb/0.92kg and folds flat to 20" (50cm), compact enough to slip into the storage bag for easy transportation. Package contents: 1 x 20"/50cm Lantern Softbox, 1 x Skirt with Touch Fasteners, 1 x Storage Bag, 1 x User Manual
