Nanlite Lantern Softbox 60cm with FM Mount

Nanlite Lantern Softbox 60cm with FM Mount

The Nanlite Lantern Softbox is a 60cm spherical modifier designed to give you soft, even, omni-directional light. Often compared to a traditional “China Ball”, it spreads illumination in all directions, making it especially useful for interviews, table-top scenes, and any situation where you want to lift the ambient light without creating harsh shadows.

Why We Like It

This is one of those modifiers that quietly becomes a workhorse in the studio or on location. If you’ve ever struggled to balance a softly lit subject with a darker background, a lantern softbox is the answer. It’s brilliant for sit-down interviews, adding fill to a room, or creating a natural atmosphere without the “spotlight” look. Nanlite have thoughtfully included a set of four roll-down skirts, which give you control when you need it, stopping light spilling where it isn’t wanted. For a 60cm lantern it’s also fairly portable, and the FM mount makes it quick to pair with Nanlite’s compact Forza and FS lights. A very practical addition to any lighting kit.
