SmallRig RA-L65 Lantern Softbox

The diffusion fabric creates a beautifully soft, even spread that completely eliminated harsh shadows in my small studio setup. Setting it up overhead was surprisingly quick with the included speed ring, and it folds down flat for storage. Definitely a solid upgrade from my old umbrella.

I’ve been using it as an overhead key light for product shots, and the even spread really cuts down on harsh shadows. The 65cm size fits nicely in my small studio without being too bulky.

The version I bought is the perfect size for an overhead setup, and the light falloff is remarkably smooth across the whole surface. Set it up over a dining table for a product shoot and the soft, even output meant almost zero cleanup in post.
