Lantern Aputure AP-LANTERN 65cm μαύρο λευκό

The Aputure Lantern AP-LANTERN is a 65 cm (26") spherical softbox designed to produce soft, even light from LED or studio strobe sources. Supplied with a lantern spring cage, diffusion fabric, a 4-section adjustable light control skirt (fabric barn doors) and a carrying bag, the Lantern is a portable modifier that spreads light over a wide area with a 270° beam angle.

Advantages

The Lantern’s tension-based quick release frame allows fast pop-up setup and takedown, suitable for run-and-gun workflows. Its 4-section hook-and-loop light control skirt gives precise control over light spill and direction, and the included diffusion material yields soft, flattering illumination for photo and video use. The set is compact to transport and straightforward to assemble.

Suitable for

• Portrait and beauty photography

How to use

Assemble the lantern by expanding the tension frame until it locks into shape, attach the diffusion fabric over the frame, and secure the adjustable skirt with the hook-and-loop fasteners in the desired positions to shape the light. Mount the lantern on a compatible light head or support (ensure the fixture’s mount and weight are appropriate), position the light source inside or above the lantern as recommended by your fixture’s instructions, then adjust the skirt sections to reduce spill or direct illumination.

Recommendations

For best results use with LED panels or strobes that provide even front illumination; avoid placing extremely hot light sources in direct contact with the fabric. When using on location, store the lantern in its carrying bag and secure the lantern on a stand with a sandbag or weight if shooting outdoors to prevent tipping.
