Aputure Lantern 66cm (26')

I needed a soft source that could wrap around my subject for a natural interview look, and this modifier delivers exactly that. The 66cm size is perfect for top-down setups without feeling overpowering.

The 360-degree spread is what sold me—it turns my 300X into a rich, shadow-free pool for top-down interviews. Setup takes under a minute, and the fabric feels sturdy enough for regular gigs.

I needed a larger diffusion for softer shadows in interviews, and this lantern diffuses the light incredibly evenly in a full 360-degree circle. The 66cm size is perfect for a top-down ambient fill without harsh hotspots.
