NEEWER NS20L/NS26L/NS35L Lantern Softbox

Great light diffuser for video. Lights up the background a bit. Takes about 10 mins to setup. Best used indoors, not sure about durability outdoors yet.

Needed to add one as i already had a key light excellent quality and distribution

I own many light modifiers and this one is one of my favorites.I use it mainly with the Godox VL150 in studio and the light is produces it very soft and omnidirectional.Perfect for video podcasts and broadcasts.

I recently purchased the NEEWER 26"" Softbox with Quick Release Diffuser, and it has completely transformed my photography game! The softbox is incredibly easy to assemble, and the quick-release feature means I can set it up and take it down in seconds. The light diffusion is perfect—producing a soft, even glow that gives my portraits that professional touch I’ve been striving for.The build quality is excellent, and it's surprisingly lightweight, making it a breeze to transport for location shoots. I love the versatility it offers; whether I'm shooting indoors or outdoors, it elevates my lighting setup instantly. I couldn't be happier with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their photography skills. Five stars all the way!

I was looking for a smaller soft box for my small studio. This was perfect and the quality is also very good

I needed a one-light solution and it is perfect. Couldn't be easier to set up and use.

So this pairs great with any light. Main thing is that it has to be a Bowens mount. I have a Neewer video light that I pair it with and this setup is not as easy the first time, but once you know how to open it. it becomes easy to setup. You just need to place the top of the latern where the white part is and not the opening on a flat surface like a table. Then just push down from the bowens portion down til it opens up into a big ball and then on the other side is where you connect it via a metal hook. You can see it when you open the lantern up looking though the bowens mount opening. It spreads and diffuses the like pretty well and looks great in video shots when you are filming. I would use this light to light up a room and create a nice ambient feel to the shot.

Neewer always seems to get that nice balance between quality and price just right. This lantern softbox is a great example of just that. It has a Bowens mount allowing you to hook in a COB constant light or a studio strobe. Honestly its best in my opinion, with a constant light COB that you can turn up and down to regulate your ambient light.Easy to open with a push and click in the hook to hold it open and folds down and away into the supplied case for easy transport. The light it produces is a nice diffuse source that can really fill a room and provide a lot of fill. I used it a few times and it performed nearly as well as my other lantern that costs $50 more than this one. For the price, this is a great modifier.

I regularly use softboxes with LED lighting and Flash units both in the studio and for location photography. As well as being very effective for diffusing light this NEEWER Lantern Softbox can be set up and ready use in less than a minute. I find this very convenient especially when shooting in outdoor locations where being able to quickly set up and pack down lighting and move to another spot is very beneficial.I have been using this softbox with LED and Strobe lighting and find it suits both equally well. The sturdy Bowens type mount fits all of my lighting units allowing me to use the lighting which best suits my shooting requirements. It performs very well for video work and can be used to light a particular subject or provide a good spread of light over a much bigger area with an even light tail off and soft shadows.When using it for outdoor shooting I find the closed design is reasonably stable in light breeze and it is highly portable when carried in the supplied storage bag with shoulder strap. The overall construction of the softbox I received is very neat and the mechanism for locking the internal frame open is easy to operate.Overall I am very impressed by the quality, ease of use and the way this Lantern Softbox performs. It is cleverly designed and I am very pleased by the results I am getting when using it. I have no hesitation in providing this five star review and recommending.

A nice quality lantern softbox from Neewer.Really easy to set up and pack down, can be on and shooting in less than a minute.Give a really nice evenly distributed light diffusion which is less harsh than direct video lighting and a smaller softbox. Also great for giving a feeling of an overhead living room light if required.The materials used are all good quality with firm stitching and strong material where needed.The velcro sections allow adjustments to be made and the bowens mount is solid and being standard Bowens means this modifier can be used with probably all of your existing lighting kit.The arms have a decent amount of tension to them without making it a test of strength to assemble, it also does away with that fear of getting speared you get with self assembly softboxes.This style of quick to ready softbox is great for run and gun shooting on days when you don't have much time with the subject. Great for corporate, talking head type shoots.Also a really lovely diffuser for photography, gives a nice light fall on models and is an excellent addition to your lighting kit.The bag it comes in is a fairly standard nylon type sack, but it's a nice addition with a good carry handle and it's nice to be able to quickly stow the softbox away and put back in the kit box easily.Another great quality bit of kit from Neewer
