Aputure Lantern 30 is a 30cm spherical Mini ProLock softbox that spreads the STORM 80c into a soft omnidirectional ambient light. Its collapsible diffuser packs flat, while the included skirt limits spill when a full 360-degree wash is not wanted. Buyers comparing this production lighting accessory should match it to the complete working package before ordering.

Product Overview

Aputure Lantern 30 is designed around the STORM 80c lighting system rather than as a universal fixture accessory. Its collapsible diffuser packs flat, while the included skirt limits spill when a full 360-degree wash is not wanted. Crews should check modifier clearance, stand capacity, safety attachment, power-cable routing, outdoor exposure, and packed size before the call so output, colour, CCT, and control needs remain practical for the shot.

Key Features

Production Light Control

Its collapsible diffuser packs flat, while the included skirt limits spill when a full 360-degree wash is not wanted.
