Nanlite Lantern Softbox for Compac 100/100B – Rapid-Fold Collapsible for directional, soft light

The Nanlite Lantern Softbox for Compac 100 and 100B adds directionality while keeping a soft, even light quality. It pops open with a quick twist and folds down compactly for transport and storage. Its round shape also produces natural-looking catchlights in your subjects' eyes.

Rapid-Fold design for fast setup

The softbox deploys instantly with a twist of the wrist. In seconds, tubular magnetic locks click into place to hold the shape. As a result, you get a stable, rounded modifier without complicated assembly.

Swift, tool-free mounting

Instead of a speed ring, the softbox uses touch fastener straps that slip over the Compac fixture. This mounting method lets you attach and remove the softbox quickly and with minimal effort.

The Rapid-Fold construction collapses down small. Therefore, you can store and carry the softbox easily in the included bag, making it practical for location work and tight studio spaces.
