Nanlite Lantern softbox for Compac 200/200B

Nanlite Lantern Softbox for Compac 200/200B – 270° beam for soft, even ambient light

The Nanlite Compac 200 and 200B Rapid-Fold Collapsible Lantern Softbox converts your Compac LED panel into a wide, soft light source. It produces a broad 270° beam angle to raise ambient illumination or to serve as an overhead lantern, helping you fill a set with soft, even light.

Designed for easy, rapid setup

The softbox pops open and folds back down with a simple twist of the wrist. Then, tubular magnetic locks click into place to hold the shape. Because of this Rapid-Fold design, you save time on set and avoid complex assembly steps.

Mounting without a speed ring

No speed ring is required to use the Nanlite Rapid-Fold Collapsible Lantern Softbox. Instead, touch fastener straps slip over the fixture to secure the softbox to your Compac panel. This straightforward mounting method reduces setup complexity and lets you focus on positioning the light.

Compact storage and transport

When you collapse the softbox it becomes extremely compact. The Rapid-Fold construction makes it simple to store and to carry. In addition, the softbox comes with an included bag so you can protect and transport the unit between shoots.
