Product Information
Full details
The SmallRig RA-L65 Lantern Softbox is designed for photographers and videographers who need quick, professional-grade omni-directional soft light for portraits, ambient room illumination, or overhead setups. Its key benefit is the rapid, one-step setup mechanism that allows for near-instant deployment, though users should be mindful that its 65cm diameter may require significant clearance in cramped indoor studio spaces.

Troubleshooting
Difficulty locking the mechanism during setup
Ensure the widened bottom hooks are correctly aligned with the mounting slots before applying pressure to the center hub.
Light is spilling onto walls unexpectedly
Attach the included 4-section fabric skirt and adjust the hook-and-loop fasteners to block light from the desired directions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply snap the integrated frame into place using the widened bottom hooks until it locks. To disassemble, release the mechanism and collapse it back into the included carrying case.
Compatibility: The unit utilizes a standard Bowens mount, making it compatible with the SmallRig RC 120D, RC 120B, RC 220D, and RC 220B, along with any other strobe or continuous light supporting this mount standard.
Care: The fabric is designed to be stain-resistant. If it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the unit in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this may degrade the highly reflective coating inside.
