The ULTIMATE lantern softbox | GVM vs. GODOX vs. FEELWORLD

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ค. 2024
- ‼️UPDATE‼️ I found that the receiving end of the Bowens mount on the GVM-650 light is just deeper than others. So the other options might fit just fine on your light. However I still find that this options is the best for all the reasons I mention in this video.

In this video, I share my recent experiences with lantern softboxes, specifically the GVM, GODOX, and FEELWORLD options. I encountered a frustrating journey in finding the right lantern softbox for my GVM Pro SD650B light, and I want to ensure you don't go through the same ordeal. Ideally you would purchase the same brand softbox as your light but, in some cases you have to venture out to get exactly what you want.
Initially, I ordered the GVM Lantern softbox assuming it had velcro tabs for a skirt modifier, but it didn't. Then, the GODOX lantern had mounting issues and lacked elastic bands for the diffusion skirt. Finally, I found success with the FEELWORLD lantern, offering a durable case, skirt modifier, and hassle-free setup.
I break down the differences and similarities among these lantern softboxes, including the quality of materials, storage options, and pricing. If you're in the market for a lantern softbox, I hope this comparison helps you make an informed decision.

That’s good information🙂
This is the way I like product videos. Well done.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!
Nice, thank you
No problem. Thanks for watching!
That is immensely helpful, I was looking for something like this. Thanks Caleb. Subscribed!
Glad I could help! Thanks for subscribing!
would you recommend getting a 60 or a 90cm lantern?
Hi, thanks for reaching out! Personally I got the 65cm so I could have something to work with in tight spaces.
@@cvaughnt thanks! I’m exchanging the 90cm to 65 now🥲 it was ginormous 🤡
Thanks for the helpful content. Before I buy either a 26 or 33 inch lantern, would you say the 26 gets brighter than in this video and that the 33 can be as dim as this video??
B/c if you could, than I could settle for either, although I require 5 feet distance from it for guitar mics I'll need between yet hope to achieve mainly how your most recent video looks as I saw that too. Would really appreciate your "angle"!! I get that the key lights have their role in this, but pretending they don't since we likely have a similar enough key light, you can feel free to answer this exclusively based on size difference and wether or not I should go for the 36 if I have to be back 5 feet.
James thanks for reaching out and sorry for the late response. I’d love to help you figure this out.
-If you are confined when it comes to space I’d say get a smaller lantern.
-When it comes to brightness. I only had my light turned up to like 7% when I turned it on in this video. The light I have is a 650 Watt light so it gets super bright!
What light/lights are you working with?
Just seeing this now, so I totally understand and appreciate the response. I wound up with a 26 inch Aputure lantern (quick folding) with the Amaran 100d S and it works great. First I got the big one and returned it after it being bigger than I anticipated, but not a big deal. The real pain is configuring the other lighting to avoid dark circles under my eyes, but I found that LED video lights set in front of me and below the face, at about knee level, helped. Lighting solutions are a lot of work, but once you got it, you almost got it forever, with no adjustments, if you're filming in the same spot. I've not however uploaded any content with the new lighting@@cvaughnt s
ok here is new subscriber,keep going sir
Thanks for subscribing! Working on the next video now!
@@cvaughnt i will watch after work sir 🫡🫡
would you recommend the GVM bi-colour 100w lighting kit (has a lantern softbox? I will be using the set up as an upgrade to my ring light for self tape auditions. I am after the most soft, flattering lighting :)
Yes I would. Make sure to turn off your room lights and just use the lantern unless you are going to match the kelvin of your room light. When I’m lighting a scene I always start by turning off all of the lights and adding one light at a time and moving them around until I find the look I want.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
Just a heads up the lantern the comes with the 100W GVM doesn’t come with a skirt so keep that in mind.
Thank you so much!! I think after some more research I am leaning towards buying either a used aputure 120d or 120dii (I'm not too sure of the differences) as they are not too much of a price jump and seem to give lovely professional results. Do either of them stick out as a best buy to you? There's also the amaran 100 but i think a used aputure might be best.
Thanks again!@@cvaughnt
@@chloeee6789 at the end of the day a light is a light. 120W is 20 more Watts than the 100 so it will be slightly brighter. How you use the light in terms of setup is really what’s going to make a difference. I can take any of those lights and make them look indistinguishable from one another when looking through the camera. The key is knowing how to shape light. Don’t get caught up by brand names instead focus more on what you need.
Things to consider are:
-Is it Bi-color? Meaning you can change the color temperature. (this is preferred)
-Does it come with accessories, stands, or a softbox? (If not you’ll have to buy that stuff separately which will add up)
-How much does it weigh? (In your case you probably dont need to hang it above your head with a boom arm or transport it around. So weight probably doesn’t matter)
-Is it app controlled? If you are using an external monitor big enough that you can stand in position, see yourself, adjust the brightness up or down from your phone then app control is a good thing. If you don’t have a monitor that big you will likely just be going back and forth adjusting the light manually and looking at test shots so probably unnecessary.
Let me know if this helps!
