Great review, many thanks.
Couldn't agree more. This is been the most versatile modifier I have ever used. Amazingly it's even pretty inexpensive especially for an Aputure product!
I totally agree. It's definitely a worthwhile purchase. The price is absolutely justifiable!
Thanks for commenting!
You talked me into buying (I was pretty much there already), A straightforward, very useful review. Many thanks 🙂
Glad it was helpful! You'll love it
Thank you for a great description. Subscribed immediately.
Glad to have you here :)
Thank you so much for the content. I have a fan :)
Thank you for this very informative episode I got mines on the way!
You're welcome!! Sounds good. You'll enjoy it!
thanks for sharing! I am going to order one!!
You're welcome. You're going to love it!
Really good review ... answered all my questions. This certainly seems more versatile than a box or dome type modifier.
I agree, and I am glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment!
@@PostColorGearHi what rose light you use in video?
I believe it was a Godox tube light, from my memory
Great review, i have this and the SE on the way to decide which is better for my situation but my gut feeling is the lantern will win.
great video, thanks
Good stuff. I think I need to move to this. 👍
Do it 😉
I have the lantern and love it! I actually use it as my normal light in my office as opposed to the ugly overhead light.
Yeah man, I hear you. In my office, I either use the BenQ screenbar or the lantern, depending on what I'm doing, for the same exact reason you mentioned.
Great video, keep it up 👍🏼
Thank you!
Never considered the lantern.. looks really useful!
Honestly, at first, it seemed one demensional, but now I use it all the time. I'm glad I have it and can't picture not using it.
I was going to buy the light dome but I think I’ll prob go this route. Thanks.
You're welcome!
This is the one to get if you're looking to get a lantern softbox. The Aputure includes the skirt. Most of the others offer it as an option. Good Review!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Great video buddy, thank you. I was wondering what is the difference between the lattern and an umbrella.. Have you used an umbrella before?
Thank you Dave your this great review.
Any tip on how to use gels with that?
No tips haha - but I suppose if you had a large enough gel you could gaffe tape it to the rolled up sides.
It's cool, but I couldn't find a way to fix it over my desk. I also don't have extra space around and the desk with a variable height feature, so that light should follow the desk.
There are some desk stands in Aliexpress, but they're all clumsy, not for that weight.
Very nice video.
Thanks so much for sayjng so, and commenting!
Very good overview and examples. Thanks. That was the small 60 cm version, right?
correct :)
nice simple video. you have a video on the best vlock battery for the 120??
I do not, unfortunately.
How would u change the colour temperature with the lantern?
Hi. One question, does the lantern lock into the light itself ? As I hear on another video it wasn't doing that, as those are 2 different manufacturers.
It depends on the light. It's a Bowens mount so any light that accepts a Bowens mount will be fine.
can you tell me what specific stand are you using for the light and the modifier? thanks
It's a Flashpoint c-stand
Do you have a special speedring for the Godox light?
It's a Bowen speedring. It comes with the lantern (as far as I recall)
Great video here! Thanks for this well-produced and informative review. You've got a new subscriber :)
I shoot youtube videos, music videos, as well as a doing portrait and product photography. I think this modifier will be a really nice addition to my kit.
Thanks for the kind words and for subscribing. It's a great modifier!
Post. Color. Gear. I Ordered it today along with the new Godox VL150 to use with my Aputure 120D. I think they will make a great combo. Thanks again!
@@JeffStrawBranding you're welcome
Great video mate. subbed. I have the same SL60 as you do.
I'm thinking about picking up the
Aputure 120d Mark II with the lantern. Do you think the extra power etc will be worth the money?
Thanks!
Thanks for the sub! And it all depends. I have not had any issues with my SL60, either with the brightness, or the minimal fan noise. If you're just shooting YT videos or just small rooms, I don't think the extra money spent would have a huge impact. (because you already have the Godox) Having said that, I love the Aputure products and if you need a workhorse of a light, the 120d mark 2 is an amazing light.
@@PostColorGear Thanks for the response! I guess the fan does not matter too me much. It's mostly local interviews. maybe to light out a restaurant counter or a product shoot in my office. I guess the SL60 will do for that. One last question, the Gordox Softbox doesn't seem great. Would you pick up the lamp or the aperture softbox if you would have to pick one for what I described above? Thanks for taking the time!
@@philippblank I'd say the Aputure softbox, with a grid for the product shots, especially. (as you said, for what you described above) - and you're welcome
One more question, which light stand do you have ?
That's a Flashpoint c-stand. Actually most of my light stands are Flashpoint
little late, but how would this fair for cinematic interview lighting? I know that the light is a little flat.
I think it could work, especially with the flags. Something like the photo in the thumbnail. All depends on what you're going for specifically
What 48" softbox were you using?
It was a fotodiox one. I've since sold it.
what size is this lantern
the smaller 26" one
Which lantern do you use?
The one in this video....lol
Not sure if I understand your question. Which light?
@@PostColorGear There is one that costs $89 and another that costs $139 but never mind man sorry to ask
@@deehart no worries at all! I just wasn't sure what you meant. it's the cheaper one :)
Those examples at 1:52 .... 🤯
Crazy, eh? It's great how these modifiers can really soften the light. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@PostColorGear Definitely! You sold me. I don't know why I was always so stuck on the parabolic softboxes. These are perfect for a TH-cam setup.
@@MadisonKeesler I agree. You'll love it!
