Softbox Lastolite LL LC5981 — green backdrop/softbox, 2100 mm depth, 1800 mm height

The Lastolite LL LC5981 softbox in green combines a collapsible backdrop with a deep softbox to provide controlled, even lighting and a seamless coloured background. With a depth of 2100 mm and a height of 1800 mm, this unit is intended for studio and on-location use where a large, single-piece green surface and soft, diffused illumination are required. The softbox is compatible with continuous or flash lighting and is designed for photographers and videographers needing a portable solution that simplifies light shaping and background coverage.

Advantages

This Lastolite softbox provides a large, integrated green backdrop and diffusion surface that reduces harsh shadows and produces smooth, even illumination across subjects. Its collapsible construction makes it quick to set up, pack down, and transport between locations. The substantial depth and height accommodate full-body portraits and small product setups while enabling light modifiers to produce soft, wraparound lighting. The unit is versatile for use with different light sources and supports consistent chroma key colour across the shooting area.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography and video with green screen background
• Product photography requiring soft, even lighting
• On-location shoots where portability and rapid setup are needed

How to use

Unfold the softbox frame and extend it to full depth and height, ensuring the green surface is taut and free of wrinkles. Position your light source—continuous or flash—at an appropriate distance and angle to achieve the desired diffusion; use additional modifiers or grids if finer control of spill is required. Place the subject in front of the green backdrop at a distance that minimizes shadowing and provides even chroma coverage. For stability, mount the softbox on an appropriate light stand or support and secure any fastenings before shooting.

Usage recommendations

For optimal chroma key results, light the green backdrop separately from the subject when possible, using even, low-contrast illumination across the full surface. Maintain a consistent distance between subject and backdrop to avoid spill and uneven colour. When transporting, collapse the unit and use a protective bag or case to prevent creasing and damage to the fabric surface.
