Softbox Zhiyun Lantern G60 60 cm with Bowens Mount for Continuous Lighting

Zhiyun Lantern G60 is a 60 cm softbox with a Bowens mount made for continuous lighting. Its lantern-shaped diffuser produces soft, omnidirectional light that reduces harsh shadows and creates even illumination across the scene. Designed to work with Bowens-mount fixtures, this softbox is compact yet large enough to deliver flattering light for faces and small to medium-sized subjects in studio, video and live-stream setups.

Advantages

The lantern design produces uniform, wraparound light that minimizes hotspots and creates natural-looking skin tones. A 60 cm diameter balances portability with light coverage, making the softbox easy to position while providing sufficient diffusion for portraits and product photography. The Bowens mount ensures broad compatibility with many continuous-light fixtures and simplifies attachment and removal during shoots.

Suitable for

• Portrait and headshot lighting
• Product photography for small and medium items
• Video interviews and documentary-style filming
• Livestreaming and content creation setups
• On-location shoots where compact, soft illumination is needed

Key specifications

How to use

Attach the Lantern G60 to a compatible Bowens-mount continuous light by aligning the mount and securing it according to the fixture’s attachment method. Position the light at the desired distance and height to control softness and falloff; moving the softbox closer increases diffusion and reduces contrast, while moving it away tightens the light and increases coverage. Rotate or angle the lantern to shape the wraparound effect and combine with reflectors or flags to refine shadows where needed.

Usage recommendations

Use the Zhiyun Lantern G60 for close-to-medium subject distances to maximize soft, flattering light. For portrait work, place the lantern slightly above eye level and angled down to produce natural facial modeling. When shooting products, adjust distance to manage spill and use a neutral background to emphasize the diffuse illumination. Ensure the continuous light used has sufficient output for the working distance and scene brightness.
