Aputure Lantern 90 (3′)

The Aputure Lantern 90 is a versatile lighting modifier that provides soft, even illumination over a large area. Here are its key features:

1. Near 360° Soft Light:

The Lantern 90 is designed to cast a nearly 360° soft light, spreading evenly across its surroundings. This wide coverage is ideal for creating ambient lighting, opening up shadows, and ensuring uniform illumination in various shooting scenarios.

2. Mounting Options:

The Lantern 90 can be mounted horizontally or hung overhead on a boom stand. This flexibility allows filmmakers and photographers to adjust the lantern’s position according to their lighting needs, making it suitable for different setups and applications.

3. Light Control Skirt:

Aputure includes a skirt with the Lantern 90 to provide control over the light output. When used on all four sides, the skirt limits the beam, creating a pool of soft light in a specific area. Covering only one side can direct the light or create a gradient, adding depth and dimension to the scene. This level of control allows for creative lighting effects and precise illumination adjustments.

4. Bowens Speed Ring Compatibility:

The Lantern 90 features a Bowens speed ring, making it compatible with Aputure lights that utilize this mount. Additionally, it can be used with lights from various other manufacturers that also employ the popular Bowens mount. This universality ensures compatibility with a wide range of lighting equipment, offering flexibility for users with different setups.

5. Versatile Usage Scenarios:

The Lantern 90 is suitable for a variety of applications, including film and video production, photography, interviews, and studio work. Its soft, omni-directional light makes it an excellent choice for creating pleasing and natural-looking illumination, making it valuable for both indoor and outdoor shoots.

6. Easy to Set Up and Use:

The Lantern 90 is designed for easy setup and use. Its user-friendly design allows filmmakers and photographers to quickly incorporate it into their lighting setups, saving time during production and ensuring a smooth workflow on set.
