Purpose and compatibility

The Aputure Lantern 30 is an 11.8-inch omnidirectional softbox built specifically for the STORM 80c LED light. It gives photographers and videographers a 360-degree spread of diffused light for natural-looking illumination in studio or location work.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive light modifier the Lantern 30 adds no fan noise, heat output or electrical draw to the STORM 80c system. The fabric construction simply diffuses the existing output without altering the fixture’s thermal or power characteristics.

Build quality and mounting

A Mini ProLock mount secures the softbox to the light in seconds, while a detachable hook-and-loop skirt lets you control spill and shape the beam. The unit collapses into a compact form and ships with a soft carrying bag for transport and storage.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the Lantern 30 to the STORM 80c and what step do people miss?

Align the Mini ProLock mount on the softbox with the STORM 80c, twist until it clicks securely; the step often missed is failing to fully rotate the lock until the audible click confirms it is seated.

What part of the Lantern 30 will need replacement after heavy location use?

The hook-and-loop light control skirt can lose grip after repeated attachment cycles; the soft carrying bag may also wear at the seams and zipper with frequent transport.

What limits the Lantern 30 during long continuous shoots with the STORM 80c?

The 30 cm diameter fabric can trap heat from the 80c LED during extended 360-degree output, so monitor fixture temperature and allow cooling breaks if the softbox surface becomes hot.
