Godox CS-65T 25.6" Lantern Softbox Bowens Mount

Compact Lantern for Tight Studios

The Godox CS-65T is a 25.6 inch Bowens-mount lantern softbox built for live streaming and video work in small rooms. It expands to a height of 1.4 feet and produces soft, uniform illumination across a 270 degree beam angle. The quick-deploy frame opens or collapses in roughly one second, keeping setup time minimal for solo creators.

Bowens Mount and Skirt Required

Verify that your studio light or strobe uses a standard Bowens bayonet before ordering, as the softbox locks directly onto that mount. The package includes a detachable fabric skirt that rolls up or down to flag spill; confirm you have space to attach and adjust it around the lantern rim. No additional speed rings or adapters are supplied with the unit.

Passive Cooling and Light Weight

The lantern has no built-in fan or electronics, so it adds no acoustic noise and draws no power of its own. Heat management depends entirely on the fixture mounted behind it; ensure that light’s own thermal design can handle continuous output in an enclosed modifier. The collapsible frame keeps the assembled unit light enough for most light stands rated for Bowens accessories.
