Nanlite Lantern 80 Reviews

Fantastic and Large Lantern

By Tolga

Absolutely great diffusion and gorgeous spread of light, Nanlite does not disappoint with this. My only complaint is bag that it came with the zipper broke on first use.

Works great! Recommend with bigger stand/arm!

It can be used with a C stand like the photo but a C stand arm doesn't reach very far and also adds a lot of weight fully extended. Recommend some other sort of arm/stand.
