What's the difference between an omnidirectional softbox and a parabolic softbox?
Which is better... Omnidirectional Lantern style softboxes or the Parabolic style softbox such as the aputure lightdome series?

Can you use the lantern soft box in a bigger setting for like lighting up a group of people around a table? Or should I be using more of a directional soft box?

@SamHolland 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Gregory. It all depends on the look you’re going for to be honest. There’s no reason why you can’t. It spreads more light around in all directions where as the softboxes are a little more directional.

Funny this pops up, as I just received my package with a 60W light and the latern diffuser. Bought the kit specifically for that lantern. I used it a few days ago filming an actor's audition and was really impressed with the softness of the light, but at the same time I can see the virtues of the more directional diffuser. I'm shopping now for a 26" (66 cm) grid octagon and a 14" x 36" (36 cm x 90 cm) rectangular diffuser for different applications. I guess in short, love the lantern but it depends on how I need to shape the light in certain shots.

@byronbrimstone5163 Ай бұрын

The lantern would be great for a podcast situation with two people facing each other with a table in between. It would then be placed between them as an overhanging and slightly back for better shadow on the opposite side of the face. Remember: you can get "skirts" for lanterns that make them much more directional. You can easily make a "skirt" yourself. That way, you can have the best of both worlds in one solution.

Hang the dome vertically for the 360 spread and proper performance. Imagine it is a fixture attached to your ceiling. I think you will be able to move it further away then also. I have one and it is a wonderful light dispersal tool. If you have the ceiling height.

But when it's just a vlog...I think having more control over the light with the Parabolic is better. HOWEVER...I know that some lantern soft boxes come with "flaps" to help control the light...I'd be interested to see the controllability with those vs the Parabolic.

It's 360° if you use an arm & hang it facing up or down.. the light will distribute 360 around.. plus you can put a curtain to narrow the spread. As for which I prefer... it depends on the look I'm going for.. what I'm lighting etc..

I guess it depends on what your intended use is, but I much prefer the lighting from the regular parabolic. More interesting, more dramatic, more cinematic looking.

To my eyeballs the lantern gives flat, uninteresting, bland, ho-hum lighting.

@@misterscary999 I saw that video already. Within the first minute of that video Daniel put a "mask" on it (what is also referred to as a "skirt") to control the light spill because he said "why waste all that light." A lot of Lantern softboxes do NOT come with these masks/skirts and in fact put out a 270° to an almost 360° light spread. THIS particular one Sam has does not have a skirt and Sam says it effects a 270° spread and he showed it quite clearly in this video. You plainly see the room light up a whole lot more, raising the general brightness of the entire room, with the Lantern softbox. So this particular Lantern is NOT mean to control light in any effective way whatsoever.
