The Godox CS-65D is a collapsible lantern softbox, a popular light modifier known for its unique ability to provide soft, omnidirectional light. The “65D” in its name refers to its 65 cm diameter and its deep, spherical shape.

Omnidirectional Light: The primary characteristic of this softbox is its ability to cast light in a near-360-degree radius (specifically, a 270° beam spread). This makes it ideal for raising the ambient light level in a room, filling a space with soft, diffused light, and creating a pleasing, natural-looking illumination. It mimics the effect of a large “China ball” or paper lantern but with a more durable, professional design.
