Godox Collapsible Lantern ML100Bi Softbox - Omnidirectional Soft Light

In this review the Godox Collapsible Lantern Softbox for ML100Bi is evaluated as a compact, travel-ready light modifier aimed at photographers and videographers who need soft, even illumination on location. The bottom line is straightforward: if you use the ML100Bi (or ML60IIBi) and want a fast, portable solution to create omnidirectional soft light that wraps subjects evenly, this accessory delivers. Setup is quick and the white fabric produces neutral, natural-looking diffusion that works well for portraits, product shots and video interviews.

Key Features

• Omnidirectional light quality: Provides even, wraparound illumination that reduces harsh shadows for cleaner portraits and softer highlights on subjects.
• Quick collapsible design: Pops open and collapses down fast for on-the-go shoots, saving setup time between locations.
• Accessory mount compatibility: Works with the ML100Bi and ML60IIBi using the Godox accessory mount to fit existing fixtures seamlessly.
• Soft and natural illumination: The white diffusion fabric produces gentle, neutral light suitable for both skin tones and product textures.
• Lightweight and portable build: Easy to carry in a kit or bag, making it practical for run-and-gun assignments and small crews.

Who It's For

The softbox is best for professional photographers and videographers who already own the ML100Bi or ML60IIBi and need a compact modifier that creates uniform, flattering light without hauling large gear. It suits portrait shooters, content creators and product photographers who value speed and portability on location.

It is less appropriate for studio shooters who require directional control or grid-style shaping of light; those users should consider rectangular softboxes or modifiers that offer stronger beam control. Also, buyers who do not own a compatible Godox fixture should note the softbox is designed specifically to mount to the ML100Bi or ML60IIBi.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Produces soft, even illumination that reduces harsh shadows and smooths skin tones.
• Very quick to set up and collapse, saving time on location and with small crews.
• Lightweight and easy to carry, adding minimal bulk to a mobile kit.

Cons

• Designed specifically for ML100Bi and ML60IIBi using the Godox mount, so it is not a universal softbox.
