Ulanzi AS-D30 30cm Octagonal Softbox for Mini Bowens Lights
In testing the Ulanzi AS-D30, I focused on how this 30cm modifier handles close-up lighting for tabletop shoots and solo vlogging. It integrates seamlessly with Mini Bowens-equipped 40W COB lights, creating a surprisingly soft output that elevates small-scale productions.
Performance & Build Quality
The build quality is impressive for its size, featuring high-quality reflective fabric that manages light output efficiently. The inclusion of both internal and external diffusers ensures the light remains soft and natural, while the sturdy construction feels robust enough for frequent travel.
Day-to-Day Experience
The quick pack design is the standout feature here, making setup and breakdown incredibly fast during busy shooting days. It handles easily in tight spaces and provides a consistent, flattering light that requires very little adjustment once mounted.
This is an essential purchase for mobile content creators and YouTubers using 40W COB lights who prioritize portability and professional diffusion.
Final Thoughts
With a solid 4.86 rating, the Ulanzi AS-D30 proves that you do not need a massive studio setup to achieve high-quality lighting. Priced at $69.00, it is a versatile, reliable investment for any creator looking to soften their key light on the move.
