Our Verdict
I recently put the Ulanzi AS-D30 through its paces to see if this compact modifier could truly soften the harsh output of portable COB lights. Its thoughtful design prioritizes speed without sacrificing the quality of light required for professional video work.
Performance & Build Quality
The Ulanzi AS-D30 is constructed with high-quality reflective fabric that feels durable enough for frequent transport. The inclusion of both internal and external diffusers allows for excellent light control, effectively eliminating hotspots and providing a soft, flattering wrap around the subject.
Day-to-Day Experience
The quick-pack mechanism is the standout feature, turning setup into a simple snap-and-lock process that saves precious time on set. It fits seamlessly onto my Mini Bowens mount lights, feeling secure and balanced even when mounted on lighter, travel-friendly stands.
This is the perfect softbox for vloggers and on-the-go videographers using 40W COB lights who demand a fast, high-quality lighting solution.
Final Thoughts
With an impressive 4.86/5 rating, the Ulanzi AS-D30 easily earns its spot in any mobile kit. Priced at only $69.00, it is an affordable and highly efficient way to elevate your lighting game.
