Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this safe to use with an Aputure 1200D? I'm curious if I'd need the high-heat version

A: The Chimera OctaPlus Hi-Heat Expandable Light Bank (5') (BH #CHOP5HH) would be a better choice for use with the Aputure LS 1200d Pro LED Light.

Q: 2. Will this work with the joker 800 and/or joker 1600 hot lights? Not the new LED ones.

A: Yes, the following light shaping tools is designed for 3200 W (Hot Lights) Max.

Q: 3. Does anyone know the best way to color correct (CTB on a tungsten light for example) this light?

A: If the tungsten light placed in this softbox does not have a dedicated gel frame, one could attach a CTB gel on the inner baffle of the light using wooden clothes pins. However, this may require the softbox to be vented due to the build-up of heat that may occur. Your results may vary.

Q: 4. Which length rods do I need to use the chimera octaplus 5 in combination with chimera triolet?

A: According to the manufacturer, the Chimera Pole for 5' Octaplus Soft Bank B&H # CHPO5 MFR # 4060 would be the correct rod size for the Chimera Octaplus size when attach it to the Chimera Triolet with an Octaplus Speed Ring. The length of the rod is 38.75.

Q: 5. Can this withstand the heat of a prolycht 300 fs?

Q: 6. Is a Profoto B10X Plus, (500Ws), powerful enough to use with the Octaplus 5' Light bank? Same question, but how about using it with the 7' Octaplus?

A: You can use a B10x with a 5 or 7' octa. If it is adequate power will depend on the F/stop ISO and other lighting in the scene.

Q: 7. Is there an inner baffle that Chimera offers for their other soft boxes that might work with this Universal version?

Q: 8. What are the dimensions of this folded?

A: The softbox when collapsed and not put together is about 23 x 14 x 4.2 inches.

Q: 9. a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/398702-REG/Chimera_6058_Octaplus_5_Light_Bank.html/prm/alsVwDtl target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/398702-REG/Chimera_6058_Octaplus_5_Light_Bank.html/prm/alsVwDtl/a Says that the 7' bank limit is 1,500 Watts, but this one says 2,000; which one is right? I wanna use it with an Arri T2 Location Fresnel and I need to know if it is compatible. Also, what type of diffusion does this product come bundled with? I'm interested in full, half and quarter grid front panels for the 5' and 7' Octaplus banks.

A: According to the manufacturer, both the 5 foot and 7 foot sizes can withstand up to 3200 watts of continuous lighting. However, Chimera does not offer an Octaplus ring for the Arri T2 Fresnel nor do they offer any other diffusion than the full stop diffuser that is included with the kit.

Q: 10. does it include the light panel and power unit?

A: No. This is frame only.

[Yes, Removable] When it comes to soft boxes, I wouldn't buy anything else other than Chimera. The Octaplus is a great, big, beautiful light source. It is east to set up. We use it with the Profoto D1 and after you get it on the speed ring, it slides easily right on to the moonlight. One of my favorite things about Chimera, is the lip around their soft boxes, making easy to control the light. I would highly recommend this product. 5

[Fabric] I use it with a Sala 4 LED. It sets up quick and easy, and produces a nice soft light. 5

[Silver] We ended up buying these for ETC Desire D40 LED spots not knowing if they would work on a fixture like that and it turned out to be a game changer.� As an added bonus, Chimera worked with me to make sure we were getting the correct speed ring softbox size.� Well worth the extra couple bucks, we are very happy! 5

Hossam	08/08/2024
[Yes] Bought it for interviews and drama recrees and it has been an excellent source of light. Worth every penny. Very easy to set up. The build quality is outstanding. 5

[Fabric] Actually used on Socanland 12x12 Bicolor. Fit like a champ. Far more efficient than clipping diffusion to barn doors. Get it! 5

YVRLightingTech	02/08/2024
[Yes] We have tried to build our own Snoots for the 1x1 in the past. Nothing compares to this product for fit, durability and ease of use. If you have a 1x1 LitePanel and need to control the spill this product is well worth the money spent. 5

[Silver] Ive been using this soft box with a the 1k Lowell DP light and am loving the quality of light I'm getting out of this combo. It is quite cumbersome, so make sure you have the ceiling space to use this soft box. It also is quite heave to hang on a c-stand so make sure you buy the chimera stand adapter. The throw with the baffle is around 6' and without 12' I've found. Perfect for interviews, portraits and more! 5

David Ford	15/06/2024
[Yes] The soft box works excellent with the Nila Zaila LED light. 5

preditor	04/06/2024
[Silver] Five stars because it's a Chimera and it does what it's supposed to do. It also comes with three different diffusion covers so you have some options. But unlike the classic Chimera that has a frame, hooks into a speed ring, and can go on any light that accepts rings or scrims, this seems like it will only work on the Ikan 576s. There's no frame; it slides over the barn doors of the fixture and uses the built-in gel clips to secure itself in front of the LED bulbs. So if you have a different budget LED light of a similar size and you want this to work it will take some gaff taping. Maybe Chimera has a model for everything. I don't know; I haven't looked. 5

[Yes] This is the right ring for the 30 collapsible beauty dish. For the 24, you need the smaller ring. This ring is also great for regular softboxes, too!! Wish the price was lower...... 5
