Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How does this Chimera 48x48 frame compare to the Westcott Scrim Jim? Which is sturdier, for example?

A: The Chimera is designed with a shock cord, holding it together. The Scrim Jim comes in parts, & attach to one another via a frame hinge type adapter.

Q: 2. Will this work with Westcott 6 x 6 scrim fabrics? Looking for a less expensive option than the Westport scrim Jim frame

A: It seems like Chimera Frame for Frame/Panel Reflectors - 72x72" would work with Westcott Scrim Jim Cine Seamless Full-Stop Diffusion Fabric (6 x 6'), but keep in mind that we were not able to test.

Q: 3. Is this grid cloth?

A: This is a standard full stop diffusion.

Q: 4. What size are the patterns in this kit?

A: As per Chimera, the patterns would measure 22 x 22 inches.

Q: 5. Is it similar to discontinued 3/3 Silk from Sunbounce?

A: the sunbounce 3/3 is a 1 stop loss and the Chimera is a 1.4 stop loss.

Q: 6. Some say it's 1 stop and others 1.4 stops. Which one is? Thanks in advance!

A: Chimera lists the Chimera Cloth as 1.4 stops.

Q: 7. Does this come with a Chimera clamp or do I need to buy that separately?

A: Clamps are not included.

Q: 8. How tight are Chimera fabrics(48x48 ) on a Matthews break apart frame 48x48 ?

A: They are surprisingly tight, but a gust of wind will cause an unwanted shimmering of the light onto your subject when using the silver/gold panel. The white side of the 'White/Black Reflector Panel' should not have this unwanted effect in windy situations.

Q: 9. I've purchased the frame but am unable to find the reflector panel that is shown in the video ad and displayed on the frame?? any help please..

A: You can just do a search for Lastolite Skylite Rapid Fabric

Q: 10. Does it have a white side or just silver and gold?

A: One side of the Chimera 48 x 48" Reflector Fabric, Silver-Gold Zebra / Soft White BH #CHFPSGSW4848 is a zebra and the other is a soft white.

[0.7 lb] Great for either pointing lights through or as a large sun scrim

[0.7 lb] So much better than the Scrim Jim. Fast to set up, good build quality, lightweight.

[0.7 lb] This frame allows one to shape and control light in a compact, lightweight, and durable system. Perfect for those on the go. Unless you have an assistant, or are shooting video (my main use) you will need a stand, sandbag, and way to grip the frame; I use a gobo head.

[0.7 lb] This is my second most used window pattern from the Chimera Window Patterns Kit. I use it to light boring walls behind talent on interview shoots. I've got to confess I made my own cucoloris pattern using foam board and it looks downright creepy. Boris Karloff sort of stuff. So I broke down and purchased the Chimera patterns. I prefer the larger Chimera patterns when trying to add a splash to walls, the smallest patterns seem better suited to me for extremely small areas. I appreciate and stand behind the Chimera brand for their quality, portability as well as tried and true safety while on location. Great product. Recommended for anybody's kit.

[0.7 lb] One of the most essential tools we have on the truck. I've used this thing in almost every type of environment from violent winds to tiny apartments. We normally have a 42x72 and 72x72 close by on our carts, but the 42x72 really comes in handy for diffusing car windshields, doorways, individual handheld stuff, or anywhere the 72x72 is just too large for the environment or situation. If you're considering this investment, you won't be disappointed. Only thing negative I can mention is that the black and white fabric is sort of crunchy, and the white side is kind of glossy- but I think it's to keep the fabric lightweight which is great. Sometimes if I want to get the shine out of the white side I just put a second fabric like the 1/8 grid cloth over the white. One other thing is when using the nets, they can easily get snagged on the pins that hold the frame together and tear the net- but if your careful, it's fine to work with.

For real, chimera nailed it. 10 out of 10

[0.7 lb] I have had a few of these a few weeks now and really like them. They are made of good material that seems like it will last. They worked great for the project I purchased them for and I look forward to using this one and others by Chimera in the future.

[0.7 lb] When you don't have time / space / budget for real flags and diffusion, this is a great option for interviews, R&G and ENG needs.

[0.7 lb] I found out about this kit from a local rental, fell in love with it and decided to get one for myself.
It's easy to install and packs into a small package, with proper gripping (2 points of contact) it can withstand winds without any problem.
