Dramatically soften the output of your Wasp or Bee plasma light with this extra extra small Hive 12 x 16" Rectangular Softbox, which was produced by Chimera Lighting. This modifier features a soft silver interior which will direct light forward through the removable inner baffle and front diffuser, effectively increasing the light's size. It also has a recessed front that will help limit light spill while also enabling the attachment of accessories, such as fabric grids. Additionally, this softbox is compatible with most 6.5" and 6-5/8" four-point speed rings.

Q: 5. Did they fix the poor cri issue with new firmware?

A: CRI cannot be corrected by a firmware update. It is a hardware issue concerning the quality and/or combination of the lamps/bulbs in the unit. That being said, the HIVE LIGHTING Wasp 100-C Omni-Color LED Light Kit has a listed CRI of 98 and a TLCI of 97. With 100 being the best possible score, the HIVE LIGHTING Wasp 100-C LED Light has one of the highest CRI ratings for an LED light fixture.

Q: 6. are there any video tutorials showing how i can use this light as a background light for video interviews...ie gobo projections (in/or or out of focus), scatter gels etc...how would this work? similar to the dedolight projection attachment...is it possible with this light? I would rather buy this than an expensive dedo....

A: Unfortunately, there aren't any video tutorials specifically on these fixtures when used as a background light. While you cannot use a projection lens with this fixture other than the dedicated lenses for it, you can use a cucoloris pattern in front of the light to produce a break up pattern against the background. One such product is the Matthews Cucoloris - 24x36 - Wood B&H # MACW2436 which can be held up by a C-stand such as the Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Head Kit, Black - 10.5' (3.2m) B&H # MALSC40HWB in front of the Wasp 100-C. Please see the images below for reference.

Q: 7. How is this unit for high speed filming?

A: No issues at 120 fps..Not sure about any higher then that..

Q: 8. Will this work with Profoto B10x as it is shorter?

A: Yes, the HIVE LIGHTING Profoto to Bowens Adapter is compatible with the Profoto B10x. However, it is not ideal because of the B10x's shorter head. The adapter could work well when using 7" honeycomb grids or snoots, but it may not distribute the light inside of a softbox in the most ideal way.

Q: 9. Does it work on the Profoto B10x Plus?

A: Yes, the HIVE LIGHTING Profoto to Bowens Adapter would be compatible for use on the Profoto B10X Plus OCF Flash Head.

Q: 10. How much does this weigh?

A: This softbox would weigh about 5 lbs.
