Chimera Pro Plus 36x48" Softbox For Video

Chimera Pro Plus 36x48" Softbox For Video
  • Product Code: eq4218
  • Availability: In Stock

$1,820.40 $2,912.64

The medium, 36 x 48" Chimera Pro Plus 36x48" Softbox for Videois designed for use with a broad light with a wide throw, such as a Tota light. With fabric rated for the heat of a continuous light up to 1200 watts, the medium Shallow Plus 1 is ideal for work in cramped interiors where medium softening of a broad light is desired.

The "Plus" designation of this softbox means the front face of the softbox is removable. This softbox comes with a one stop diffusion cloth. 1/2 and 1/4 grid cloths are available separately.

This softbox has a built in "lip" around the edges to help control light spill. This lip also facilitates the attachment of optional honeycomb grids, fabric grids, and louvers.

This softbox is only for lights with a very wide throw. The shallow depth of this softbox will not allow the light from a spotlight to spread out adequately within the box. Exposure then would not be as even across the entire front face of the softbox.

[4.15 lb] We've owned one Video Pro Plus 1 Softbox since 2000, and it's in just as good shape today as the day we opened the box. We use it regularly, and have used it countless times since we bought our first one. In order to light more evenly, we decided a second one would be more cost effective than switching to completely LED or flourescent fixtures for the time being. It's really a great product that stows away well. Obviously, it stands up well to regular use.

[Silver] I use it together with my profoto lamphead. The light is very soft with a nice fading. The softbox is very light and easy to use. I rent it in Hong Kong and I just loved it. I bought two of them and I'm very happy.

[4.15 lb] Bought this to replace a small Chimera that had yellowed after a couple decades of use with hot lights. It's riding on an Aputure 600 X pro now. Beautiful light through the Chimera, great spill control.

[40 x 7 x 7"] It's been a great way to light interviews for years. Makes your subjects looks great. I usually use it with either a 650W or 1K light. You'll need a speed ring for every light you plan to put it on. This is my second one of these. The one I bought 4 years ago is still in great shape. But sometimes I've got two shoots going on simultaneously, so I needed a second one.

[40 x 7 x 7"] The Chimera Medium Soft Box does exactly what I hoped. It makes my inexpensive Lowell Omni light look great. Couldn't be happier.
