Q: 5. Do u sell the Apollo Orb white diffuser only? i loss mine

A: Because there are many parts to our products, our dealers often do not sell such. Westcott sells replace/repair parts for our products directly. You can purchase parts with a credit card by calling Customer Service at 800-886-1689.

Q: 6. I'm used to these scrims having groomets and elastic corners to hold them on the frame (the rag place). Not on these???? !! ???

A: The Chimera Frame for Frame/Panel Reflectors - 48x48 listed above is only the frame; it does not include a fabric screen or panel with its purchase. However, the Chimera fabric reflectors/diffusers designed for use with this frame would only have an elastic corner on the ends of the fabric to connect to the frame; it will not have grommet holes for attachment purposes.

A: No, this Chimera Panel Frame is one piece that snaps together.

[2.075 lb] This grid provides great control of a strip box, particularly when lighting in a darker scene or on a black cyc/backdrop. I use this often on advertising photoshoots. Expensive but worth it. 5

[2.075 lb] quite amazing how this grid controls soft light. great for shooting in close quarters where fall off is essential. 5

[2.075 lb] I've been lighting with Chimera softboxes since they were invented, but never got the grids. Wow, what a game changer! It keeps the light from spilling onto the background and areas you don't want it. I like the 60 degree, because it doesn't cut down on the intensity of the light and softness, but directs the light toward the subject much cleaner. I bought one for all my softboxes. 5

[2.075 lb] worth the cost. added control - light spillage a thing of the past 5

[2.075 lb] This kit is perfect if you're looking for a very portable lighting control kit. It collapses to a very small size and fits in the supplied bag very well. The build quality is very good and it assembles very quickly and easily. Just add C-stands and you have a very versatile kit. The description seems to indicate that it includes a reflector that is silver on one side and gold on the other. However, I was pleased to find that it instead comes with one silver/gold zebra striped reflector (AKA a Lisa Marie), which is exactly what I wanted. Overall, I highly recommend this product. 5
