Q: 1. 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: 2. Would the mounting frame and octa 5 work with Litepanels Gemini 2x1 Hard RGB LED Light Panel?

A: The Chimera OctaPlus Mounting Frame for 1 x 2' LED Panels fits the Litepanels Gemini 2x1 Hard RGB LED Light Panel. But is only for this softbox, BH #CH1842 • MFR #1842 (https://bhpho.to/2lixJ95).

Q: 3. what grid will work with this box?

A: As of the date/time of this reply I do not currently see a grid by Chimera or Aputure listed as compatible for use with this Chimera Medium Lightbank with Frame for Aputure P600c.

Q: 4. 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: 5. Can I use my medium chimera grid (BH #CHGF60M MFR #3536) for this lightbank?

A: The Chimera 60° Fabric Grid (Medium) is only for Chimera Medium softboxes that measure 36 x 48" such as those in the Video Pro or Super Pro series.

Q: 6. Does this work with Aputure MC Pro?

A: No, the Chimera Lightbank for Aputure AL-F7 is not compatible with the Aputure MC Pro light.

Q: 7. Which length rods do I need to use the chimera octaplus 5 in combination with chimera triolet?

Q: 8. Are there two front baffles that come with this since it has two sizes?

A: The octopus comes with two front baffles , very easy to change when adding the 2 foot extension.

[Yes, Removable] 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

[Silver] Well made and solid. Provides a soft, wrap around light. Great addition to the light modifiers in my kit. 5

[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

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

[Yes, Removable] While it's a little tricky to assemble (and just a little cumbersome), once this thing's together, the quality of light it puts out is just lovely... I've been using with a triolet for the Arri Alexa. 5
