A speed ring is required and not included with this unit. Remember to get the best type of speed ring for the light you are using. If you plan on using it with multiple lights we recommend the adjustable speed ring.
The Medium Video Pro Plus is designed for use with a hotlight but may also be used with flash. With fabric intended for the heat of a continuous light, the 36x48 inch Video Pro Plus with silver interior is ideal for work where maximum softening of the light is desired.
The "Plus" designation of this softbox means the front face of the softbox is removable. Chimera makes different strengths of diffusion material for front face applications. This softbox comes with 3 diffuser fronts. These will allow more light transmission and help to make the light more specular, or "less soft."
This softbox also has a built in "lip" around the edges to help control light spill. This lip also facilitates the atachment of optional honeycomb grids, fabric grids, and louvers.

Comments about Chimera Video Pro Plus Softbox - Medium - 36x48" (90x120cm):
I've been using Chimera softboxes for decades for both pro photo and cinematography. I like the versatility of using one softbox for both hot and strobe lights, so I recommend the Video Pro Plus versions which are built to take the heat. They are very portable and mount quickly on dedicated speed rings. The recessed, removable front diffusion material (which is the "Plus" part) along with the included interior baffle increases its versatility. Since it's recessed, I can control the spill on the background and can easily attach black foil as an additional flag.
Nothing in the Chimera line is inexpensive, but everything is exceptionally well made and durable, so it's money well spent if you want it to last for decades like mine have.
