Chimera Video Pro Plus 1 Triolet Kit
The Chimera Video Pro Plus 1 Triolet Kit is a combination of several products--for much less than if you bought everything a la carte.
A small Video Pro Plus 1 softbox (with speed ring) and the Triolet continuous light fixture (with a 500W bulb) form the core of this kit. The softbox is designed for use with a hot light but can be used with flash as well. With a silver interior intended for the heat of a continuous light, the Small Video Pro Plus 1 is ideal for work in small spaces when medium soft light is required.
The 24 x 32" size is lightweight and portable. The "Plus 1" designation means the front face of the softbox is removable--Chimera makes different strengths of diffusion material for front face applications. The softbox comes with a one-stop diffuser, (hence the "1" designation). Purchasing the 1/2 and 1/4 grid cloths separately would allow for more light transmission and less softening of the light. A fabric eggcrate light modifier that attaches to the front of the softbox, directing and narrowing the beam (to 40°) for more control, is also included.
This fixture is equipped for 120V AC operation. It will also function with 220-240V AC with the appropriate bulb and plug adapter, available separately.

Comments about Chimera Video Pro Plus 1 Triolet Kit:
Great soft light for video interviews. Price is right given the items included especially the egg box screen. Only downside is that it takes a little time to set up and tear down.

Comments about Chimera Video Pro Plus 1 Triolet Kit:
When looking for a softbox, Chimera is the industry standard, and there's a reason for that, it is manufactured with quality, versatility, and consideration of the photographer/filmmaker who wishes to use it. To begin, the retro design of the Triolet fixture houses the mogul bulbs securely, and the included adapter for other bulbs makes the lamp-base highly versatile. The speedring is unmatched, with screws to secure the bank rods, and rotatable and locking holders to make installation extremely easy.
Then there's the softbox itself, which is manufactured to withstand temperatures of lamps up to 1k, and plenty of velcro to attach to any of the diffusers or eggcrates. Speaking of the diffusers, the included ones create an intensely soft light, and the egg-crate does a superb job of controlling the direction of the light.
To top it off, this kit includes a heavy-duty stand and bags that make transportation extremely easy. The bags are crafted with extremely fine material, and when you see the Chimera logo stating its 'perfect lighting' you understand that they are not exaggerating.
Bottom line: There are many ways to achieve a soft light, but if you want a kit that includes everything necessary to make a highly controllable and customizable soft light, this kit is the perfect fit.

Once I figured out how to put this together. It goes up fast. You have a small footprint once its broken down. I own two of these I liked it so much. I felt that I got my money's worth. Chimera is the best brand in my opinion.

Comments about Chimera Video Pro Plus 1 Triolet Kit:
This was everything that I could want and need. I just did some head shots and I have a 3-point lighting kit. This light saved me. I would highly recommend having. If you do interviews or head shots I would say this is a must for your production. Quality product helps me look like a Pro.
