Chimera Video Pro Plus Overview

The extra small Chimera Video Pro Plus Softbox is designed for use with hot lights up to 750 watts or with strobes. Because of its small size and silver interior, light quality will be spectral with a faster gradation from highlight to shadow areas.

The 16 x 22" size is portable and lightweight. It may be taken on location easily. The "Plus" designation of this softbox means you can remove the front face of the softbox if you like.

Chimera makes different strengths of diffusion material for front face applications. This softbox comes with one stop, 1/2, and 1/4 grid cloth diffusers. These allow more light transmission and less softening of the light.

This size is suitable for a one or two person portrait or interview.
Required speed (mounting) rings are available separately for many manufacturers' lights.

What is the difference between this and the XS ...

What is the difference between this and the XS Video Pro Plus 8114 - beside the 30$ price difference? Thanks.
Asked by: Isaac
The difference is based on the diffusers that they include. The XS Video Pro Plus comes with a 1/2 and 1/4 diffusion panel while the Video Pro Plus 1 comes with a full stop diffusion panel. Otherwise, they have the same dimensions and silver interior.

can this be used on the Arri L5 Led light? if so, do I need to get an adapter (speed ring)?
Asked by: Shun
You could attach this to an Arri L5 LED light with a speed ring such as the Arri Speed Ring for 650W Fresnel B&H # ARCSRF650. Please see the image below.

question

Does this fit a 9.5 inch speedring?
Asked by: Mike
According to Chimera, if you are referring to the the Chimera Modular 9.5 (241 mm) Speed Ring for Daylite Junior Lightbanks, B&H # CH9204 MFR # 8135, this speedring is only compatible with the Chimera Daylite Junior softboxes. If you are looking to purchase the the Chimera Video Pro Plus Softbox - Medium 36x48 (90 x 120 cm), B&H # CHVPPBM, listed above, then the Chimera Modular Speed Ring for the AAdynTech JAB Daylight LED Light (9.5 ), B&H # CHMRVPOP MFR # 9203OP, would instead be the correct speedring for use with this softbox.

question

could this be attached to a 9890 Quick Release Speed Ring?
Asked by: francois t.
That speed ring should be able to be used with all of the Chimera Video softboxes.
