Pretty Basic

Haven't used them much yet but the way the come packaged makes them quite difficult to setup - they are rolled and so when you first unpack them they are super curly and take a bit of back rolling before you can get them under control. Also I was hoping to use them as flags on the soft box too but the velcro doesn't line up to allow you to do that. I'll just stitch some extra velcro on myself but for the price I would have thought they could have thought about that already.

question

What is the difference between this and a grid?
Asked by: johnny
These barndoors are useful in preventing glare that could bounce back to the camera as well as minimizing light spill. A grid focuses the entire beam down and the size of the beam would be dependent on the size of the grid (in degrees). For example, a 40 degree grid would yield a less focused beam versus a 20 degree.

Does this product come with the stands in the picture or would I have to buy them separately? Also the light would I have to buy the light separately?
Asked by: Anonymous
This product is only a set of barndoors for Chimera softboxes, which does not include a light nor a light stand.
