Chimera Super Pro Plu Overview

The Small Shallow Plus for Strobe applications is designed for use with a studio flash with a protruding dome such as a Profoto lamphead. With fabric not rated for the heat of a continuous light, the Small Shallow Plus for strobe applications is ideal for work in cramped interiors where medium softening of your studio flash is desired.

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. The softbox comes with a one stop diffuser. A 1/2 grid, or 1/4 grid cloth may be purchased separately, when a less-soft light is desired.

For use with a strobe head that has a protruding flashtube. It is not recomended for use with heads having built-in reflectors such as the Dyna-Lite 2040 lamphead or Novatron lampheads. The shallow depth of this softbox would not allow the light to spread out adaquately within the box. Exposure would not be even across the entire front face of the softbox.
Recessed front controls light spill and allows attachment of an optional fabric grid.
Easier manuvering in cramped interior shoots.
Required Speed (mounting) Rings are available separately for many manufacturers' strobes.

Chimera Super Pro Plu Reviews

Gorgeous light

Purchased this Softbox almost 20 years ago and I have photographed thousands of beautiful portraits with this Softbox. All these years later, the inside soft silver is only now, beginning to crumble off. If you are on location all around NYC, and cramped spaces, the shallow box is the way to go. Quality is high workmanship. Make sure the gold side of the spokes feed into the speed ring; or at least, that's what the Chimera guys taught me to do.

Put a ring on it.

Great light modifier as expected from Chimera Lighting. Make sure you have a speedring that fits. The ends of the rods are bigger than any other modifier I have (including Chimera) and wouldn't fit my Interfit, Impact, or Hensel rings. I had to order a Chimera speedring.

See any errors on this page?

question

I am thinking of getting a Profoto D1 Air 500w/s ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605739-REG/Profoto_901024_D1_Air_500_w_s.html ) to use with this soft box, however this box says not to use a strobe with built in reflector. The Profoto D1 says it has a built in reflector, so is this light not going to work with this box?
Asked by: elaine
the problems caused by the D1's built in reflector can be mitigated with the use of the profoto dome.
