Chimera Video Pro Plus Overview

The Small Video Pro Plus Strip Softbox is designed for use with a hotlight up to 750 Watts. With fabric intended for the heat of a continuous light, the Video Plus Strip has a silver interior and a long skinny profile. The real genius of the Video Plus Strip is it's design flexibility. The "plus" designation means the front face can be removed. The softbox comes with a 3 diffusers. The 1/2 and 1/4 diffusers allow more light transmission and help to make the light more specular, or "less soft."

The recessed front face provides a narower spread of light than a flush mounted box. It also facilitates the suport for a fabric grid to further control the direction of your soft light. Common applications include but are by no means limited to side lighting or top lighting a person or an object without getting as much wrap around as a conventional rectangular softbox. Also notable is the long skinny catch-light in your subjects eyes or in reflective objects. This softbox can be used with hotlights or studio strobe units.

Smallest Strip Size
The Small Video Strip Softbox is just the right size for product or still life aplications, especially useful with glassware or ceramics with a high reflective index. The strip bank will provide thinner, more atractive highlights, revealing more of the product.
Recessed Front Face
Provides more directionality and the option of using a grid to further direct your soft light
Most Flexible Softbox
Not only can the Video Pro be used with Hotlights or Flash, but it comes with different levels of diffusion screens and the option of shooting with a fabric grid.
Removable Front Face
The softbox could be used without a front face, or a diffusion fabric of a lesser strength could be substituted for increased contrast and slightly more overall output.

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.

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.

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.
