Chimera Video Pro Plus One Overview

The Chimera Medium Video Pro Plus 1 Softbox 36 x 48" (90 x 120 cm) is designed for use with a hotlight but may be used with flash as well. With fabric intended for the heat of a continuous light, the Medium Video Pro Plus 1 with silver interior is ideal for work in small spaces when medium softening of the light is desired.

The 36 x 48 inch size is portable, lightweight, and can be taken on location. The "Plus 1" designation of this softbox means the front face of the softbox is removable. Chimera makes different strengths of diffusion material for front face applications. This softbox comes with a one stop diffuser, hence the "1" designation. Optional 1/2 and 1/4 grid cloths allow for more light transmission and also, less softening of the light.

The Medium size is suitable for 3/4-length portraits or interviews.
Recessed Front Face helps control light spill and facilitates the attachment of an optional fabric grid.
Required Speed (mounting) Rings are available separately for many manufacturers' light heads.

Chimera Video Pro Plus One Reviews

Does what it's supposed to

Bought this to replace a small Chimera that had yellowed after a couple decades of use with hot lights. It's riding on an Aputure 600 X pro now. Beautiful light through the Chimera, great spill control.

Quality lighting fixture!

I attach the product on one of my 300 watt Arri lights. I was impressed with the soft box bought after i purchased my Arri light kit, when it came with one Chimera Soft Box...when I realized how great it worked with my lighting, I bought a second one! Perfect for Full HD videotaping, It softens the hard light that comes with fresnel lights. It also gives me an opportunity to use strong lights, like my 300 watt, in closer interviewer situations. Also its very impressive to have matching soft box because it gives you professional looking production and you capture film-like closeups like a pro!

Between the Video Pro Plus 1 and Video Pro Plus, which softbox creates the softest light? We are using Nanlite 720B spotlights
Asked by: Shaun
There is a difference in the included clothes, otherwise both products light output is very similar. The Chimera Medium Video Pro Plus 1 Softbox 36x48" (90 x 120cm) comes with 1 f-stop Front diffusion cloth with Touch Fastener. The Chimera Video Pro Plus Softbox (Medium, 36 x 48") comes with Front Diffusion Cloth (1 Stop), Grid Cloth (1/2 Stop), Grid Cloth (1/4 Stop).

question

The OVERVIEW section says This softbox comes with a 1 stop diffuser, a 1/2 and 1/4 grid cloth. The IN THE BOX section says it only comes with a 1-stop. Which is true? I believe the latter is true, but would love some help.
