The 42 x 42" Black/Silver Panel Fabric for Frame from Chimera is a reversible fabric that attaches quickly to a separately purchased collapsible aluminum frame. The black side is handy in blocking light or absorbing it to create a ratio on overcast days. The silver side casting is highly reflective and contrasting light with a cool color temperature. The silver side is also useful as fill light at a distance for long throw work.

I started off with a 48 Pro Panel set, and then I got a few extra fabrics to add flexibility. I like this black and silver panel because (1) it's the only way to get a true silver for Chimera panels and (2) the black side is great because this fabric is a lot less stiff and than the standard Chimera black/white panel fabric, and I like the more flexible feel. The fabrics are nice and high quality. The frames are very easy to put together. The frames are perhaps slightly more difficult to take apart because you have to fight the shock cord a little bit, but it's probably worth it because you know you won't lose any of the pieces. I'm happy with pretty much every Chimera product I've tried.
