The Extra Extra Small Video Pro Plus is designed for use with hot lights up to 500 Watts, or strobes. Because of its small size and silver interior, light quality will be spectral with a faster gradation from highlight to shadow areas. The 12x16 size is ultra portable and lightweight. It can be taken on location easily. The "Plus" designation of this softbox means the front face of the softbox is removable. Chimera makes different strengths of diffusion material for front face applications. The softbox comes with a one stop diffuser, but a 1/2 or 1/4 grid cloth can be purchased separately. These would allow more light transmission and less softening of the light.
Mount this box to a large camera bracket to slightly soften and broaden an on-camera flash.
Required Speed (mounting) Rings are available separately for many manufacturers' lights.

The Chimera Small Video Pro Plus softbox is designed for use with a hotlight but may also be used with flash. With fabric intended for the heat of a continuous light, the Small Video Pro Plus with silver interior is ideal for work where maximum softening of the light is desired. The "Plus" 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 three diffuser fronts. These will allow more light transmission and help to make the light more specular, or "less soft." This softbox also has a built in "lip" around the edges to help control light spill. This lip also facilitates the attachment of optional honeycomb grids, fabric grids, and louvers.
Ideal for 3/4 length shots of adults.
Recessed front helps to control light spill and facilitates the attachment of an optional fabric grid.
May be used with hot lights up to 1,000W. Can be used with strobes of any W/s rating.
