Chimera Softbox

Chimeras are a brand of softboxes for a variety of different light fixtures. They have 4 components. The Softbox itself, a removable face, poles, and a speedring.

There are a few different styles of softboxes.

• Quartz - Shallower bank designed for use with open face lights.

• Daylight - A daylight bank is much deeper than other banks. Designed for fresnel lights.

• Video Pro - A low wattage softbox with a shallow bank. These are mostly used on tungsten lights 1k and below and HMI's 800 and below.

• Octabank - A rounded softbox with 8 poles instead of 4. Mostly used for interview or beauty lighting.

• Plus - It is uncommon to see this deliniation much anymore, but plus banks are the ones with the removable faces. Non-Plus banks have a full chimera white sewn in.
