Chimera Shallow Video Pro Plus 1 Softbox, Medium

From the professional studios to the on-location shoots, the Chimera Shallow Video Pro Plus 1 Softbox (Medium) is an essential tool for videographers and photographers seeking to enhance their lighting setup. Designed to accommodate a broad light with a wide throw, such as a Tota light, this softbox is engineered to withstand the heat of continuous lights up to 1200W, making it a durable choice for intensive use.

Crafted with high-quality materials, the medium-sized Shallow Video Pro Plus 1 Softbox is perfect for situations where space is at a premium, yet medium softening of a broad light is required. Its efficient design ensures that even in cramped interiors, the light is diffused beautifully, creating a professional and flattering effect on the subject.

The "Plus" in its name signifies a versatile feature: the front face of the softbox is removable, allowing for quick and easy adjustments to the quality of light. Included with the softbox is a one-stop diffusion cloth, which softens the light for a more even spread. For those desiring further customization, 1/2 and 1/4 grid cloths are available as separate purchases, providing additional control over the light's intensity and spread.

This softbox also boasts an efficient, built-in "lip" around the edges, which serves to control light spill. This thoughtful design element not only enhances the quality of light but also supports the attachment of optional accessories such as honeycomb grids, fabric grids, and louvers, offering even more versatility to the lighting professional.

However, it is important to note that this softbox is specifically tailored for lights with a very wide throw. Its shallow depth means that the light from a spotlight may not spread out adequately within the box, potentially leading to uneven exposure across the front face of the softbox.

With its combination of durability, versatility, and high-quality construction, the Chimera Shallow Video Pro Plus 1 Softbox (Medium) stands out as a professional-grade tool that can significantly improve the quality of light in a variety of photographic and videographic applications.
