Before the Chimera OB2 PRO Kit, photographers struggled with the bulky and cumbersome nature of traditional beauty dishes. Now, with the innovative design of the 24" Octa 2 collapsible softbox and the 2800OP Versi Octa Speed Ring, on-camera flash users can effortlessly capture that unique Octa-quality light. The Chimera OB2 PRO Kit revolutionizes the way photographers use beauty dishes, which have been a staple in the industry for their ability to provide a unique blend of diffused light with a crisp edge. The Octa 2 Collapsible Beauty Dish, a key component of this kit, is a game-changer with its lightweight and foldable design, making it as portable as a softbox. This kit offers versatility, allowing you to use the beauty dish in classic mode with the included center bounce disc for a softer light effect, or without it for a harder, bare bulb look. For a more immersive lighting experience, add the included front diffuser to transform your beauty dish into a 2" OctaPlus Lightbank, renowned for its wrap-around light quality and circular catchlights. The 24" beauty dish is compatible with standard OctaPlus speed rings or the Versi Octa speed ring for on-camera flash use. The kit also includes the Chimera Adjustable Versi Bracket Octa Speed Ring, designed to accommodate most professional-sized camera flash units with a height of 4.5 - 7.5" (11.43 - 19 cm), measured from base to middle of the reflector. In essence, the Chimera OB2 PRO Kit is a comprehensive solution for photographers seeking portability, versatility, and the high-quality light output that Chimera is known for.

I also purchased this beauty dish because of the portability aspect. It folds up nice and flat in the included carrying case. As the interior doesn't have the typical silver coating (its kind of white plastic), was wondering if it would produce flattering light. But the engineers at Chimera seem to know their stuff because so far, I've been very pleased with the results. It's worth it to buy the kit if you plan to use it with a flash. It works great with a Canon 580EX or 600EX speedlite. The one take away involves the connection of the flash bracket to the speedring. It's attached with two sheet metal screws. So in addition to having to pack a phillips-head screwdriver (not a big deal), you want to be very careful not to loose a screw because both are needed in order to properly hold the speedring.

Great Light and Portable

I have a series of portraits I've been working on as a special project which involves traveling. My kit has to be simple, durable and easy to travel with. Everything I take with me has to fit in a backpack.
I was looking for a beauty dish but the problem is traveling with one. It's too bulky and awkward. That was why I chose the Chimera portable dish. It's lightweight, packs small, and provides great light.
When you purchase the kit you get both the dish and the speedring. If you buy the dish by itself, that's all you get, you have to purchase the speedring (which the rods attach to)separately.(??)
Chimera manufactures to very high standards. You will get quality and durability, and will pay for it. If you have the budget, this is an indispensable piece of equipment.
