Dramatically soften the light from your flash or strobe unit with this small 9 x 36" Super Pro X Plus Stripbank from Chimera, which features a white interior for greater softening of the light. The strip shape are thinner than standard softboxes and creates a narrow light that is well-suited to accent and rim lighting. The softbox also offers a removable interior baffle and front diffuser panel for creating extremely soft lighting. This X Plus model offers a more form fitting design for the light, ensuring less light escapes from the rear of the modifier. Also, it can accept optional grids and can mount to a variety of different light types with many types of speed rings which are available separately.

Q: 1. What is the difference between the Chimera 1135 and this 1130 model?

A: The Super Pro X bank, model 1130 would now feature a clean close back that wraps around the lighting fixture without excess material. This allows for smoother rotation of the softbox.

Q: 2. What's this difference between this and the discontinued Chimera 1035?

A: The only difference is the shape of the back of the lightbank, the old model 1035 has a design that if it's not installed properly , you may lost some amount of the light bounced to the back of the lightbank. Now the new design of the back makes all the light will be bounced to the front so this makes a little more efficient. both of them will work like a dream. I strongly suggest to use a Quick Release Speed Ring from Chimera to your brand strobes. this also become more efficient timing in order to collapse the light bank for transportation and a Chimera Fabric Grid for occlusion of the angle of the light. All my softboxes are Chimera, and works perfectly.
