The medium, 36 x 48" Chimera Shallow Video Pro Plus 1 is designed for use with a broad light with a wide throw, such as a Tota light. With fabric rated for the heat of a continuous light up to 1200 watts, the medium Shallow Plus 1 is ideal for work in cramped interiors where medium softening of a broad light is desired.

The "Plus" designation of this softbox means the front face of the softbox is removable. This softbox comes with a one stop diffusion cloth. 1/2 and 1/4 grid cloths are available separately.

This softbox 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.

This softbox is only for lights with a very wide throw. The shallow depth of this softbox will not allow the light from a spotlight to spread out adequately within the box. Exposure then would not be as even across the entire front face of the softbox.

Recessed front helps to control light spill and facilitates the attachment of an optional grid or louvers.

Equates to more headroom if the box is used overhead or easier maneuvering in cramped interior shoots.

Required speed (mounting) rings are available separately for many manufacturers' lights.
