Q: 1. Is this comparable with ProFoto heads?

A: The HIVE LIGHTING Photo Zoom Reflector 3-Grid with Barndoors Kit is compatible with many of the Profoto brand strobes. If the strobe has a quartz lamp you might want to not have that on all the time for the heat.

Q: 2. are there any video tutorials showing how i can use this light as a background light for video interviews...ie gobo projections (in/or or out of focus), scatter gels etc...how would this work? similar to the dedolight projection attachment...is it possible with this light? I would rather buy this than an expensive dedo....

A: Unfortunately, there aren't any video tutorials specifically on these fixtures when used as a background light. While you cannot use a projection lens with this fixture other than the dedicated lenses for it, you can use a cucoloris pattern in front of the light to produce a break up pattern against the background. One such product is the Matthews Cucoloris - 24x36 - Wood B&H # MACW2436 which can be held up by a C-stand such as the Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Head Kit, Black - 10.5' (3.2m) B&H # MALSC40HWB in front of the Wasp 100-C. Please see the images below for reference.

Q: 3. Do I need any extra accessories to mount this on a "5/8 stub on a scissor clamp?

Q: 5. If I wanted to use some sort of DC power distro, what would that be? To find a DC power source with enough amp output, I'd need to know if the max consumption of a 200-C 150W at 24V or 36V?

A: 150W at 24V is about 6 amps. 150W at 36V is just under 4 amps.

Q: 7. With colors, how bright is this fixture? I want to hit a mottled dark muslin backdrop about 10 feet away. Some have said I need the equivalent of 650 watts. Yes? No?

A: This fixture will pretty easily be visible on a dark background at 10'. Bright is a relative thing It depends on if it is for the human eye or for a camera and what those settings are.

Q: 8. Which Chimera Pancake would make better use of the light spread?

A: When the reflector is removed there is supposed to be a 180 degree spread. I'm planning to use a medium pancake lantern with the Wasp 100-C. I think the important thing is how you want to use the light and how much output may fill either a small area or a large room.

Q: 9. Do these work with gold mount batteries?

Q: 10. Are these light really bright? My current fresnel leds are a bit soft. I would be using them with a softbox.

A: The output of the light really depends on which reflectors you are using with the source. The 22 degree reflector and the 10 degree super spot will give you the most output. If you want more light you can pair the 22 degree reflector with a softbox. If you remove the reflectors you will get a 180 degree spread which makes for a very even source but it will lose a lot of the output into the diffusion.
