Q: 3. What is the total weight of the 3.6 x 6.6 frame with the Silver/White Reversible Reflector Fabric attached?

A: The frame weighs about 3.5 lbs and the fabric weighs about 1 lb, so roughly 4.5 lbs altogether.

Q: 4. Is this or the Chimera panel more stable and durable?

A: Both panels are very stable. What sets them apart is the mounting options that they offer. This panel can use the Lastolite Grip Head for Skylite Frame/Panel Reflector B&H # LAGHSL while the Chimera panels in a similar size use a standard 2.5 grip head like the Avenger D200, B&H # AVD200. Please see the image below.

Q: 5. Does it comes with the diffusion fabric?

A: Yes the kit comes with the fabric.

Q: 6. Can you mount this to a c stand with a standard grip head or do you need the Lastolite grip head for Skylite?

A: I had ordered the Lastolite grip heads but at the time I ordered 2 of them to hold my large 6.5x6.5 Skylite panel, they were on back order & no time was given for when they would become available. I did wait for some time but when they still weren't available, I went with another type of holder that I already had several of to hold my TriFlip Grip Lastolite Reflector! I bought 2 Impact Umbrella Swivels, along with 2 Impact Super Clamps and a couple of spigots so I could mount the umbrella holders onto a light stand or C-Stand, then mounted the Super Clamps onto the umbrella swivels. You don't necessarily need the swivels but having them allows the angling of the panel into any position that you want it in! I recommend getting them! The reason I am recommending the Impact Swivels is for the small teeth in the swivel part of the device that holds a lot better than my Manfrotto swivels! So to list the items to get to make your life that much esker, here is a list of items to get! I would think that 1 set of these would hold the small panel! I have this panel & have used just 1 set up of these items & it works really well! 1 - Impact Super Clamp1 - Impact Umbrella Swivel1 - Impact Spigot - Used to hold swivel to light stand(maybe not needed but nice to have a spare)The Super Clamp comes with a special stud that can be used to attach it to the swivel, then you would need to have a spigot to fasten the swivel onto the stand! I wouldn't try to fasten any of the Skylite panels to a standard grip head due to it not having a wide enough opening to grip it correctly & the regular grip head might bend/crimp the metal on the Skylite panel! The items I have added to this description are cheaper than buying the actual Lastolite Grip Head for Skylite Panel & it works really great! I use my set up all the time & have never had any problems with slippage or bending of the metal frame!I hope this helps you in your decision for holding your Skylite panel!
