The Chimera 30 is a 30-inch lantern softbox designed for portable, omni-directional soft lighting. It produces an even, wraparound light that reduces harsh shadows and creates a natural, ambient fill in interior settings. The unit is compact to transport and fast to set up, making it suitable for location shoots and studio shoots that require soft, room-filling illumination.

Key Features
