PRECISION LIGHT SHAPING

The Chimera Lightbank for the SkyPanel S360-C is crafted to provide superior light control and diffusion, essential for achieving professional-grade results. Its generous front diffusion area effectively expands the apparent size of the light source, resulting in a wrap-around softness that minimises harsh shadows and flatters subjects. This precision light shaping capability allows gaffers to sculpt light with unprecedented accuracy, from broad, gentle washes to more focused, directional beams when combined with optional accessories. The internal reflective surfaces are engineered to maximise light efficiency, ensuring that the substantial output of the S360-C is channeled and distributed with minimal loss, delivering vibrant and true-to-life illumination.

ROBUST CONSTRUCTION AND DURABILITY

Durability is a key aspect of the Chimera Lightbank for the SkyPanel S360-C, built to withstand the rigours of professional film sets and photo studios.
Fabrication: Constructed from high-quality, heat-resistant materials that ensure resilience under continuous use with the powerful SkyPanel S360-C.
Framework: Features a robust internal frame structure that maintains the lightbank's shape and integrity, even during frequent assembly and disassembly.
Seams and Stitching: All seams are expertly sewn and reinforced, guaranteeing longevity and preventing light leakage or fraying over time.
Portability: While designed for substantial light modification, its thoughtful construction allows for efficient breakdown and storage in a compact carrying case, facilitating easy transport between locations.

ENHANCED DIFFUSION AND CONTROL

This light modifier elevates the native output of the ARRI SkyPanel S360-C by offering advanced diffusion and beam control.
Front Diffusion Panel: The large, removable front diffusion screen softens the light significantly, creating a broad, even spread that is ideal for key light, fill light, or overall ambient illumination.
Optional Grids: Compatible with various fabric grids (sold separately), allowing for precise beam control and spill reduction, enabling users to direct light exactly where it's needed and achieve higher contrast ratios.
Internal Baffle System: Some configurations may include internal baffles or egg crates to further refine the light output, offering additional layers of control over softness and beam angle.
Versatility: The design accommodates a range of creative lighting techniques, from subtle facial modelling to broad area illumination, making it exceptionally adaptable to diverse production needs.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION AND USABILITY

Designed specifically for the ARRI SkyPanel S360-C, the Chimera Lightbank offers unparalleled ease of use and seamless integration.
Mounting System: Utilises a custom-engineered mounting system that securely attaches to the S360-C without requiring additional tools, ensuring a quick and reliable setup.
Assembly: Intuitive assembly process, allowing gaffers and lighting technicians to rapidly deploy and pack down the lightbank, optimising efficiency on set.
Accessibility: Maintains access to the SkyPanel's controls and adjustments, ensuring that the light's features can be manipulated even when the lightbank is attached.
Stability: The balanced design ensures that the SkyPanel remains stable on its stand or suspension system, even with the added size and weight of the lightbank.

CLASSIFICATION
