Hi there,
Have been looking online to buy some softboxes for my 3 Arri 800w Red Heads. I see the Chimera 29 that has been suggested. Are there any suggestions for more affordable soft boxes that wont burn up and that work great? I have been using diffuse gels so far due to my extremely limited budget.
would love to hear any great suggestions you guys have.
thanks

If you are looking for a CHEAP solution and you need well-built softboxes (imperative when used with red heads), well, you won't find anything cheap.

It's either you pay for high quality chimeras that will resist the heavy heat of the red heads. Or, you get some heavy diffusion like 4x4 frames with 250 gels on it.

Gelled frames will be cheaper than the softboxes.
 
Hi Derrick,
Nice to see another South African online that isn't watching the football ;-)
Thanks for your advice have emailed their supplier in SA to get pricing.
