Dedolight v.s. Chimera Softbox

[Tom Plapper]

Does anyone have an opinion on these 2 softbox options I'm considering from B & H. I'm more interested in quality than price.

Chimera Video Pro 1 Small Softbox kit. $ 539

Dedolight 600 Watt Softlight kit $ 1399

Would these be good options for interview type lighting?

Any other options would be appreciated. Chinese lanterns?

Thanks to all of you in advance.

Aren't you comparing a Chimera w/o a lighting fixture to a Dedolight that does have a fixture?

The Dedolights are great, no doubt about it. Fantastically focusable (not that it matters when you're using it into a softbox, but it's added versatility when out), dimmable. Top-notch lights all around.... except for the price. They are wickedly expensive.
