Fabric Grids pack up so small there's never a reason to debate bringing
them and they do a great job of keeping that famous Chimera soft light
where you want it - on the subject, not on the background. They come in a
variety of beam-widths from 20 to 60 degrees so you can pick the effect
that best suits your situation. The size of the individual cells are:
20 = 5/8"; 30 = 1 1/8"; 40 = 1"; 50 = 2"; 60 = 3".

Grids are revolutionizing the light control options for location film
and video crews and photographers. Collapsible, portable, and extremely
lightweight, fabric grids have no supporting frame of their own. These
grids hook & loop to all four sides of the CHIMERA Lightbank's front
recess area to provide a controlled beam spread.
