charles g clark Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hi, I was looking at the American Arri lighting catalogue (by error, I’m in the uk) and noticed that Arri doesn’t list chimeras anymore for the arrilite plus, but instead lists white translucent umbrellas and a stand adaptor (the Europe catalogue doesn’t have these and still lists chimeras) just wondering if anyone has used these or had experience of umbrellas with tungsten lighting? Do they need to be of a certain spec for heat? They seem like they would be handy in certain scenarios. Any experiences out there? I have chimeras for my 750’s but nothing for my 2000 plus and was interested in adding one to my kit The only places I can find the Arri umbrella is on us websites like adorama etc I’m guessing it’s a manfrotto umbrella that’s been rebadged. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Conley Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Long time ago and only with the Lowel DP 1000watt. They do indeed need to be made from a heat resistant fabric, even then Lowel had a warning: Warning: To prevent damage to umbrella, do not focus to spot or half-spot position as scorching of the umbrella may occur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
