The Chimera 9180 is a professional, heavy-duty circular metal speed ring designed to mount Video Pro lightbanks to medium and large cinema lighting fixtures. Featuring a precise 9-inch (230 mm) outer diameter, this adapter ring acts as a rigid, heat-resistant interface between a fixture's front accessory slot and a softbox's flexible tension poles. Machined from premium, spun and welded aluminum, the ring is engineered to seamlessly withstand the high thermal output of continuous tungsten or HMI studio lamps without warping or degrading over time.

The ring is outfitted with four dedicated pole blocks that securely support rectangular, strip, or lantern-style softboxes. Once slid into the barn door or accessory bracket of a compatible fixture, its circular design permits 360-degree rotation. This allows gaffers and cinematographers to quickly adjust the orientation and feathering of the softbox to perfectly suit the scene. Optimized for seamless workflows, the Chimera 9180 is an essential, rental-house-grade utility item that provides a stable connection for large continuous fixtures, maximizing lighting control on set.
