It there a softbox/umbrella-softbox solution for both photography and videography?

I would like to utilize the spftbox for photography and videography when needed. The umbrella-softbox/softbox need to be able to handle heat, of course!

What are my options?

Thanks!

Just buy photoflex and other brands (chimera for example) modifiers which can easily handle hot lights. I wouldn't pick cheaper ebay, amazon stuff. Photoflex will be best option for price and still very good quality.

Profoto also make a Heat Resistant (HR) line of soft boxes. I have the 7 foot octa and 4x6. Both are super robust. Like bobbyz said Chimera are the industry standard for hot light soft boxes.
