The SNAPBAG for the Astera AX1 and TITAN Tubes is cylindrical in design and is the slimmest soft box out there and sets up in a SNAP!
To handle multiple KinoFlo LED tubes DoPchoice devised convenient blanket-style Frame Adapters. The 4×4 version holds up to 8 Tubes and the 4×2 secures 4 Tubes to the sturdy frame. For the ultimate softener, version slips into DoPchoice’s instant set-up SNAPBOX.
New at Cinec 2019, the SNAPBAG for up to 3 Astera Titan or AX1 Tubes. In keeping with the all-in-one lights, the SNAPBAG is fast to set up and offers a generous 4’x2’ surface to emit pleasing soft lighting. For Astera users who prefer a box-style softener, we offers an adapter to use the snap-up 4×4 SNAPBOX® with up to 8 Astera Tubes.
I can’t believe that it was 10 years ago DoPchoice was founded and since then we have grown beyond expectations, thanks to the support of our customers and distributors. The purpose when we started the company was to create lighting tools that were compact, quick and easy to rig, yet keeping the high quality expected from cinematographers, rental houses and gaffers from around the world. We like to think we’ve kept to our mission!
We will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary at CINEC in Munich this weekend and welcome you to stop by and see us on booth 3-A08 and collect one of our special celebration cookies.
