DoPchoice again comes up with a unique light control solution: this time for combining multiple Astera HydraPanel lights in one softbox. Like its sister SNAPBAG® (SBATHY11) for one HydraPanel, the new versatile system (SBATHY41) fits from 2 to 4 Astera HydraPanels. It utilizes DoPchoice's SNAPSHAPE®™ material which makes setup extra quick, free from hardware, and wrinkle-free. The metallic fabric interior brightens and evens the output.
The new system is the most versatile softbox yet. A single SNAPBAG® holds 2, 3 or 4 HydraPanels safely and easily. It is what's inside that makes the difference. The choice is up to the user to customize how many HydraPanels are needed for the job. Locked together in their Flexbase, they slip right into the SNAPBAG® and lock in with hook and loop straps. For fewer lights, there are Flexi Flaps which flip over and close the openings to eliminate spill. The SNAPBAG® neatly hook-and-loops directly to the Hydrapanel fixture(s) and is fully compatible with Astera's baby pin mounting system and other accessories.

"The AIRGLOW is an easy-to-use multitool, that achieves in one beautiful package lighting techniques that used to require bouncing lights through frames, off ceilings or into polystyrenes. To have an attachment that gives so many different options, helps lead us back to the best aspects from traditional ways of lighting."
Uwe Greiner, Gaffer ICLS
"From my perspective, the AIRGLOW is ideally suited for generating a booklight even in the tightest of spaces. It is such a compact unit that it also shows its strengths as a ‘lamp’ with excellent light quality."
Brendan McGinty, DP
"This unit could be wheeled in and dimmed down for a close up and then backed off and dimmed up for a wide without the team and reset times needed for a traditional booklight. It could be re-positioned by a single technician in a heartbeat.”

The inflatable AIRGLOW frame can be filled or deflated while affixed to the light panel or detached. It transports along with air pump in a purpose made DoPchoice bag for easy storage.
