Made for every set

The original Snapbridge features a Lightbridge Precision Reflector surrounded by a custom-designed 5'/1.5m circular DoPchoice SNAPBOX® SLIM, offering image makers a controllable and versatile addition to the lighting pallet. Now Snapbridge introduces the compact 3ft/90cm SNAPBOX® SLIM— optimized for the smallest footprint on set, while still creating a big impact on lighting. Both the original 5-foot/1.5m and new 3-foot versions feature built-in reversable Soft and Dark choices. The white side, or Soft Mode, helps create gentle, bounced fill light around the Precision Reflector. On the reverse, the Dark Mode provides negative fill with a glow of light while reducing spill.

Bounce or kill

The SNAPBOUNCE™ fabric delivers exceptional durability, engineered for precise light control. Its white side features a matte micro-texture that scatters light to reduce direct intensity and produce a soft, even spread. The black side absorbs light to prevent reflection and enhance contrast control.

Low profile & fast.

The SNAPBRIDGE is the ideal solution in combination with your LIGHTBRIDGE reflectors DIFF 2 and DIFF 3.
TIP: Flood or spot your light source to define level of fill & key!

No tools needed.

The pin is designed to fit on the reflector kit and 16mm extension. It can be tightened by the hand screw of Lightbridge C-Wheel Receiver.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SNAPBRIDGE?

Snapbridge is a modular system combining soft bounce materials with Lightbridge reflector precision. It is available in 3ft and 5ft sizes and is designed to create soft light with a punch — ideal for working in small spaces. Its ultra-fast setup makes it perfect for lean crews and interview settings. Snapbridge works with or without reflectors and is optimized for flexibility and portability on set.

Which modes are available?

Soft Mode (white fabric) for subtle fill, Dark Mode (black inside) for controlled negative fill with edge glow. Bluff Bounces in Muslin and Day Blue available.

Why should I use bounce light?

Bounce light creates soft, natural-looking illumination by reflecting light off a surface before it hits the subject. This approach reduces harsh shadows and enhances skin tones—perfect for interviews, portraits, and cinematic looks. The SNAPBRIDGE system enhances this effect with ultra-light, low-profile frames and premium bounce materials, giving you more control and faster setup in tight spaces.

Why should I use color bounces?

Color bounces like Unbleached Muslin and Daylight Blue allow you to shape the mood and tone of your lighting with subtle color shifts. Unbleached Muslin adds warm, earthy softness to skin tones; Daylight Blue helps balance overly warm sources; and the mixed bounce offer even more creative flexibility. SNAPBRIDGE supports these fabrics via a hook-and-loop system, giving DPs and gaffers a fast, modular way to adapt the look without gels or heavy gear.

Can I use reflectors with the SNAPBRIDGE?

Yes—SNAPBRIDGE is designed to work seamlessly with Lightbridge Precision Reflectors, especially DIFF 2 and DIFF 3. The system surrounds the reflector with a parabolic octa shape and soften the bounced light. Whether you need subtle fill or more defined punch, Snapbridge lets you combine bounce and reflection in one portable tool.
