DoPchoice Introduces New Softbox For Astera's QuikPunch

News Image
At IBC 2025, DoPchoice has unveiled the new Snapbag "Barndoor Fit," a softbox designed to pair with Astera's QuikPunch LED Fresnel. The new softbox provides users with a fast and efficient way to control the focused illumination of the fixture and offers even greater lighting options. The system's silver reflective interior helps to amplify light output, and it comes with a choice of included diffusion options, a full Snapcloth and a Half Grid Cloth, which can be attached with hook and loop fasteners.

Optimised for use with QuikPunch's small-sized barndoors, the leaves slide easily into the Snapbag's dedicated side pockets. A tight, robust and sag-free fit is ensured by two hook and loop fastening strips which holds the system in place even in demanding, heavy vibration environments. By rotating the barndoors, users can freely position the softbox.

At just (0.85kg/1.87-lbs), the Snapbag instantly opens to 51x51x44 cm (20.1 x 20.1 x 17.3 in). Like all Snapbags, the Barndoor Fit can be swiftly removed and folds neatly into its own compact pouch, ready for the next setup.
