DoPchoice Unveils SNAPBAG® Round for Astera QuikBeam

DoPchoice has announced the launch of the SNAPBAG® Round, a creative expansion designed specifically for the compact Astera QuikBeam.

This new accessory is engineered to transform the punchy Fresnel spot into a significantly larger and rounder soft light source, enhancing its utility for close-ups and interviews while maintaining the portable "go-anywhere" nature of the original fixture. By utilizing a silver reflective interior, the SNAPBAG® Round maximises light efficiency, allowing filmmakers to achieve a flattering, natural glow without a heavy loss in brightness.

Designed exclusively for the Astera QuikBeam, the SNAPBAG® Round maintains a compact footprint both when packed and fully set up, perfectly matching the fixture’s go-anywhere philosophy. Despite its small size, it instantly shapes the output into a larger round surface, creating flattering, natural-looking illumination ideal for interviews, closeups, and eye light. The silver reflective fabric interior maximizes brightness and efficiency, ensuring impressive output even when diffusion is applied.

The SNAPBAG® Round offers multiple diffusion options for flexible light control. A Quarter Grid Cloth baffle mounts inside the bowl to soften the beam internally. Included are Half Grid and SNAPCLOTH, interchangeable shower cap-style front diffusions, so users can select different softness levels. For maximum intensity and a more direct look, the unit can also be used open face, sans diffusion.

Set up is fast. SNAPBAG® Round pops instantly out of its black pouch into a rigid bowl shape. Single hook and loop straps secure its round semi-circular form, while a rear elastic attaches the mounting ring via two slots. Next, the mounting ring connects directly to the fixture’s front ears to complete the assembly. The front diffusion stretches shower cap-style, easily across the front.

SNAPBAG® Round tucks seamlessly into the Astera QuikBeam 4-Unit PrepCase Kit and standard case configurations. Each SNAPBAG® Round comes folded in a durable black pouch with a locking drawstring closure and a clear vinyl pocket for product identification.
