DoPChoice Releases Astera QuikPunch Solution

DoPChoice’s Snapbag Barndoor Fit for the Astera QuikPunch offers a way to control the fixture’s focused illumination. The Snapbag's silver reflective interior amplifies light output, and softening is enabled by the included Snapcloth and Half Grid Cloth, which affix across the light face using hook-and-loop fastenings. The Snapbag’s 20"x20" front makes it fully compatible with the SGQ50W40 40º Snapgrid. Weighing 1.87 pounds, the Snapbag opens to 20.1"x20.1"x17.3". Like all Snapbags, the Barndoor Fit can be swiftly removed and folds neatly into its own compact pouch. Follow DoPChoice on Facebook and Instagram.
