At IBC 2025, DoPchoice reveals the Snapbag “Barndoor Fit” for the QuikPunch. Designed expressly to pair with Astera’s latest LED Fresnel, it delivers even greater lighting options for the already versatile wireless spot fixture.

DoPchoice’s instant setup softbox offers users a fast and efficient way to control the focused illumination of the QuikPunch. Thanks to the Snapbag’s silver reflective interior, light output is amplified. To soften, the system comes with a choice of included diffusion, a full Snapcloth and Half Grid Cloth which affix across the lightface using hook and loop fastenings. To command light direction, the Snapbag has a 50x50cm front making it fully compatible with the SGQ50W40 40º Snapgrid.

Optimized 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.
