DoPchoice Snapbag Turns Astera QuikPunch Into a Larger, Softer Source

DoPchoice has introduced a dedicated 50×50 cm SNAPBAG for the Astera QuikPunch that mounts directly to the fixture’s barndoors, promising a fast, sag-free setup with two diffusion options and optional 40° SNAPGRID control.   Designed to live on the QuikPunch without extra hoops or speedrings, the new softbox from DoPchoice uses the existing barndoor leaves as its mounting base. The result is a compact, on-set friendly rig that sets up in seconds, expands the apparent source size, and tightens beam spill when paired with a matching grid.   Mounting Snapbag on the QuikPunch The SNAPBAG slides onto the small barndoor leaves via dedicated side pockets that are guided by stitched seams for alignment.

Once attached, the unit can be rotated and positioned with the barndoors as the base.   Inside, a silver reflective lining boosts output, while the enlarged 50×50 cm front increases the wrap compared with the bare QuikPunch, creating a broader, more flattering source for interviews, product work, or tabletop setups.   How to mount the DoPchoice Snapbag on an Astera QuikPunch.
