Lightbridge, makers of the Cine Reflect Lighting Systems (CRLS), and DoPchoice have partnered up to create a new type of reflective lighting gear: The Snapbridge. It’s designed to create a soft light source with full creative control. The goal was to create a reflective system that works with all light sources and is very close to natural light while at the same time reducing the spill off the reflector. Both companies are already well known: Lightbridge for their Precision Reflectors, which offer a natural and intuitive style of illumination, and DoPchoice for their instant-up Snapbags and Snapgrids for softening and direction of most types of LED lights. Let’s take a closer look at what their new innovation has to offer! Check out our video interview, in which we talk to Jakob Ballinger (CEO of Lightbridge) and Stefan Karle (CEO of DoPchoice) about their innovation, and see the Snapbridge in action.

The lightweight device is stored in a compact pouch and snaps into its octagonal shape once it’s removed from it. It is 5 feet or 1.5 meters in diameter and nearly flat, therefore allowing it to be used even in tight spaces such as staircases or elevators.
