DoPchoice has announced new Snapgrids for ProLights ECL Softlinear and the EclPanel TWCXL. They will also be showing new light modifier concepts for the Astera Hydra at IBC 2022 in Amsterdam.

To increase the versatility of ProLights’ just-introduced ECL Softlinear fixture, DoPchoice has introduced a brand new 50-degree Snapgrid. Sized for optimum fit, when installed it measures 98.5cm x 9cm x 12cm / 38.8in x 3.5in x 4.7in and weighs just 0.36kg / 0.8 lb. The SGPLSLIPW50 slips on in a snap, contouring to the fixture’s profile and affixing with hook-n-loop. The professionally sewn and reinforced corners have been made to withstand the rigors of field use. Like all DoPchoice Snapgrids, it compactly rolls in and out of its own storage pouch for safe-keeping.

Also for the first time, DoPchoice is now offering a 40° Snapgrid for ProLights’ EclPanel TWCXL. The 40° Snapgrid slips on the EclPanel via elastic straps for instant light control. The 1.5kg / 3.3-lb Snapgrid SGPLTWCXL40 measures: 135cm x 94cm x 12cm / 53.1in x 37in x 4.7 inches installed. In addition to the Snapgrid, DoPchoice will soon offer the new Fat Rabbit Frame and 8-ft. Double Hex Snapbag for this fixture.
