This DoPchoice Snapbag Softbox for Astra 1x1 LED Lights from Litepanels gets its name from its rapid mounting design that requires no speedring. The Snapbag's high-intensity silver fabric interior maximizes output and folds flat when not in use. Optional Snapgrids are available to narrow the beam and control spill light. The Snapbag fits all versions of the Astra 1x1.

Really Great!
I was going to buy the cheaper versions of these, but I decided since I spent so much on the lights, I better buy the ones LitePanels uses. I'm glad I did. These work great, are easy to setup and are very compact when transporting. Be sure to read the instructions when putting them on and taking them off, since there is a tiny learning curve. Otherwise, these are great and are definitely worth the extra money to spend on them.

Easy fast setup
This is exactly what I was looking for. I'd been disappointed with the look of my first generation bare LP 1x1. Having used Chimeras on my open source lights for years I was longing for a soft box specifically designed for a 1x1 panel. The Snapbag is easy and quick to deploy. I opted to get a set of Astras instead of the Astra Soft and augment the fixtures with the Snapbags. I think this combo gives the most flexibility because you get all the power of the regular Astra but can soften it with the Sandbag. I have not been able to thoroughly evaluate the characteristics of the light coming out of the Sandbag but my first time using them produced nice results. Overall very happy with the purchase.

Must have accessory for Astra 1X1
I finally broke down and got these after fixing 216 with gaf to my Astras. I don't know why I waited- These soft boxes are a snap to put on, really! They soften and shape the output of the Astra perfectly! The combination of a 1x1 and this soft box makes arguably the most important lighting tool on the market today!

Better than Chimera when used with Astra
I now have 4 Astras, 2 with the Chimera universal LED Lightbank and 2 with the LitePanels Snapbag. Here are the differences...1) The Chimera blocks the Astra's side vents unless you prop the sides of the Chimera over the knobs (kind of a pain). The Snapbag does not block the vents at all. 2) The Chimera uses an opaque plastic faceplate to maintain the soft box's shape. Unless diffused, the light can add a sheen to on-camera talent. The Snapbag has a metal frame and uses a cloth faceplate available in 3 different densities. Faceplates on both units are attached with velcro. 3) The Chimera is lighter weight and less expensive than the Snapbag. 4) A 50 degree grid is available for the Chimera. A 40 degree grid is available for the Snapbag. Bottom line...you can get pretty much the same look from both soft boxes, but you'll work a lot harder to get it with the Chimera. For the LitePanels Astra, the Snapbag is the better choice.

Takes the edge off harsh LED sources. Must have with a 1x1 kit.

Overpriced
This softbox is incredibly overpriced but needed to diffuse light from teh Astra 1x1.� Does the job, but just looks and feels cheap.� We purchased a pair of softboxes for our Aputure LEDs (but they don't fit the Astra) and they look/feel better than this at literally less than a tenth the cost.

Great for Quick Setup.
Breaks down small and is easy to carry. Quick set up but does not soften light as much as one would hope. Needs an internal baffle. Good for quick one light interviews but carry extra diffusion material or try the addition front screen set.

Astra Soft box
Does the job, but way overpriced.
Initial install took a bit of doing because it kept coming off the corners.
Once on it works fine. Built to allow air flow into the side vents.
