The user simply adjusts the SNAPBAGopening via dual hook and loop straps until the light is focused and angled as desired. There’salso the option of having the SNAPBAG® open faced for a harder effect or choosing softerillumination by attaching the included MAGIC CLOTH®® diffusion panel.

The Track Pin locks in the desired position and tightens for a secure mount. Resembling a spigot, the head of the Track Pin fits standard gobo heads, clamps or other set hardware for easy positioning of the fixture complete with the SNAPBAG®.

"The AIRGLOW is an easy-to-use multitool, that achieves in one beautiful package lighting techniques that used to require bouncing lights through frames, off ceilings or into polystyrenes. To have an attachment that gives so many different options, helps lead us back to the best aspects from traditional ways of lighting."
"From my perspective, the AIRGLOW is ideally suited for generating a booklight even in the tightest of spaces. It is such a compact unit that it also shows its strengths as a ‘lamp’ with excellent light quality."
"This unit could be wheeled in and dimmed down for a close up and then backed off and dimmed up for a wide without the team and reset times needed for a traditional booklight. It could be re-positioned by a single technician in a heartbeat.”
SNAPBAG® REINVENTED
Adding AIRGLOW to a panel simplifies the setup to a single, easily repositioned fixture, which can be oriented horizontally or vertically. Lightweight and quick to set up, it eliminates the need for extra stands, leaving a smaller footprint on busy sets.
The inflatable AIRGLOW frame can be filled or deflated while affixed to the light panel or detached. It transports along with air pump in a purpose made DoPchoice bag for easy storage.
