DoPchoice introduces SNAPBAG system for Vortex2 at Cine Gear Expo

The new modular SNAPBAG for Vortex2 comes with SNAPGRID and SNAPCLOTH diffusion options designed for both single and dual-fixture configurations. Discover it at Cine Gear Expo 2026.

DoPchoice’s new light-shaping system for the new Creamsource Vortex2 expands the fixture’s versatility. At the heart of the system is the new SNAPBAG for Vortex2, developed to add light control options for the panel, either while in its punchy open-faced mode or its Soft configuration. Measuring 61.5 cm x 40.5 cm x 26 cm (24.2″ x 15.9″ x 10.2″) and weighing only 0.6 kg, each SNAPBAG mounts quickly and securely via durable elastic straps for a lightweight, reliable softbox solution.

The SNAPBAG’s internal Quarter Grid Cloth baffle offers even, homogenous output that can be further softened with two front diffusion options: a standard SNAPCLOTH and a Half Grid Cloth. Two dedicated SNAPGRIDs offer additional directional control: the SNAPGRID for Vortex2 Direct Fit affixes directly to the panel face, while the 40° SNAPGRID attaches to the SNAPBAG, with or without added diffusion.

The system takes the versatility of the Vortex2 even further with its modular dual-fixture capability. Two SNAPBAG units connect via hook and loop to form a single extended source positioned side by side for a wide, elongated format. Both the SNAPCLOTH and SNAPGRID scale to match, available in both a single-unit size and an extended 2x size. The 2x SNAPGRID spans 125.5 cm (49.4″), transforming two compact fixtures into a highly controllable large-format source optimal for shooting tabletop work, in studios with low overhead clearance, or wherever a broader wraparound is desired, but space is at a premium. All accessories easily attach whether the fixture is on a stand or suspended via its rear housing LNX Mount Pin. A carry bag is included for transport and storage.

DoPchoice says that “this new modular SNAPBAG system for Vortex2 allows users to move seamlessly from a compact single-fixture setup to a larger connected source using the same family of accessories. The complete Vortex2 accessory family, including the SBCV2 SNAPBAG, SGCV2W40 SNAPGRID, SGR64W40 SNAPGRID, SBCV2-SM2 Front Diffusion SNAPCLOTH and SGCV2SB2W40 SNAPGRID, will be shown during Cine Gear Expo 2026 weekend, where visitors can experience the system firsthand and explore its creative possibilities.”
