Kelvin Square Softbox Snapbag for Play Series

Kelvin Square Softbox Snapbag for Play Series – Precision Light Control Attachment

The Kelvin Square Softbox Snapbag for Play Series is a game-changing light modifier engineered specifically for filmmakers, photographers, and content creators who demand maximum light control, rapid setup, and flawless diffusion on set or on location. Designed in collaboration with DoPchoice, this professional-grade softbox is precision-matched to the Kelvin Play Series LED fixtures, providing seamless compatibility without the need for additional accessories or adapters. Measuring 33 × 26 × 19 cm when in use, and packing down compactly to 38 × 25 × 8 cm, it maintains an ultra-lightweight build at just 0.3 kg (0.7 lbs), making it one of the most portable and travel-friendly modifiers in its class. Whether you’re shooting in a studio or running and gunning in the field, the Snapbag’s collapsible architecture and ultra-fast, tool-free setup—thanks to its proprietary quick-locking arm system—ensure you're always ready to roll, saving you valuable setup time without compromising quality.

Inside, the Snapbag features a high-intensity silver reflective lining that amplifies light output while preserving beautiful, natural diffusion. This internal silver finish enhances beam strength and shape without introducing harshness, allowing it to project smooth, wraparound lighting ideal for interviews, portraiture, commercial shoots, and more. Included with the Snapbag are two interchangeable diffusion panels: the Magic Cloth, known for delivering the softest, creamiest light without hotspots, and the Half Grid Cloth, which offers a perfect balance between softness and light intensity—giving you total creative control over your scene’s mood and tone. Whether you're aiming for cinematic shadow roll-off or sharp keylight accents, this Snapbag empowers you to sculpt light with surgical precision.

One of its standout features is its tool-less design, eliminating the cumbersome and often time-consuming need for speed rings or mounting hardware. Simply push the Snapbag open and lock it into place with a pinch—it’s that fast and intuitive. It also supports optional Snapgrids, which can be attached to narrow the beam angle and eliminate unwanted spill, making it easier to control light direction and maintain focus on your subject. This flexibility allows users to tailor their lighting setup based on scene demands, giving you professional-grade results without the learning curve. The Kelvin Snapbag is not just a softbox—it’s a modular lighting system upgrade that scales with your creative ambitions.

More than just functional, this Snapbag is built for longevity with high-grade materials engineered to endure the rigors of professional production environments. Its silver-lined interior maximizes output and efficiency, while the durable fabrics resist wear and tear even with frequent fold-outs and breakdowns. This makes it an excellent investment for those seeking equipment that performs flawlessly time after time. Included in the kit are the Snapbag itself, both diffusion cloths (Magic Cloth and Half Grid), and a rugged carry bag for safe storage and transport. And with a 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty, you can trust that your investment is backed by long-term support and reliability.

In a saturated market of generic modifiers, the Kelvin Square Softbox Snapbag for Play Series sets a new standard by combining intuitive usability with uncompromising light quality. It’s a must-have for professionals and ambitious creatives who demand portable, adaptive, and studio-quality lighting anywhere their work takes them. When you choose Kelvin, you're not just buying a product—you’re investing in precision-engineered lighting innovation that elevates every frame you capture.

Features:

Custom-Built for Kelvin Play Series LED Fixtures

Unlike generic softboxes that require adapters or make compromises in fit, the Kelvin Square Softbox Snapbag is engineered specifically for the Kelvin Play Series. This ensures seamless integration with your lighting setup, eliminating compatibility issues and maximizing performance. The mounting system is built to the exact specifications of the Kelvin Play Series, resulting in a snug, stable fit without the need for extra hardware. It’s a purpose-designed modifier that enhances both usability and reliability for professional use.

Quick-Locking, Tool-Free Setup Saves Valuable Time

The Snapbag’s proprietary quick-locking arm mechanism means no speed rings, no screws, and no fiddling on set. Just push the arms to open and pinch to lock. This user-focused design allows you to set up in seconds, not minutes. Whether you're working under time constraints, shooting multiple locations in a day, or simply want to streamline your workflow, this tool-less setup makes a huge difference. It's engineered to reduce downtime and keep you shooting efficiently.

Collapsible, Lightweight, and Travel-Friendly Design

At just 0.3 kg (0.7 lbs) and with packed dimensions of 38 × 25 × 8 cm, the Snapbag is built for mobility. It folds down compactly into its included carrying bag, making it ideal for travel shoots, mobile productions, or tight storage environments. Its featherlight construction doesn’t add bulk to your gear bag but still offers the professional-grade light diffusion needed for high-quality results. Portability meets performance in a way that’s perfect for creators on the move.

High-Intensity Silver Interior for Maximum Light Output

Inside the Snapbag is a high-reflective silver fabric that intensifies and redirects light more efficiently than standard white interiors. This feature dramatically improves the brightness and reach of your light source without requiring more power. Even without an internal baffle, the light remains soft but punchy, making it ideal for situations where output strength is critical—such as outdoor interviews or commercial product shoots.

Dual Diffusion Screens Included for Versatile Light Control

This softbox comes with two interchangeable diffusion cloths to suit different shooting conditions:

• Magic Cloth: Delivers ultra-soft, flattering light with gentle wraparound and smooth shadows—ideal for portraiture, interviews, or beauty lighting.
• Half Grid Cloth: Offers a brighter, slightly harder light with more texture, perfect for situations where output is needed with controlled softness.

Switching between them is simple and tool-free, giving you full creative flexibility on set without needing to carry extra modifiers.

Optional Snapgrid Compatibility for Precise Beam Shaping

For even greater lighting control, the Snapbag supports optional Snapgrids (sold separately). These grids attach to the front and narrow the beam spread, preventing light spill and allowing you to focus light exactly where you want it. This is critical for dramatic lighting setups, backlight control, and shaping light in tight or complex scenes. The Snapgrid-ready design makes this Snapbag a modular system that grows with your creative needs.

Built with Durable, Professional-Grade Materials

From the stitching to the tension arms to the reflective interior fabric, every material used in the Snapbag is production-grade. It’s designed to withstand the wear and tear of frequent travel, setups, and breakdowns without sacrificing performance. Whether you're on a controlled studio set or shooting in unpredictable outdoor conditions, this softbox is rugged enough to keep up with your pace.

Optimized Dimensions for Balanced Light Coverage

With installed dimensions of 33 × 26 × 19 cm, the Snapbag provides a balanced light spread that’s wide enough for soft key lighting and tight enough for controlled highlights. Its form factor makes it highly adaptable—large enough to create a noticeable softening effect but compact enough to be used in smaller spaces or rigs. It hits the sweet spot between portability and effective light diffusion.
