DoPchoice has introduced the SNAPGRID Core, a flexible honeycomb-style light shaper designed for ARRI Omnibar 2 and 4 linear LED fixtures. The product features a 40-degree cell structure and a Focus Cone effect to provide enhanced illumination control for professional lighting environments.
The introduction of specialized grids for linear LED fixtures addresses a specific technical challenge in high-end virtual production and studio environments where light spill must be tightly controlled without adding significant weight to the rig. By integrating the Focus Cone effect, DoPchoice and ARRI are providing cinematographers with more precise directional control that mimics the natural wrap of traditional sources while maintaining the efficiency of LED arrays. This launch signals a maturing accessory market for modular LED systems, where hardware interoperability between specialized manufacturers like Ellar Works and major OEMs is becoming a standard requirement. Watch for adoption rates among rental houses to see if this becomes the default modifier for the Omnibar ecosystem.
The ARRI ALEXA 35 cinematography dominance in recent film festivals highlights the growing demand for high-end production tools that integrate seamlessly with advanced lighting modifiers. For those looking to expand their lighting kit, the Aputure STORM CS32 launch offers another powerful option for high-end production, while the Cartoni Lambda 15 nodal head provides further support for complex virtual production workflows. Recent IBC 2026 production hardware trends suggest that such modular accessories will continue to see increased integration with automated studio systems.
DoPchoice has launched the SNAPGRID Core for ARRI Omnibar LED fixtures at IBC2026. This new light shaper uses a 40-degree cell structure and Focus Cone technology to concentrate light and prevent edge falloff. It provides cinematographers with precise directional control, essential for managing light spill in high-end virtual production environments.
The Focus Cone effect concentrates illumination toward the center of the far field, which helps prevent edge falloff on longer linear LED fixtures.
The SNAPGRID Core supports both the two-foot Omnibar 2 and the four-foot Omnibar 4 linear LED units.
The system uses two hook-and-loop bands for direct attachment to the fixture's Flat Diffusers or Intensifiers.
The smaller unit weighs 0.30 kg, while the larger version designed for the four-foot Omnibar 4 weighs 0.50 kg.
