DoPchoice SNAPGRID for ARRI Omnibar debuts with Focus Cone technology
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.
Key Takeaways
- SNAPGRID Core supports both two-foot Omnibar 2 and four-foot Omnibar 4 linear LED units
- Lightweight construction weighs 0.30 kg for the smaller unit and 0.50 kg for the larger version
- Mounting system uses two hook-and-loop bands for direct attachment to Flat Diffusers or Intensifiers
- Collaboration with Ellar Works founder Job Kraaijeveld informed the custom-engineered cell angling
Why It Matters
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.
