DMG Soft Key — MINI vs SL1 + SnapBag (Rosco AU & NZ)
I need a soft, flattering key.
A panel plus a softbox — beautiful skin, every time.
The classic DMG key is a MINI or SL1 behind a DoPchoice SnapBag: a big, soft, wrapping source with true skin tone. Choose the MINI for one to two people and tight spaces, or the SL1 when you need more output and a larger soft source.
How much key do you need?
The MINI (100W, 2,100 lux) is a soft, portable key for close work and interviews. The SL1 (200W, 4,100 lux) doubles the output and makes a larger, even softer source for film keys and bigger subjects. Add a SnapBag to either for the softest result.
- MINI — soft, portable, one to two people
- SL1 — more output, bigger soft source
- SnapBag softbox for the softest key
- True skin tone from the MIX engine
