Dual-Layer Protection for Astra 1x1

The Porta Brace Astra 1x1 combination case provides heavy-duty transport for a single Litepanels Astra 1x1 LED panel with its yoke attached. A 1000-denier Cordura nylon soft shell wraps a PB-2750 hard case, creating a shoot-ready system that shields the fixture from impacts and vibration during travel. The three-side zip opens flat so the light can be deployed quickly on location.

Thermals Noise and Power

The case operates passively with no fans, power draw or acoustic signature of its own. Its semi-rigid 1 1/2-inch foam frame insulates the panel from temperature swings in transit while adding no electrical load. Silent protection is maintained whether the case sits in a vehicle or on a cart.

Build Quality and Daily Use

Triple-bonded nylon threads reinforce every seam for long-life durability in harsh field conditions. A padded suede-leather shoulder strap and a light-stand pocket with cinch strap distribute carry weight comfortably. The large front pocket uses a collapsible divider system to organise cables and accessories, while an interior zip pocket holds gel frames.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the case so the Litepanels Astra 1x1 is ready to shoot straight out of the bag?

Unzip the three sides, lay the case flat and lift the Astra with its yoke still attached; the semi-rigid 1 1/2-inch foam frame holds the panel securely so no re-mounting is needed.

What part of the case will need attention first after repeated field use?

The 1000-denier Cordura shell and triple-bonded stitching are built for long life, but the padded suede-leather shoulder strap will show wear before the ballistic nylon and can be replaced separately.

What limits how much gear I can carry inside the hard case during extended trips?

The PB-2750 hard case is custom-fitted for a single Astra 1x1 unit; the interior zip pocket only fits extra gel frames, so additional lights or large modifiers must travel in a second case.
