Already discover our a new Airtube 360?
360 stands for 360° illuminated surface made out of Magic Cloth.
Turn your LED COB light into a long softtube without the need of a tube light. Simply inflate it and attach it in front of your suitable LED, e.g. Aputure F10 Fresnel in combination with 600D or 600 C MkII. Benefit from all the features of your LED fictures, such as color selection, effects, and dimming. Additionally, the AIRTUBE offers a 180° Ultrabouce Cover to cover half of the Airtube to reduce your light aperture. We still rely on high-quality and proven materials, such as the motion picture technical fabrics Magic Cloth® and Ultrabounce® from TRP worldwide. Included with every AIRTUBE are a skirt and a spill light cover. Both the skirt and the spill light cover are made of black opaque fabric, which absorbs 99% of the light.
The skirt is made of one parts to cover one side of the AIRTUBE. There is also a spill light cover which is attached to the AIRTUBE's fleece band by Velcro.
Our AIRTUBE is "Made in Germany".

FAQs
We are using special motion picture technical fabrics from TRP Worldwide (The Rag Place). Especially Black/White Ultrabounce® and Magic Cloth®.
The AIRTUBE is build for maximum ~12 PSI/0,83 bar. The seams of the textile will start to tear apart, when exceeding the air pressure. Be careful when using an air compressor and always keep an eye on the air pressure when inflating. The transparent body can withstand a temperature of up to 212°F/100°C. Discoloration, deformation or even holes can then appear.
During our quality control we sort out bad materials. But maybe we simply have overlooked something. Just contact us and send us a picture. Furthermore it may happen that due to the production process there might be a crease or seam we cannot avoid.
We highly recommend to store the AIRTUBE gently rolled up on the cardboard roll and inside the protective sleeve to reduce kinks, wrinkles and containments.
Yes. Just contact us for more details.
The AIRTUBE is primarily intended for LED tubes, LED bars and very narrow LED panels from the film, show and TV industry. However, all types of light tubes, bars, panels and strips can be used, which can be securely fixed on the outside. You should pay attention to the fact that broken glass can damage the AIRTUBE when using Kinoflo lamps or normal fluorescent tubes and always be aware of overheating. In any case, you must not exceed the material limits of the AIRTUBE and you should always act with common sense.
Since the air valve of our AIRTUBE has a common inlet size ~0.68"/1,75cm you can use almost every air pump/blower already on the market. At the moment we do not offer a special air pump/blower.
Depending on the product, we offer separate parts for exchange.
Use warm water and gentle soap for the white translucent Magic Cloth® and for the black Ultrabounce® please use a multi-purpose cleaner (e.g. Formula 409 Cleaner) or warm water with gentle soap. Also a microfaber cloth is always very useful.
When operating in a warm environment and using the spill light cover, overheating problems can occur. Just make sure there is enough space for some air circulation.
