AOI SNT-01 Snoot for AOI Q1 Series Strobes

Three apertures, one compact system — for the UCS-Q1 series strobes.

Simple, Light, Effective

The SNT-01 is a straightforward snoot that shapes your strobe's output into a focused beam, isolating subjects against clean, dark backgrounds. No optics, no complexity — just three interchangeable aperture pieces that let you choose your beam width and shoot.

Designed exclusively for AOI's UCS-Q1 series strobes, the SNT-01 delivers classic snoot results at a fraction of the weight and cost of optical systems. At just 50 grams, it's the most travel-friendly option in the AOI snoot lineup.

SNT-01 vs. Optical Snoots (SNT-03 / SNT-04)

The SNT-01 is the lightweight, budget-friendly starting point. The optical snoots (SNT-03 and SNT-04) add lens elements for sharper beam edges and stepless aperture control — ideal if you want maximum precision.
