Lighting Tool for Profoto A2

The Glow Edge ParaSnap Octagonal Softbox measures 20 inches across and is built specifically for the Profoto A2 monolight. It ships with a dedicated magnetic adapter that locks the softbox directly to the light body without the pistol grip. This integration lets you keep the monolight’s own handle free for positioning.

Portable Build with Magnetic Mount

The softbox folds to a compact 17.3 by 5.1 inch package and weighs only 0.93 lb, so it fits easily in a location bag. A click-locking frame expands the octagonal shape in a single motion, cutting setup time compared to traditional rod-and-ring designs. High-quality fabric and a SterlingFibre silver lining are designed to withstand frequent field use.

Limits of the 20-Inch Format

At 20 inches the modifier produces a soft wrap suited to headshots, small product work and detail shots, but it cannot deliver the broad, feathered fall-off of larger sources for full-length portraits or groups. The magnetic adapter is exclusive to the Profoto A2, so the softbox cannot be mounted on other strobes or continuous lights without a separate speed ring.
