28-inch Octagonal Softbox for Profoto A2

The Glow Edge ParaSnap PS-B28K is a 28-inch octagonal softbox designed specifically for the Profoto A2 Monolight. It uses a proprietary SterlingFibre Silver Lining to produce soft, even illumination suited to portrait, fashion and creative photography. The octagonal shape gives broad coverage while remaining manageable for both studio and on-location work.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Photographers who own a Profoto A2 and want rapid, tool-free setup will benefit from the ParaSnap mechanism and included magnetic adapter. Buyers using other monolight systems or who need a larger light source for group shots should consider different modifiers.

What the bundled adapter changes

The supplied Glow PS-OTA-A2 Adapter allows the softbox to mount directly to the A2 body magnetically, removing the need for the pistol-grip handle. This lets you use the monolight's own handle and ensures a precise, secure fit during fast-paced shoots.

Questions about this item

Which monolight must I already own for the PS-OTA-A2 adapter to mount this softbox?

The adapter is made for the Profoto A2 Monolight and attaches magnetically to its body.

Will the magnetic adapter block the pistol-grip handle on my Profoto A2?

The adapter eliminates the need for the pistol-grip handle so you can use the handle that comes with the monolight.

How do I know the ParaSnap frame has locked into place after the single-motion setup?

The frame expands and locks automatically in one motion; a firm, rigid octagon with no loose joints confirms it is ready.
