ParaSnap Adapter for Profoto A2

The Glow PS-OTA-A2 ParaSnap Adapter is a dedicated accessory built exclusively for the Profoto A2 Monolight. It enables photographers to mount compatible softboxes onto the flash head using a magnetic ring mechanism. This tool is designed for professionals seeking a faster workflow when attaching light modifiers on location or in the studio.

Sustained session reliability

The adapter is constructed from high-quality plastic chosen to withstand frequent handling in professional environments. Its magnetic ring maintains a firm, wobble-free hold on the A2's circular head throughout extended shoots. The secure connection prevents accidental detachment while the unit is oriented at various angles during active use.

Magnetic mount constraint

The interface relies on a ring of strong magnets that mate only with the specific circular head of the Profoto A2 Monolight. This proprietary fit means the adapter cannot be used with other flash systems or older Profoto heads lacking the matching magnetic profile. Photographers needing a universal mount for mixed lighting kits will find this adapter incompatible.

Questions about this item

Does the Glow PS-OTA-A2 ParaSnap Adapter generate any heat or noise when the Profoto A2 runs continuously all day?

The adapter is a passive plastic mount with no electronics, so it adds no heat or noise during extended use.

What existing equipment must I already own for this adapter to function?

You need a Profoto A2 Monolight and a ParaSnap-compatible softbox; the adapter connects the two.

Will the magnetic ring on this adapter hold securely if I pair it with a larger legacy softbox I already own?

The adapter only accepts ParaSnap softboxes; it will not mount older Profoto or third-party modifiers.
