Glow Edge Profoto to Bowens Mount Converter

SKU CH-VV2S-V4E6M

Adapts Profoto B1, B2, D1 and D2 lights to Bowens mount modifiers with steel, rubber and aluminium construction

  • Adapts Profoto B1, B2, D1, D2 to Bowens mount modifiers
  • Quick three-tap channel lock with spring-bolt release
  • Steel, rubber and aluminium construction for heavy studio use
  • Secure fit minimises light leaks and keeps modifier distance
  • Opens access to wide range of Bowens S-Type accessories

Profoto-to-Bowens adapter

The Glow Edge converter attaches to Profoto B1, B2, D1 and D2 strobes and accepts any Bowens S-type modifier. It is built from steel, rubber and aluminium with a spring-bolt locking ring that secures the accessory with a short clockwise turn. The design keeps the bulb-to-modifier distance virtually unchanged so light output and pattern stay consistent. Photographers who already own Profoto heads can expand their shaping options without buying a new system.

Photographers using Profoto strobes who want

This adapter suits owners of Profoto B1, B2, D1 or D2 lights who need softboxes, beauty dishes, grids or other S-type tools from Glow or other brands. It does not fit non-Profoto mounts, nor does it convert Bowens lights to Profoto modifiers. Buyers without Profoto strobes, or those needing a Profoto-to-Elinchrom or Profoto-to-Broncolor solution, will not be able to use this converter.

Spring-bolt lock and zero-offset design

The spring-bolt mechanism lets you retract the bolt to release a modifier quickly, speeding up changes on set. Because the adapter adds virtually no extra spacing, the light path remains the same as a native Profoto mount, preserving fall-off and hotspot characteristics. No additional tools, shims or firmware are required; the converter is a purely mechanical part that works immediately on compatible heads.

Questions about this item

Do I need to own a Profoto B1, B2, D1 or D2 strobe to use this converter?

Yes, this adapter is designed specifically for Profoto B1, B2, D1 and D2 lights. It slides into their three-tap channel and locks with a clockwise turn to accept Bowens S-type modifiers.

Will my existing Bowens S-type softboxes and reflectors fit securely on this adapter?

The converter accepts standard Bowens S-type accessories via a spring-bolt mechanism. You retract the bolt to attach or release a modifier, and the design maintains the original bulb-to-modifier distance.

How can I verify the converter is mounted correctly before adding a heavy modifier?

Insert the adapter into the Profoto head until it seats fully, then rotate clockwise until it locks. The spring bolt should engage automatically; give the converter a firm tug to confirm it will not detach.
