Newell P2B1 Profoto / Bowens Mounting Adapter

Newell P2B1 Profoto / Bowens Mounting Adapter | Bridge two mounting standards

When your setup uses different mounting standards, swapping compatible equipment can become a job of changing parts rather than getting on with the setup. The Newell P2B1 is a mounting adapter named for Profoto and Bowens mounts, intended to bridge that difference. It suits photographers and lighting users who already work with equipment using those standards and need an adapter in their setup. Its best use is a mounting mismatch: a practical link between Profoto- and Bowens-related hardware, rather than an accessory that changes how your light performs. As a tripod accessory, it belongs among the small pieces that help make a wider rig work together. If your equipment uses the mount types named here, this is the relevant adapter to consider; the product name alone doesn't establish which side of a particular item it accepts, so match the adapter to the specific connection you need.

A focused mounting solution

The P2B1 has a specific role: bringing the named mount standards into the same setup. That makes it relevant when planning a rig around existing Profoto and Bowens equipment, where the connection itself is the problem to solve. It’s a focused accessory, not a light source or a lighting control. Keep the decision simple: identify the two mounting sides in your intended connection, then establish that the P2B1 suits that arrangement before building the rest of the setup around it.
