Need a beauty dish for my AB

[PhotoWiz]

So I need to get a beauty dish for my alien bee in 5 days. I don't want to pay the expedited shipping however. Any ideas on where I can get a dish locally? Does Camera exchange carry a model? I don't want to make one....but I might just have to.

Probably have to pay the shipping cost. Camera Exchange has Elinchrom BDs, but you will still need an AB speedring.

Thanks PhotoEA. I think you just solved my problem.

No local pickup. No guarantee it would get here.

For what it's worth, I ordered from him several times and he's always shipped the next day and I received it the day after that.

Yea, I placed the order. Thanks for the heads up. Do you recommend most of the products he carries? I looked around his store and a lot of things are priced very well.

I have a few soft boxes, a barn door and gel set, and just received a 16" beauty dish for my speedlight with a diffuser, 2 grids and a set of barn doors. The quality of the items seems to be pretty good, especially for the price.

Good deal. UPS shows my dish showing up tomorrow. Thats some great fast/free shipping. Thanks again.

I got lucky and found a plastic flower pot at Big Lots, cut a hole in the bottom the same size as the light end of my strobes, used a convex mirror from Wal Mart and a door stop thingy and made my own BD. Took maybe an hour and works.
