Hey guys,

are there any beauty dishes that can be used with either Speedlites or Elinchrom DLite heads?

Looking for the 22" range

thanks,

I've got a 22 Kacey with a Chimera mount for my Elinchrom heads. I made a speedlight bracket that works with my the same modifiers for my 430EXII. The bracket cost me about $20.

How do you like it so far? Did you also get the sock or grid?

Dave (Tetrode) is selling speedo BD for Elinchrom. I would look at kacey if you want one for elinchrom and hot shoe flashes.

+1 I just made one for speedlight use and it's great! Mine was about $30 though.

Kacey Dish + Grid + Sock + Chimera eli mount attached + Kacey location bag + Kacey double bracket + Kacey/eli adapter.

Gets expensive, but that's the most elegant way to do both. If you want a different dish, the Kacey bracket is still one to look at. Ralph's (windpig) $20 bracket would save you a lot of coin.

I found the bowl at the dollar store and already had some of the items I needed to make it hence the lower price. The most expensive thing for me was the spray paint.
