I live in Hawaii and purchased 4 AB800's but forgot to get the speedrings for them (GRRRRRR!). Shipping was insane from TN to HI... Is there any alternative speedring that I could purchase, from B&H perhaps.... I couldnt believe "Ground" was so expensive... I cant wait to see what happens when it hits West Coast.

I understand I should pay the shipping, to save any hassle. Just wondering if there are any other alternatives.

Thanks in advance,
Shan

I use the eBay speed ring, but have to modify it a bit by cutting portion of the ring off.

Hey thanks Lotto.... Is that loose part above the speed ring on top of the cardboard box the part you cut out?

yes, it needs 5/16" or 8mm lip to fit the AB, measure from inside.
