Habitat "Fred" Beauty Dish

Habitat \"Fred\" Beauty Dish
Beauty Dishes turn your 6cm flash head in to a large enveloping creamy disks of light.  This instructable uses a 40cm diameter "Fred" light shade from Habitat (Model \ SKU 080446) that I found in a charity shop.

The flash stand that came with my Cactus II radio flash trigger is perfect for attaching the beauty dish to a tripod or light stand.

Drill a hole through the stand and bolt in to place through one of the holes in the base of the lightshade.

I happened to find a hollow black plastic tube that acts as a spacer, but it's not totally necessary.
