I just want to know if I can adapt/instal a beauty dish? Do I need xtra assembly kit to do it??

It takes a standard Photogenic beauty dish (and also standard Photogenic softboxes). Since I also have Alien Bees - I specifically bought a Beauty Dish with interchangable rings - so I had one for each type of connection.

You get everything you need. The dish, the base, element arm with elements. Dish must be attached to the mechanism with supplied screws. You also get the control box, power brick and plug-in, connecting wires, and I think perhaps even one co-axial cable (but its been a year, not sure about that). At first I assembled the whole thing, mounted it to a pallet, and connected via cable to my RV. You only need the control box hooked to power while it aims itself at the satellites. Once aimed, you can shut the power off. Ran it on the ground, that way for a month before mounting it on the roof of my RV. Very, very satisfied over the last year! You get everything you need.

Actually, you should be able to, according to these directions: http://www.brica.com/wp-content/themes/brica/download/manuals/63009_Instructions.pdf. This is for a slightly different Brica product, but the attachment straps look identical on this one. Full disclosure, I don't own this mirror, so don't have any first-hand experience installing it.

Yes. The complete instructions were included in my package. IF you don't get them, you can always to to dish online for the free instructions. The package instructions and online instructions were the same for me. Good luck.

HelloAll of my light stands are garden variety with standard size spigots on top of them. The small 1/4-20 threaded portion that protrudes above the top edge of the spigot is generally useless for my purposes. I just unscrew the wing nut on the beauty dish far enough to allow the beauty dish mount to slide down securely over the base of the spigot and then I tighten the wing nut. I would send you a photo of what I just described but don't see an option to add an attachment here.

I believe you would need another decorative plate between the ceiling and this conversion kit in order to make this work for you. Short answer is "no, not by just the kit itself".

No, I attempted this. My old dish mount only has about 2" of vertical on the j-shaped tube and it is about 2" outside diameter. I could rest the new antenna mast in the tube but it is loose, and with only 2" vertical to mount to, I'm going to remove the satelite dish mount and install a couple of regular mast mounts to the board.

We don't have dish. But it broke pretty soon after we bought it. Good luck!

Sorry, this is not a beauty dish, this is a quick setup foldable octagonal soft box, the interior surface is silver with an internal white diffuser, then covered with a diffusion panel

You can, but that back panel is what the mirror attaches to. So, if your mirror does not match the lining of the holes on the panel to screw and support your mirror, you will have to drill new holes.

I've never built it in that configuration but I've seen it done that way by other modelers so my answer is yes. Just by looking at my kit I dont see why not, I even think it's easier that way :)

No, the small cables that the crystals attach to are pre-assembled. There is no way to adjust them. �

Don't think it can be done. I ordered two sets of dishes and both sets arrived with a chipped piece. Even brand new, the only alternative was a credit for the broken piece or return the entire set and reorder. Good luck.

Not at all - everything was pretty precise and fit together perfectly. Follow directions step-by-step and you'll have it done in no time! I am very happy with this - will buy another one. Have fun! :-)

It can be done but not with the current brackets that come in the kit. Modifying the brackets might work also.

They may make a generic one at a hardware store but it does not come with the kit...a word advice be sure to know what model you are ordering and how it will be mounted...on a freestanding tub ...on the wall above the tub..etc..we ordered the wrong opening size for the predrilled holes in our claw foot tub and got stuck with a $47 restocking fee even though we bought the correct one from the same vendor.
