- I've had much better luck with Helix (mail-order out of Chicago). Their prices
- were better than anything that I could find locally and their selection was
- much better. I recently had the pleasure of replacing an SB-103 strobe head.
- All of the local retailers wanted to sell me the full kit. (Head, brackets,
- cables, etc.) Helix was able to get me the strobe head for about half the
- price of the full kit. They will also do things like ship FedEx for those
- little emergencies that seem to crop up right before a big trip.
-
- All in all, they've always been extremely helpful.
