Hi Chuck,
It's a good idea but I paid a lot to send everything from Spain to USA
because I also have lots of accessories, la barndoors, snoots, umbrellas,
light banks, etc... So probably I'll buy a cheap adapter and as soon as I
can I'll but another kit if the business picks up :)

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
