Where to get replacement rods for Jinbei softbox?

[antacid]

Hi guys, need some help here. I have a Jinbei 120x80 softbox without any of the flex rods. Any idea where I can get a new set?

Or any DIY methods? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

oh, just to add, i've already checked with studiooutfitters, but no luck. google also didn't turn up any results..

My softbox using those flex rods similar to those tent rods you can grab at winnings shop/carrefour. If you want to DIY, maybe can try.

I don't know if the jinbei's one is the same or if the rods will fit the speedring, but you can try asking those shops on the tents or just buy a cheap 2 men tent from giant/carrefour and use those rods? Shouldn't cost more than 20 bucks with the tent but length may require some cutting.

thanks, will use that option as a last resort. one problem is that i'm not sure what the correct length is of the rod should be. too long and it might tear the box, too short and it won't work.

sigh.
