I was just looking around for a small umbrella for my stand and came across this one. Looks like it will do the trick and I can always modify the clamp if it wont bend

anyone else think this looks good or have any other suggestions?

true thats all I could dig up though, I just think that it might be too big (at least his looks like a full sized one). The reason I say that is because when its windy your stand is dancing which ever way its blowing so im thinking i might end up taping a small umbrella to my stand being that im not about to throw down 100 for the clamps to make it all pretty.

i got this one at toys r us. got it because it was smaller and flat, so not so potentially phasey(sp) above the mics. or that muck of a potential sail.

mine is not full sized, it is about 3.5ft maybe across

I like the red one because its nice and small, and isn't too big in the sky. But, you really cant use the clamp to get it on the stand, you need to duct tape it...

oh it just looked that way in the picture, can you get it online?
as for the red one, I think you could probably modify it by bending it or chopping the bottom part off then using the clamp further up to hold it, maybe
