Quick easy way to attach an umbrella to a stand

(1/6) > >>

super-phat-al:
I need one by saturday.  Anyone have any ideas about how to set one of these up with out spending a lot of money.  I really just need it for one day.  Or is should i just bring a clamp and clamp off someone with an umbrella.  Ideas?  Would duct tape work?

Brian Skalinder:
Are you kidding?  Use #1,252 = duct taping umbrellas to mic stands.  It'll definitely work.  I use a spare clamp with my umbrella, but have used duct tape before, too.  Already have the umbrella?

super-phat-al:
well i really dunno what kind of umbrella to use.  It needs to be fairly lite right?

Brian Skalinder:
Ahem.  Check the Archival Section:

Im gonna recomend this one: http://makeashorterlink.com/?O34012085 . Don't let the clamp fool you though, your gonna have to duct tape it to your stand, clamp is useless on a mic stand. I like it because its pretty small, so its not too annoying in the air. Hope it helps.
