Title: Clamp for umbrella recommendations?
Post by: lsd2525 on April 23, 2019, 12:40:14 PM

Anyone recommend a good (preferably cheap) clamp to secure a small umbrella to a mic stand? I'm done with gaff taping. Thanks in advance.

Apologies- to use the windtech C with an umbrella the umbrella needs to be fitted with an adapter. That's what TEd's gakbrellas are, he takes standard umbrellas and fits a female adapter to match the male mount of the windtech.

I just saw this chair umbrella in Walmart today, seems like it would work pretty well.

I used to use that or something very similar.  It's way bigger than the gakbrella not in a good way ;)

+1 on gakbrella. $27 bucks well spent.
