Anyone seen an umbrella like the ones in the pic?
Thanks

Not quite as mini, but I have a rather small one with a clamp at the bottom end. They're meant to be attached to prams. Had to impregnate mine with some spray-on product because they're originally meant as sun screens but it works fine at protecting various mics (and cameras) even in heavy rain. Admittedly, I won't take my 'real' mics into the Belgian rain forest but so far no damage to anything.

It doesn't say but if you contact the seller he might tell you. There is a lot under toy umbrella on ebay.

They're a little pricey. I'd prefer the ones in original pic up top. Where was the picture originally posted? Grace's rig?

Yes, I think that's his rig from Phish Red Rocks '09. There are pics somewhere on TS.

^ Thanks. Shot `em an email. I'm guessing it was a custom deal.

It is kinda hard to tell how wide it is from those pictures it looks 6.5" long.

I found that pic of the striped umbrellas on line by accident.

Now how about a clamp for it?

This clamp looks like it might work

perfect. thanks
I use sabra som shock mounts and I am think about taking an extra set of rings and drilling a small hole in the top to insert the umbrellas into. I like the blue and white umbrellas.

Now if I can just find an umbrella for less than $30
Thanks everyone for your help.
