tripod umbrella holder/clamp ?

Anyone know where to get a tripod umbrella holder/clamp?

Amazon has quite a few, and I'm sure B&H does also. On amazon I searched for "umbrella adapter". Everything from Adorama to Manfrotto.

Just watch out for the mounting method, and make sure you are getting all the parts you need. It is a 'mildly frustrating' feeling when you unbox parts you waited a week for, and then realize that some are 1/4-20 standard threads, and others are 3/8th threading, and you didn't think to include that $3 adaptor in the order so you could use them or to have made a different choice on items.

The OP didn't actually say whether he was talking a lighting umbrella or a rain umbrella either. The latter might require a somewhat different clamp/fitting. I know Manfrotto has a wild assortment of "Super Clamps" and miscellaneous fittings that can be used with the clamps and combined to do all sorts of things. (I occasionally refer to such items as 'adult Tinker-Toys" but they are certainly not priced like toys!)

I got one of these since another shooter recommended it. I've mounted it on my tripod but have yet to use it in the field. The main shaft articulates as well which helps if you have a big camera like an 8x10.
