    Seems like you could also mod on of those cheap and cheesy umbrella hats for the same purpose.

    Looks cool if you are using a tripod. At $30.00 plus shipping, the golf umbrella sounds like a better deal.

    And in the wind, when it catches the air like a sail and takes your tripod over ?

    A big floppy hat can serve the same purpose' Or an assistant with a screen, umbrella, or even holding a piece of foamcore.

    I like Paul's comment or 'What are you going to do if a wind comes up suddenly?'.
