Ive heard both ways, i think on top would be best, like a car reflector. And i know of no umbrellas that do that but you can find great deals at mall retailers that cost under 10 and weigh 5oz. Not bad value.

EuroSchirm sells one :-)
A traditional umbrella needs an integrated shaft to be able to open and close so I don't think there's any way around that.
But, my trekking pole has a 1/4" thread on the handle for mounting a camera so if you had an umbrella with a tripod base in its handle this may be one solution.
I was Imagining at the tip of hiking pole insert it to the center of the umbrella,(most umbrellas look very similar at the tip) and the part that normally slides up to lock in place, connect to the shaft section by sliding between the two inserts. Been thinking on this for about a month but don't want to make something if its been done. I may have to butcher and modify someone's current product to get a prototype.

Has anyone looked at umbrellas designed to attach to a tree for hunting? The pole is completely different then normal and off set. I can see this being attached to a hiking pole or even somehow to your pack to become hands free.
An umbrella that attaches to a tree? I didn't know there was such. How much does it weigh? And who has them?

Yep. Been around for several decades within the hunting world. Just do a search for "tree stand umbrella". Lots of choices.
I know it's not the lightest gear, and it's a lot of stuff, but I use a canoe, so it's a lot like car camping, but without the other cars.
There's a hole in the umbrella, Dear SoaknWet, Dear Soaknwet.... I could see it working if that one side wasn't cut out for the tree. Plus they seem pretty heavy. One I looked at was 2.5lbs! which could be easily revamped.
