Once you've set up your tripod, this goes up top, above the camera, so that the storm doesn't drench your $1,000 device. In a downpour, setting up and adjusting the umbrella to protect your camera may prove a tricky task. And how often are you desperate to set up a tripod photo when it's raining hard enough to require an umbrella? It'll only cost $25 to find...

Appropriately titled Tensio-Latin for tension-is Brook Andrew's mirrored image of a currawong poised as if to attack a coiled snake.
