This patent application is for a camera-mounted umbrella designed to protect a photographic or video camera against unfavorable weather conditions. The invention consists of three primary components-a small, foldable umbrella head; a short umbrella shaft; and a camera attachment bracket. The umbrella shaft again consists of two components-a rigid component to which the umbrella head is attached and a flexible component to which the camera attachment bracket is fixed. The camera attachment bracket is a hot shoe bracket, enabling the umbrella to be mounted onto the camera body via the camera's hot shoe. Thus, the user of the invention is able to protect his/her camera and lens against rain and/or excessive sunlight while retaining full operational control over the equipment.
