The umbrella rod will go through a hole, and a bolt with a knob will screwed in to hold it. How big should the hole be (for the biggest standard umbrella rods)?

Jun 11, 2008 17:25 | #3 Yeah, just the max size matters. Thanks! I actually found a bracket like that ^ in my shed. It has two umbrella holes. The small one is 10mm and the big one is 16mm. Maybe i'll just go with 16mm. Dakine Sequence { 20D | Sigma 10-20 f/4| Tamron 17-35 f/2.8 | Tamron 55-200 f/4 | 3 Vivitar 285HVs | 3 Pocket Wizards }
