Nubrella is an innovative new umbrella that could come in handy for photographers shooting in the rain. It’s a hands-free, wind-resistant design that can keep you and your camera dry while you’re snapping away.
After putting on the 3-pound Nubrella like a backpack, the canopy flips over your head and locks in place. Built using waterproof nylon, aluminum rods, and glass-filled plastic, the canopy is designed to withstand 40mph winds without flipping inside out.
As a much of a gadget geek as anyone but this is utterly ridiculous. It may not flip inside out until 41mph but, among other things, you just put a sail over your head, jerking you around like a rag doll. Not conducive to steady shooting.
Seems like a lot of gear for little coverage. I keeps you mobile though. I’m curious to know what a photographer does if he or she wants to shoot in the rain.
As we motorcyclists often say, “Gets wet…” 🙂
You either shoot from cover or from under an umbrella or use some sort of cover for your camera. There are specialized housings or even a plastic bag. For me, I’ve got a weather “proof” camera that lets me shoot in most conditions I’m liable to go out in.
I keep expecting it to be made out of chocolate, hazelnuts and palm oil. Just me? Just me. Fine.
That wouldn’t hold up very well in the rain now, would it? 🙂
Definitely not just you.
I’ve got a kid and I’ve tried to watch Nutella off… well, hundreds of things. It’s way less water soluble than you’d guess!
LOL OMG I KNOW! The stuff could hold buildings together!

Looks disturbingly like the collapsible Horus helmets from Stargate
This is slightly better than holding an umbrella in the rain. With an umbrella, you’re trying to hold it still while it’s getting blown around, and then trying to get your shot. With this, I think you’re camera will still get wet. I don’t know if I shoot enough in the rain to get something like this, or even “weather proof” gear, but it would be nice to have both hands on the camera.
