Can a tripod?

Im looking to do some outdoor shots but I want to use my flash gun but I also need an umbrella, Im not sure if im right or not but is there such a thing as something that can hold the umbrella via tripod? I hope I make sense :|:|

Yep, I do this but with a softbox. Same principle.

You can get a spigot that has a screw thread thatll take a tripod screw. When attached, it'll sit proud if the tripod heading allowing an umbrella tilt head or softbox speedring to be attached.

There was a thread on here about it a while ago with some links - will try to find it
