It only seems like yesterday when reported on the remote control umbrella that you could open and close via a flick of a switch. Well that remote controlled umbrella has been well and truly put in the shade by this one.

This Remote Controlled Market Umbrella not only opens and closes, you can also use the remote control to tilt it in any direction, so if you need that extra bit of shade tilt it right down and then move rotate it as the sun moves.

The patio umbrella is available from from Hammacher for $495.95 (ouch).

Thanks Dugg.com.au for the link.
