This is what is typically great about a Metal Travel Field Easel:

• Portability & Lightweight: These easels support plein air (outdoor) painting and are lightweight and easy to carry. Comes with a carry bag for convenience.
• Compact Storage: They feature telescopic, foldable tripod legs that collapse down to a very small size. This makes them easy to pack for travel or store in limited space.
• Stability on Uneven Ground: The tripod design provides a stable, secure base, even on uneven outdoor terrain.
• Adjustability: They offer versatile height and angle adjustments, often allowing for both standing or sitting positions. Tilt from vertical to horizontal for watercolour or oil painting.
• Versatile Canvas Size: They can typically hold a wide range of canvases, with some models supporting canvases up to 90cm–120cm in height.
• Durable Materials: Made from aluminium or high-grade metal, they are designed to be sturdy and durable for frequent use and travel.

A great portable and affordable solution for artists who want to paint on location without carrying heavy equipment.

Step-by-Step Setup

• Unpack and Unfold: Remove the easel from its carrying bag and undo any Velcro straps or clasps holding the legs.
• Adjust Legs: Extend the telescoping legs to your desired height and lock them in place using the quick-release clips. Make sure all legs are of equal length for stability.
• Widen the Base: Pull the legs outward to create a sturdy triangular base.
• Set Up the Canvas Support: Raise the main body of the easel and adjust the canvas holder (or “tray”) to the desired working height.
• Secure the Artwork: Place your canvas or board on the lower holder, then bring down the top spring-loaded clamp to secure it.
• Adjust Angle: Adjust the centre mast or back leg to set the tilt of your canvas.

Key Features & Tips for Use:

• Stability Hacks: When painting outdoors in wind, hang a bag of rocks or sand from the central hook for stability.
• Versatility: Use standing (legs fully extended) or sitting (shortened legs).
• Storage: Designed to fold down into compact, lightweight packages.
• Maintenance: When finished Painting wipe down with a damp cloth; if it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to protect the hardware.
