Lightweight Versatile Easel Design With Many Features! Stable, ultra-lightweight, and compact, the Valerri Easel is made for plein-air painting and travel. The easel weighs only 2.82 lbs and comes with a nylon carrying case with shoulder strap. It will hold any reasonable width panel, canvas, or pad up to 28.7" high. Unlike other portable easels, Valerri features a crank for canvas height adjustment and locking mechanism designed to precisely adjust the easel depending on the size of your substrate. The top canvas holder adjusts to provide a firm hold for a variety of substrate depths. Easel legs have rubber swivel feet that adapt to uneven terrain, and a bubble level on the base helps you monitor the stability of your easel. The telescoping leg locks adjust with a simple click, letting you shift quickly between floor and tabletop configurations. You can add additional stability to the easel by hanging a stone bag or weight to the bottom hanging hook at the base of the easel. The integrated handle allows you to move the easel in the middle of a painting session, to adjust for sunlight, or to ensure the best vantage point. Made of aluminum with high impact plastic parts, this easel is a must for artists who want to venture outdoors or who have minimal space in their home to paint!
