This professionally designed lightweight portable easel was developed for artists who like to carry their painting equipment where ever they travel. It is also very suitable for studio use.

The Valpod easel provides a simple, lightweight and compact method of using a camera tripod and Velcro for supporting painting boards, sketch pads, canvas, etc. up to 16" x 24". Different painting boards can be attached and detached quickly and easily and positioned anywhere from flat to vertical. The Valpod easily attaches to a camera tripod just like a camera and the paint board attaches to the Valpod with Velcro.

The Valpod easel consists of a SLIK camera tripod, a beautifully finished hardwood plywood Valpod painting board attachment using industrial grade Velcro, quarter (12" x 16") and half sheet (16" x 24") size painting boards, 12" x 20" lacquered hardwood plywood palette holder, two 16 ounce containers, and four detachable support hooks for holding canvas, watercolor blocks, etc. up to 3/4" thick. The tripods are available in two different models. The U8000 is advised where portability is not a priority.
