Review: Awesome precision tool - This needs a slight alteration. I added outer heavy silicone washers between the wood pieces and hinge in front, between the hinge and body. This corrects the slip of the lid when painting. Also superglued two steel (from a candy tin) plates on the outside and carved out space in the brush tray to hold two small magnets to attach to the plates. Now the brush tray doesn’t fall off when walking. For the box, I love it! For a Pochade of this size it is quite light. My French easel is 12lbs empty, a real lug with 5oz tubes. This one won’t hold as much but for painting small it is great. Like all Pochades, it is delicate. Don’t expect a tank for this sort of precision. It will need a sturdy heavy duty camera tripod, like my Leica,. A tall one helps with hills. This box has a nice finish, good hardware and a very clever arrangement. The puzzling extra pieces turned out to be adaptors to get the smallest panels (5x7 & 8x10) to fit I the slot underneath. This also needed alteration. They mentioned it would hold 6 under there. It does not look like there is room for 6, 9x12”s. But they will be dry. For wet panels, choose or make a wet carrying case. The 9x12 will not ride home ok on the easel without falling into the pallet. Don’t carry a wet painting inside. The 2” tall cubby ware fits in the interior lying sideways. I fill them with oils and load a full pallet. Great with 37mil tubes or smaller. Happy painting!
Review: I love it! - I do like this box. I purchased this box to use at home, primarily for its mobility. I can sit it on my lap, or the tripod. It’s well thought out in its design. Some complain because it doesn’t tighten well. Yes it takes some strength to tighten it so that your canvas stays in place. Once it’s tight it’s great. It’s lightweight for easy travel, yet well built for the artist who wants to have all your tools readily available at your fingertips. I do have a large easel, but it’s not mobile enough. This works great. The max height allowable is a 17” canvas board. Rightly so as it’s not designed for the heavy large canvases. It can hold quite a few 9x12 or less canvas birds in its stowaway compartment. Long handle brushes fit in it. I prefer glass pallets, so I purchased a 9x12 New Wave pallet, which fits on top of the wooden pull-out pallet. I plan on adhering the glass pallet to it for a more stable ride. It’s a well designed, good looking, versatile unit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you use a glass palette instead? what are the dimensions of the palette,? would it be possible to swap for a glass palette separately?**
A: The palette pulls out on the side, so I don't think it can be changed out.

**Q: While sitting, do you have to bend forward to reach your canvas?**
A: I usually stand while painting, but twice i used it while sitting, and it was great.  No need to bend forward the box is aprox 9" from the front edge to the canvas.  Enjoy painting.

**Q: Can the easel hold a wet panel when the pochade box is closed without it making contact with the paint on the palette?  Thanks so much.**
A: Yes, there is a compartment in the base of the unit that can hold a wet panel of a variety of sizes (different slotted inserts), I have measured it up and a standard size of 12 inch x 9 inch fits nicely

**Q: What kind of tripod do I need to buy that will go with this product?**
A: I purchased this easel as a gift and did not buy a tripod to go with it but I would suggest a tripod that is full sized so it can adjusted whether you are using while standing or sitting

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoughtfully engineered , excellent value.
*by K***O on July 31, 2021*

So the engineering. What you're getting here is the whole package , easel attachment / pochade box and canvas holder. I included a picture of a pile of wood I disrespected trying.to make one of these myself because "its only a box" , ha. My only two design critiques would be that Id rather have the tripod mount adjustable or center instead of back and I wish less wood blocked the pallet area (but its actually better in that regard than many others) The attaching brush panel? Flush with the box. Also attached magnetically into its cubby (you can see the tiny circular magnet on one photo I took) Wngineering wise the highlight has to be the pochade box that can adjust to accept so many sizes. The value? Just unbeatable. If you're looking to get into plein air , stop right now . You found it. I easily spent twice as much on parts just attempting to bud my own. Sturdiness I gave 3 stars because I can tell some kind of soft wood or artificial wood was just dolled up to look nice (not that they lie by the way) , of course weight is a huge factor so without doing aluminum trades have to be made. I do feel just holding and handling it that although they didnt build it or design it cheaply , if it were to drop or scrape against something it would get damaged. Its...6 pounds I think? Well within reason when you consider its a portable studio. I guess a final "wish list" critique for soho on how to improve might be to allow us to separate the supply storage and canvas storage area from the easel / palette holding area , maybe the next iteration could be aluminum in order to facilitate that? But yeh. I spent over a month looking at every pochade / easel box on the market , agonizing over mt choices and even trying to build one and.this sleak beauty was right under my.nose the whole time , check all the boxes.
