The most advanced portable aluminum easel ever made. This professional artist easel is a fully functional photographic tripod too. With two center top sections: one with a camera ball head and one with a canvas holder. This allows artists to go into the field and capture their surroundings as they paint or sketch outdoors. Weighing just 3.5lbs it the perfect answer for travel and fold down small enough to be an excellent table easel too. This is also the first aluminum field easel that allows you to hold gallery style canvases. No easel in the world has it features and as with all Creative Mark products it is reasonably priced to fit within anybody's budget.
