I bought a Pochade box to use travelling and to do watercolours. Which you need to attach a flat surface to support the paper. It’s good in theory but the bottom bar has very little gap / claw like to grasp the board. I found a 3 mm plastic coated sheet to fit. The top arm seems to have a wider grip. If you want to work small then this works fine. I will be using A3 size . A cross bar magnetitzed would help to stabilise the support. Otherwise it is a beautiful functional box. The pallet slides out with a magnetic side bar and the lid collapses down with another magnet which keeps it snugly closed.

A fantastic field easel for the minimalist. It fits in my backpack and is strong enough to hold even large watercolour blocks. Beautifully made and super practical. I even use it as my desk easel now when it’s not mounted onto a tripod

Love it! Totally worth the investment. It's light weight. Easy to use and clean. Looks elegant and is compact. This is my first pochade box and I feel like I made a great choice. I did so much research, and even tried to build my own. Save your self the time and energy. Just buy this one.
