U.GO PLEIN AIR | ANYWHERE POCHADE BOX (6"X8")
u.go™ Anywhere™ Pochade Box was designed for travel from sea to summit and anywhere in between. The products are designed and manufactured by New Wave® in Pennsylvania, USA. Each tree's inherent beauty, shown in the grain lines, knots, and varying wood tones, combines with our work handcrafting each pochade box to create an item that is uniquely yours. Patent Pending.
Size/Weight: Measuring 6"x8"x1.25," the smallest model (item #00703) is ultra lightweight at 1.35 lbs, with palette included.
Materials: The product is made using Baltic Birch wood, while stainless steel and aluminum accents provide strength where needed most. All hardware is non-corrosive.
Wood Finish: The Baltic Birch is hand sanded, and finished with New Wave® proprietary wood finish for maximum durability. The finish is non-porous, dense, and resistant to water as well as standard artist solvents and mediums. In addition, the finish is crack proof, chip proof, and non-yellowing.
Magnetic Components: Strong rare earth magnets are used for the closure, panel/canvas holder, removable side wall for palette cleaning/replacement, and accessory side tray attachment.
Friction Hinges: Sturdy 180° range of motion to position the pochade box as vertical or horizontal as you would like. Horizontal set up is perfect for watercolor painting.
Tripod Mount: Anywhere™ Pochade Boxes are compatible with universal 1/4" tripod mounts.

This was the first thing I ordered from Senior Art and so far I'm loving it for plein air watercolour painting. It is compact and light-weight while also feeling very sturdy. I like the size of the palette surface and the side trays are great. They come with a thick elastic band, which is perfect for hanging a collapsable water pot from with a carabiner and for holding down your palette, brushes, cloths or paper towels. I do find my watercolours tend to bead on the acrylic surface of the palette, and possibly there's something I could be doing there to help that to happen less. If I were to repurchase, I'd consider buying one of the larger sizes and I might invest in the glass palette (although that would probably add to the weight). I absolutely have to complement the staff at Senior Art for their amazing customer service. One part of my order initially did not arrive and they were straight on it and had that part to me by express post the next day. Their responsiveness and care a

Very pleased with this product, it’s design provides a strong, compact support for painting outdoors. The use of rare earth magnets and friction hinges removes the need for brackets that affect space in the unit or are bulky outside the unit.
