US Art Sketch tripod: my truth review

I continue the theme of drawing and the pieces necessary for the process. The purpose of purchasing an easel: to practice at home in drawing (this is a pencil) and painting (this is watercolor, oil, acrylic and probably something else that I don’t know about). Tripods are different, ideally, of course, a high wooden one is seen, but only a heavy construction is obtained for the money of 9 thousand, there are desktop wooden ones, which are much more budgetary, but the range of options for use is clear from the name. I settled on an aluminum tripod with adjustable legs. I read along with Vista-Artista the description of the popular Pinax, I did not find any fundamental differences, except for an additional thousand rubles hidden in the Pinax design. I turn to the description. The easel is packed in a durable case, very light and compact. You can throw it over your shoulder and calmly go to the open air. Open the zipper and see the easel and assembly instructions. You can collect without reading the text. When assembled, the tripod takes up little space, while the height varies from a table easel to a "full" 160 cm. The legs look like this below: The tips are either made of soft plastic or hard rubber, in any case, the parquet will not be scratched. The photo shows that there are two height adjusters on each leg, the legs can be extended both from below and from above. Now a little about the lightness of this design. For watercolor, the option is ideal, no need to hold or put in front of something firmly standing. And you can add weight using a tablet, say, 50 * 40, buy plywood, investing the saved thousand in the purchase. What I noticed from the bad things is that it scratches very easily, respectively, a silvery "cut" is formed in place of the black matte paint. Whether this fact will affect the performance characteristics, I do not know yet. And in general, very satisfied.
