Description of MEEDEN Ultimate Aluminum Lightweight Design,Make

PAINT ANYWHERE YOU LIKE - This all in one pochade box was designed for travel from sea to summit and anywhere in between. With a sturdy standing tripod, it can be used as Plein air like a french easel. With the rubber bumpers on the bottom, it can be used as a small table easel for studio use as well. Its versatility enables you to paint anywhere you like. PERFECT FOR OUTDOOR PAINTING - This Pochade box features three large storage compartments with removable dividers. They provide plenty of room for sufficient supplies. And it is not cumbersome and heavy like a French easel. So you can keep your things organized and travel light, enjoy the breeze and have fun painting. TRANSPORT YOUR WET PAINTINGS WITH EASE - The bottom contains an adjustable wet panel storage area that allows you to carry carring 3-4PCS wet panels of any size from 8" x 10" to 9" x 12" during travel. This Pochade leaves you with no need for a wet panel carrier as the panels can be stored conveniently and securely behind a sliding magnetic door. INFINITE RANGE OF ANGLES - Thanks to the hinged adjustment arm the lid can be held at any painting angle, and would even go completely flat for watercolor painting. The star knobs on the arm make the adjustments super easy. ATTACH YOUR POCHADE BOX FASTER AND EASIER - Aluminum Tripod is specially designed for Plein air painting. The snap-in quick-release plate makes taking pochade box on and off tripod a breeze. The head of the tripod is made of metal which is very sturdy, it can hold your pochade box in a rock solid foundation, no slipping or wobbling.

Two components for one price

Getting a tripod and bag for such a low price is not easy, but there are a few small adjustments that need to be made. There are questionable hardware in the box, it needs to be replaced, my latch is bent, the metal is very thin. The box itself is good, I removed some of the extras due to the weight and I think as a desktop box it will work fine. The tripod is nice but very unstable. The tripod plate isn't very well made, making it almost impossible not to shake it. I haven't used this setup…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Tripod broke after less than 6 uses

Tripod broke on one of the tripod legs in less than 6 uses and 1 month and 1 year from date of purchase. During the year, Revain did not issue a refund for the product and offered to contact MEEDEN. After clarifying the situation with MEEDEN they offered to replace the leg but then after 4 exchanges of letters back and forth with photos, a check etc they said they wouldn't replace it again because. a year and a month passed. I had a French easel that lasted 30 years, but the MEEDEN easel didn't

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • So far so good

I love the size and compartments though.

I bought the complete kit, bag and tripod. I really like the tripod, it has a level indicator and a small compass that helps with setting it up. The legs are stretched out and I have yet to fully stretch because I don't need them much higher than my waist. The downside of a tripod is that for the size of the Poshade box, the legs aren't flattened enough at the top to make the unit stable. The weight and size of the box on the tripod make the whole unit very heavy and while it works well on…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
