I love to paint outside when the weather is nice. Today I am going to take a look at the Meeden Pochade box and Tripod set. The box on its own is around $110 and with the heavy-duty tripod it is under $200 but it will fit a standard tripod mount so if you already have one you can just get the box. This was sent to me for review. If you do place an order on the Meeden website you can save 10% with coupon code Lindsay10 You can see the box here: meeden.art/col...

Pros:
Price (compared to comparable boxes)
Lightweight (much lighter than a French Easel)
Lots of storage
Carries 2 wet canvases (8x10 and 9x12)
Beautiful craftsmanship
Has wings for a palette and brush holder so you can have it open and also access all of your paint
Sturdy (once you figure out how to tighten the tripod-bring a screwdriver just in case!)
Paper towel holder
Removable dividers in the storage section for maximum versatility
The tripod has a hook for a weight or trash bag
Bumpers on the bottom of the box allow you to use it on a table without removing the tripod "fast mount" or damaging the table.
Both the box and tripod come with carry bags with shoulder straps.
Takes canvasses on the easel up to 17" tall.
Cons:
Attaching the paintbox to this easel is a bit awkward and if you had strength or mobility issues it would be a bit cumbersome.
Bottom Line: I really like this pochade box. It gives me almost as much storage as my French Easel but it is much lighter and the "wings" give me more accessibility to my tools and supplies because the palette doesn't cover the drawer. this can be used with all mediums but I would recommend it for oils or acrylics especially because I can carry shown 2 wet paintings mess-free. Personally, I prefer a lighter set-up for watercolor and my French Easel is my go-to for Pastels. We are all different but luckily there are options for everyone. I hope you found this helpful!
