This is a field easel I have been working on. I attached the camera mount piece to the wood easel. It clips in and out of the tripod very easily. The idea was to make it as simple and light weight as possible, yet sturdy enough to handle a canvas that is 21″ high.
Everything folds up small enough to fit in a backpack or bike bag. Very cheap too. I could probably make all the components to attach to any tripod for $30.

That’s pretty cool, Gabe. When I was in France I went to an art museum that happened to have a lot of old stationary easels around, and it appears the basic design for easels of the other type you made haven’t changed in hundreds of years. I like this one, though, since you can use a tripod you might already be carrying!
