Paint plein air easier than ever with the smallest, lightest fully featured plein-air box easel in the world. Breaks apart into two pieces for maximum packability and portability and comes together instantly so you never miss a moment.

Great for watercolorists!

Just like the original Soltek, the Soltek Compact’s legs and painting arm friction-lock wherever you want them. Unlike the original, the Soltek Compact leg releases are located at the top of the easel so adjustments are easier than ever. Bringing the legs to storage position now automatically unlocks them so you can retract them simultaneously.
