  • Many modern easels attach to camera tripods using a quick release plate. You can make a much secure mount if you buy an additional plate and screw it semi-permanently into the base of your easel.

    Thank you so much Mr. Gurney, this is the one I need now. I love painting, and I wanna try plein air, but the preparation was always an issue to me.

    The quick release plate I had for my camera (I do a lot of recording while I paint, mostly for personal reflection) had a video pin which scratched the base of my camera. I have a wooden easel I got, mostly because standing up stops me from getting so much back-pain. I'm a programmer by trade, you see, so there is only so much sitting at a desk I can take in a day.

    Nice little tutorial. I'm an artist myself and I hope to be as good as you one day.

    James if youdrilll through any thing remove drrill bit from the drill take a slightly larger drill bit and gently nround the edges off of the hole you have just drilled MIT's called counter inking this will allow the crewheadto bed into the fitting so it becomes more flush with the nsurface. Hope this helps kindest regards Mick T

    I had a quick release plate with its original screw/tightener fallen off. So i just use a long bolt with a wing nut at the end through the pre-made hole. Just thought this might be a good tip for people who dont got the tools :P

    Well....now that I spent hours planning, finding, buying and installing what I thought was an easy thing....the stinking T nut I’ve destroyed one box, created a mess and wasted precious hours of my life I can’t get back.
    Drill four holes and screw the dang thing down....duh I’m done for the night, thank you, I’ll finish in the morning.

      Sorry you had a tough time with that. If you don't need the flush mount, a top mount like that works perfectly fine.
