Good lightweight option

I have a couple of these Plein Air Pro rigs (but not the one pictured), for watercolor and oil, and in fact use just the piece on which you set a canvas on a Slik tripod in the studio, with paints set on a table next to it. It’s easier for me to use for most of the sizes I paint than my big studio easel. I also use it for plein air IF THERE IS NO WIND– would not be suitable at all in windy conditions. It’s lighter than anything else I can find, which is a very big consideration for me. It’s also nice to just set your panel on the shelf and paint away, without a lot of set up, but you have to have ideal conditions. It’s probably better for watercolor than for oil, but I can make it work for oil outdoors.
