Instead of buying a new easel I decided to make one myself using a camera tripod that's been lying around useless at home.
Things used:
- Vanguard camera tripod
- Ceiling fan mounts (pictured below)
- A wood clamp
- Pliers or small spanner
- Scotch tape
I marked a height on the tripod and put scotch tape over the location to prevent scratches from the mounts.
I then screwed on the mounts making sure there was room on both sides to hold the canvas in place.
I placed the canvas on the tripod and used a clamp to secure it to the camera head on top. Done!
I'll post an update on how the rig performs later. One thing I can notice right away is the angle is too steep. The board is almost vertical.
