Watercolor easels
I like the sun-eden equipment because it is so light, and in general I only use watercolors when I am traveling light. This is a nice lightweight system for working plein air.

I use Stanrite products from time to time, and they seem to be fairly robust. I also use these plein air. They are a little heavier than the Sun-Eden products, but a little stronger.

The Mabef easels are heavier and better for use in the studio. You can use the outdoor easels above also in the studio if you only want to buy one easel.
