This idea came from John Stobart's, The Pleasures of Painting Outdoors. I have had this book for years and only just now got around to building this.
The table top easel sketch box cost between $26 and $49.
The Universal Tripod Mount kit from Amazon cost $24.99(
from Judson $29.99).
The tripod can be bought on Amazon (Amazon Basics Tripod) for $26.
Table easel sketch box mounted on tripod.
I added more holes for the panel/canvas support so I can adjust the height of the support.

Tripod mount attached to box. Lots of room for art supplies.
Universal Tripod Mount from www.Judsonart.com or Amazon.
Added a stand alone palette to the paint box I adapted for use on a tripod. This is a pochade box with French easel style storage, lighter than a French easel and easier to set up. Note palette knive held to side of box with a magnet. When done painting, everything is stored away, palette folds up, box closes and the painting is held in place by the panel holder.
