I am used to painting on a stable table easel (oil painting), and worry that this box will "wobble" on a tripod -- also is one adjustment arm stable?

Actually I am surprised how stable it is. I have painted on the sand , in the wind and had very few issues. It does depend also on the tripod you use. Make sure the legs are not the thin flexible type on cheap tripods. The one adjustable arm is very secure . Instability would come from the tripod. In pli ear you should thin your first layers or put lots of paint on the brush. Aggressive stumbling will make the Easley more unstable. Tom Andrich

If you put it as part of the original pen set the geometry makes it difficult to move ( my son sic till he was one and a half). If you wall mount it you won't have any issues. If you are using the 2 panels by themselves heavy or not, they'll hardly be stable.

I did a lot of research about wobble in sliders...and found that most hinged legs cause most wobbles. This slider is very stable. The gel cushioning in the plate really help to eliminate shakes and wobbles. I use a 15 mm rail on my plate and turn them around so I can use the rails to grab ahold of to slide. I understand a handle tripod mount would work just as well. But the double Mount I use with the 15mm rail has more play in in than just the basic slider plate. The small leg mounts are nice and quick and not bulky. I recommend this slider to professional and starting out. Be careful locking down the tightener when moving the slider with the end lock plate removed. Your camera will slip right off.

It must not be assemble correctly of you have a defected table. Mine never wobbles. The pole goes all the way in.

None I can think of aside from making sure the tripod screw is near center. There is some room for lateral adjustment but if it were too far to one edge, it may not work.

I have not had it wobble. It is fairly stable. I rarely extent it all the way up. It would depend on the weight and lens size.

Not very stable. It's very light. But it has a hook where you can hang something heavy to stabilize the tripod.

I'm using the tripod - and have some reasonably heavy equipment on it ( digial camera + telephoto lens ) and i took some long exposures that were fine. Clearly one of the main factors is weight but i have had no stability concerns.

Hi Judith, It's easy to set up, each knob tightens or losses to allow for a wide variety of angles. I bought two different size clip boards to rest on the easel which hold paper or canvas. I absolutely love mine for the studio and plan on ordering another for home use too!

James, I see no problem with an easel of that height. We love our Wenzel--it is so easy to use!

I have my 12 in Miter Saw on the stand and find it remarkably stable. No wobble, stands with no side to side motion (or otherwise) at all. If persists when weight is added, would definitely return, Amazon's policy is one of the best and they want you to be satisfied.

It will support? YES It will wobble? probably I think it is to much weight for this tripod. better look for another (more sturdy) tripod.

Though I enjoy this easel unit it is not the best for frequent mobility. There are easels which pivet at the center with a knob on each side for securing any position. The brand name I do not know but the pivet model is your best bet.

I've been doing a lot or writing with this, and no sign of wobble yet. I alternate (depending on what I'm doing - drafting type project, or just writing) between an upright use, and a more angled (and harder on the "nib") use, and it still is nice and solid.

I always use two hands, so no, it does not wobble. I can't imagine setting the base down. Would be very slow.

It is surprisingly sturdy and balanced, if it is an ink jet it might wobble when it is printing. It wouldn't fall over. I have a 3 year old visitor that uses it as a personal table and she hasn't had any issues with tipping. the base is really solid. I put a round placemat on it and if you put a printer on it, you might want to put one on it too.

Currently holding a 10lb. framed painting. I would not display it on this easel if it were tipsy!
