Nancy Bae,
Here are the details, I hope it illustrates how everything is made.
The first picture is all the peaces you need to make an easel out of a photo tripod, if you hold the palette in the hand.
The easel is as lightweight as the pochade system and it takes canvas up to 30 " in the hight. I put it into a backpack. The only thing you will have to carry in hand is the finished painting.
Julie and Laurel,
Thanks, the landscapes are from Geilo, Norway.

Quite ingenious, Allan. Thanks for posting it.
Though that might have been "easy" for you to make, I feel quite sure that it would be beyond my limited handyman abilities to put together, let alone to find or make the parts for!

Nancy Bea,
I hope you find what you are looking for. If you don't, you might want to try attaching a nut to the bottom of a cigar box, small wooden easel box (fairly inexpensive at art supply stores) or even just a piece of masonite (I glued a 1 1/2" square piece of wood to the middle to hold the nut) that will allow you to attach it to your tripod. Not perfect, but cheap 
Allan,
Thanks for the photos - my hat is off to your creative inventiveness. Very impressive!

Michele,
I know that one have to have a workplace and some tools. But the materials are cheep.
The flat metal was taken from an old stainless kitchen table, the aluminum pipes are 5/8", total lengt 60". the wing nuts from the hardware store.
The shelf and palette are made from birch plywood and varnised.
Then, of cause, you will have to buy a couple of wine bottles to your good friend the handyman 
If anybody is going to try it, please ask questions, I will post additional meassures.
