Functional, lightweight, and totally cute!
I got this today. Opened it and put it together as per the video. As advertised. Goes together easily, the band is strong enough to hold extra brushes, 2 water cups, 12 half pans. Many mixing wells. Lightweight, as small as a cell phone and easily packed. As advertised. I can't wait to go on my next trip!

Little and Mighty
Impressively designed to be compact and tidy for travel. You can efficiently swap out your colors as needed and it provides more than adequate mixing space. I like this palette so well that I sometimes also use it impromptu to set up in rooms other than my studio. I have other plain air palettes but find myself using this one the most.

Perfect for plein air painting
Ver light weight small and rests on one knee. Nice to have 2 water compartments. The brush is 2 in one.

One of my favorite art supplies EVER!
One of the most brilliant art supplies in my bag! Not sure of what I did before I owned this thing, but I sure am happy that I’ve been enjoying this one for several months now.I love the attention to detail with the rubber band thing that holds the piece used to keep everything closed and together. That piece loosens some over time, but when the rubber band piece is put directly under it in storage, it holds the clip piece perfectly in place. So it not only holds it to keep it from getting lost while the palette is in use, but it also keeps it secure in travel.The size of this is probably my favorite thing about it. If I’m mixing bigger washes I do find that I need a bigger mixing area, but I just bought a cheap, larger flat rectangular one to keep in my art bag for those bigger projects, & it works perfectly while still cutting down on extra bulk as I tote my art supplies around town. This palette’s size and functionality are perfect, & I still get this goofy smile on my face every time I pull it out to use it and think again about how much easier it’s made portable painting for me. I don’t think it could have been planned out any better!I also like to paint in bed in the evenings under a daylight bulb as I’m winding down, and this makes even that process easier and more compact in the space I’m taking up next to me in bed. If I’m too lazy to get up and dump the water out because I’m falling asleep, I can just put it on the nightstand to be tossed in the morning without having to concern myself over water rings that might have been left by my standard ball jar that I’ve usually used for water. I keep hoping one of my kids or one of my nieces and nephews will take up watercolor so that I can be the cool mom/aunt to gift them with something as nifty as this! Kudos to its creators. It really is something special!

Not made for Plus Sized thighs :)
Being an artist, I was very excited to find something that would work while painting en plein air. However, if you are a plus size person like I am, you will be disappointed that the width of the assembled item will not fit across your thigh. It was made for an older gentleman who pulls his socks up to his knees :) With that being said, the portability is great and still can be used. I had to find a friend who could 3D print "extenders" to make this plus sized friendly. So....NOW I am looking forward to using this as it really is a nice product. I hope that helps!

Absolutely love it!!
This portable palette is a must have for plein air! It will hold a lot of watercolor paint. I love that it can hold clean water and dirty water. It’s stable on a surface or across the knee. I like how the travel brush is two in one. The mixing palettes has enough depth to where you won’t have unwanted colors mixing or spilling off the surface. I love how something so compact is so versatile to use! Can get so much usage out of this portable palette for a fair price of cost. It is now an essential in my plein air bag! I highly recommend this portable palette to other watercolor artists!

A terrific little pallet, especially for travel or those who need to save space
This is small but mighty. It comes apart and sets up easily, giving you water cups on each side that act as “legs” to support the middle. Really makes it handy to take watercolor, gauche or other mediums with you almost anywhere and cleans up well.
