EASyL Plein Air Umbrella Kit User manual

irst invented by EASyL, this innovative and revolutionary umbrella kit sets another new
Fstandard for quality plein air equipment.
The kit consists of three parts:
1. C-clamp with universal ball joint and tube support.
2. Telescopic tube.
3. Double-deck ventilated UV protection umbrella.
The umbrella is clamped to the tripod leg, instead of easel to prevent easel damage. The C clamp
can attach to any round tripod leg, the square leg of a French easel, or the oval leg on a Soltek easel.
The V shape rubber pads on the clamp ensure tightness and stability.
The all metal universal ball joint is another innovative design, enabling the artist to adjust the
umbrella to any desired position effortlessly and conveniently.
To set up the whole kit, the C-clamp is attached to one of the tripod leg, the telescopic tube is
mounted to the support on the universal ball joint, and the umbrella pole is inserted to the
telescopic tube. A bungee cord is attached to the umbrella and a fixed position on the setup.

Telescopic tube

The fully extended telescopic tube enables an umbrella height of up to
107 inches from the ground, good for even the tallest artist.
The adjusting of the umbrella will be determined by the artists height,
the sunlight direction, and the easel tripod height. Artists will soon find
the most suitable position for their own personal requirements.
The umbrella is made with a silver outside coating for UV protection
and a black, anti-reflective interior. The silver coating reflects the
sunlight, significantly reducing heat, and the black interior surface will
remove reflective light, enabling the artist to paint with uniform,
natural lighting. The diameter of the umbrella is approximately 45
inches, perfectly covering the artist and painting. ( We do not make a
larger umbrella simply because too big a diameter will draw a strong
force from the wind and can cause the
easel setup flipped over under a strong
gust of wind ).
The umbrella has a double-deck
ventilation system consists of an upper
cover on top of a frame unit, and a lower
umbrella main cover. It ensures a fixed
and large ventilation gap between the
upper and lower decks . In this way the venting gaps are formed and
remain open constantly. There are eight ventilation openings on the top
of the umbrella designed to reduce wind drag. The umbrella frame is
made of fibreglass providing absolute strength with minimum weight.
The folded umbrella, along with the telescopic tube, is stored in the supplied nylon carry bag.
The umbrella pole is inserted into the extendable telescopic tube
without using a locking device. This is important as it ensures that even
in the event of a gust of strong wind the umbrella will not cause the easel
to flip over (this is the safety mechanism to protect your setup and work
from damage). The umbrella is secured by a supplied bungee cord
attached one end to the umbrella frame, and the other end to the tube
lock. This is the safety means, in case a strong wind causes the umbrella
to pop off from the tube, the bungee cord will ensure the umbrella is not
blown away, and easy to retrieve.
We do not suggest using an umbrella in winds exceeding 20 mph.
