## Description

u.go Anywhere Pochade Box was designed for travel from sea to summit and anywhere in between. The products are designed and manufactured by New Wave in Pennsylvania, USA. Each tree's inherent beauty, shown in the grain lines, knots, and varying wood tones, combines with our work handcrafting each pochade box to create an item that is uniquely yours. Patent Pending. Size/Weight: Measuring 6"x8"x1.25," the model is lightweight at 1.35 lbs, with palette included. Materials: Baltic Birch wood with stainless steel and aluminum accents providing strength where needed most. All hardware is non-corrosive. Wood Finish: The Baltic Birch is hand sanded, and finished with New Wave proprietary wood finish for maximum durability. The finish is non-porous, dense, and resistant to water as well as standard artist solvents and mediums. In addition, the finish is crack proof, chip proof, and non-yellowing. Magnetic Components: Strong rare earth magnets are used for the closure, panel/canvas holder, removable side wall for palette cleaning/replacement, and accessory side tray attachment. Friction Hinges: Sturdy 180° range of motion. Tripod Mount: Compatible with universal 1/4" tripod mounts. Palette: High density plastic palette is included. Oil paints can be removed with solvents, and dry acrylic paint peels off. Product Storage: Smooth exterior free of protruding wood or metal components allows for quick and easy storage in any pack. Surfaces: Maximum Recommended Painting Surface is 9" Vertical. Teeth on the stainless steel panel holders are capable of holding panels as thin as 1/16" and stretched canvas up to 3/4" thick.

Review: Well made, lightweight pochade box - Great pochade box! I have the 11" x 14" New Wave UGo and have been using it for several years with no complaints. It's lightweight (approx. 4lbs), fits easily on a tripod with a quick release plate and has an adequate mixing area. Comes with a removable plastic palette that can be replaced with a glass one. I use the removable side wings for additional space to hold brushes, etc. A well-made box. Would recommend.
Review: This is the one! - Over the past month, I’ve been looking at what is available online and how it fits with what I need: something lightweight, compact, sturdy, well-made, with a large palette to mix paints or able to hold my large lightweight plastic Masterson, and also able to hold various size boards for oil painting. It also had to be able to connect to my dad’s sturdy old tripod because I did not want an art easel and wanted to carry something that my dad loved. I initially balked at the cost of this but decided to buy something when my makeshift pochade was too unstable and bulky. This is made in PA and I liked the idea of supporting local businesses that make products in the U.S.. Went outside yesterday to paint and I am completely thrilled with this setup. I can see myself going everywhere to paint outdoors with this, and often. Thanks so much, Blick for carrying this, and UGo for making it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What type of tripod is recommended with this product?**
A: New Wave just came out with the u.go Tripod LCS1. This is what they recommend using for their Pochade Boxes. It also works well with other Pochade Boxes.

**Q: what is the panel Capacity? can it go longer than 24in horizontal ?**
A: This is for plein air. While the horizontal length is not limited, the weight is. It will be connected to a tripod. So the answer is yes it can and no you shouldn’t.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the palette space (interior)?**
A: I have the medium size one and the palette that it comes with measures 10.25" x 6.25". The sides of the pochade box due take off a bit of usable space, so its more like 10" x 6".

**Q: Greetings.  Is anyone using this for watercolor?  Thoughts/opinions on using this for plein air watercolor painting?  Thanx.**
A: I would absolutely use this for watercolor.  A watercolor block or paper will easily work and a small travel palette placed on the side tray.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems worth the price in quality! I have 2!
*by J***E on December 6, 2025*

It's nice. I couldn't decide between small or large so I got both. I find them both to be pretty handy depending on how large/heavy I want my carry bag to be. I still need to buy the extending piece so I can use for bigger canvas. For watercolor it's nice that the magnet holds my paint tin and it folds flat to be a table (which works better for watercolors often). I'm going to try them with oils soon. Looking forward to using oils outside where the fumes are less toxic. The only thing I don't like is the large metal sticking off the box making it harder to fit in a bag, I have to worry about the metal scratching other objects or the bag. Also it does not seem to be functional, so that's pretty dumb imo. Pricey but sturdy. Wish there was room inside to store my flat ceramic palette so it would be protected. Pretty much no room inside, I find. But lovely quality anyway.
