I borrowed this easel to photograph some paintings, and the tray on it is crooked. I’ve tried all the different knobs and levers on the easel, and there’s one that will raise/lower the tray, but nothing seems to help adjust the tray.
I don’t know the make/model of this easel, but I was hoping someone here would have used a similar one and have some ideas. Thanks!
From what I can see the whole easel is leaning over to the left. Usually all three legs are adjustable for length, you need to lengthen the left leg to get things level.
Only the back leg is visible in your photo and that seems to be telescopic.
We really need some photos of the bottom of the legs to see how they lock in place.
Some telescopic legs have a devise inside that expands when you twist the leg clockwise locking the leg. To release twist anticlockwise.
Others have an over centre leaver, perhaps the band I can see on the rear leg is part of such a mechanism?
The easel looks in pore condition so maybe the leg is jammed and needs a bit of gentle persuasion to free it.
