Prove It! Part 2

In this segment of Prove It Part 2! Mikey G answers the question...how does the Beauport large format outdoor easel stand up to high winds coming from different angles? We received many questions and comments in Part 1 (Beauport Easel Prove it - Part 1) "It would be nice to see a more realistic side blowing of the canvas on easel. Of course it would seem more stable with wind front on. Or what about wind from behind the easel, coming at you?" Asked Ruth Collins. Well... we did just that and set out to see if the Beauport Easel could handle wind for any direction and Prove It!. Watch part 2 as the Beauport Easel gets hit with wind from all directions.

Will the Beauport Easel stand up to the many conditions it claims it can.? Will it stand up the wind test? Is it sturdy? Will it hold the large canvas size canvas it claims? Mikey G finds out and so can you!
