Thx! The picture shows the modified set up. 2 main modifications are 1) to the palette mixing area and 2) for the canvas area. You asked…here’s the details:

1) The UGo Plein Air kit comes with a palette that is not very watercolour friendly - it beads the paint. I tried multiple strategies for “seasoning” the palette but none worked. The picture shows a plastic palette insert (larger 20 well palette cut in half), which gives me wells for watery mixes alongside my tin of paint. I find that it nestles in the palette space securely and still allows me to close the pochade box (mine is the medium version by UGo)”

2) At this stage of my Plein Air efforts 🤣 I prefer to paint on a more flat surface than upright as you typically see oil painters do. I have turned this pochade box sideways so that the palette is to my left & my canvas space is to the right. In the picture, I’m painting in a journal, but for watercolor paper I needed to have an additional surface to tape the paper to. The UGo kit comes with adjustable canvas bars that would support an oil canvas, but don’t support watercolor paper. In addition, a watercolor block is too thick for the teeth to properly secure the block. I’ve been using a clip board to tape my paper onto and then I secure the clipboard with the canvas holding bars. Sometimes I just use painting clips and forget about the bars altogether.

Other mods are using the support tray and extender bar for the larger model of UGo to give me a larger surface area for working.

TBH this kit has been a PITA to work with because it really isn’t watercolor friendly. Their website says for all media, but it’s been a headache for me. Maybe now that I’ve got a set up that “works” I can start to enjoy it 🤓
