Bottom holders for Showcard should be adjustable so that you can insert showcard in top horizontal clamp and rest bottom of card on the holders of legs. They are stationery now so you can't use them.
We got a lot of use out of this easel and for game night it was so useful we went a bought a second. We use it with both a white board (30"x36") and with flip chart paper
What an overpriced easel -- one leg wouldn't untwist to fold back up -- and when I tried twisting it the plastic area at the top that anchors the 'clip' broke into pieces. The clip doesn't grab onto the paper and this is just a huge waste of money -- will be returning it.

A tri-pod with two legs to stand on!
on August 6, 2014

The tri-pod comes with instructions for adjusting the legs but no instructions for attaching the pad holder to the tri-pod. The pad holder didn't seem too secure but it did manage to stay up and hold the pad during two consecutive days. Attached to the front legs are two small arms for supporting the pad at the bottom but these cannot be slid down the legs far enough to be below the pad (the easel pads seem to be standard sized). The legs were easy to adjust but by the middle of day 2 of use one leg began to slide back into the telescoping leg and it wouldn't tighten again to stay in place. For the rest of the meeting the presenter abandoned the tri-pod and proceeded to stick blank sheets from the pad directly to the wall and write on them there. Staples made it easy to return the tri-pod. We opted to NOT get another of the same!
I bought two of these easels for a presentation and both fell apart on the first use. The legs are designed correctly and they collapse or fall apart easily. I do not recommend this item.
