Medium Falcon®/Sunbird Flag - X-Base (Stand Only)

The medium stand with a four-pronged steel X base: four aluminum pole sections, the base, and a carry bag, with no graphic. Order this version when the ground is hard — asphalt, concrete, brick, a gym or expo-hall floor — and a spike has nothing to bite into.

At 10.5 ft. (Falcon) or 9 ft. (Sunbird) there is a lot of flag above the base, so an X base used outdoors should be weighted. That is not a flaw in the base; it is how every surface-mounted flag works. A water bag over the center is the usual answer and adds roughly 24 lbs.

Which flags this fits

• 10.5 ft. Medium Falcon® feather flag
• 9 ft. Medium Sunbird teardrop flag

Both use a 16.0 mm base fitting. The small, large and extra-large flags take different pole sets and are listed separately.

What's in the box

• (1) Pole #1
• (1) Pole #1b
• (1) Pole #2
• (1) Pole #4
• (1) four-pronged steel X base
• (1) carry bag

Pole sections are numbered across the whole flag range rather than per kit, so the medium set runs #1, #1b, #2 and #4. The absence of a #3 is not a missing part — that section belongs to the larger sizes.

Where an X base is the only option

Indoor trade shows and expo halls will not let you drive a spike into their floor, and most will not let you tape to it either. A weighted X base is what gets a 9 or 10 ft. flag standing inside a booth or at a registration entrance. The same applies to sidewalk sales, mall concourses and dealership lots.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include a flag?
No. Poles, base and bag only. A graphic you already own will fit this pole set.

Do I have to weight it?
Indoors, no. Outdoors, yes — a water bag or sandbag over the center. An unweighted X base outdoors is how flags end up on their side.

I already have poles and only need the base.
The X base is sold on its own. Order that instead of the full stand.

Can I switch between bases later?
Yes. Both bases use the same 16.0 mm fitting, so one pole set works with either. Buying the second base alone is cheaper than a second stand.
