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

The same three-piece aluminum pole set as the small spike-base stand, supplied with a four-pronged steel X base instead. That is the version to order when the flag has to stand on a hard surface — a parking lot, a sidewalk, a gym floor, a showroom, a convention center aisle — where a spike has nothing to go into.

No graphic is included. It is sold as a stand so you can replace a bent pole or a lost base without reprinting artwork that is still good, or keep a second set in the truck for the days you are on asphalt rather than grass.

Which flags this fits

• 8.25 ft. Small Falcon® feather flag
• 7.5 ft. Small Sunbird teardrop flag

Both take a 16.0 mm base fitting, which is why one stand serves a feather and a teardrop. The medium, large and extra-large flags use longer pole sets and are listed separately.

Weight it outdoors

An X base holds a flag upright by its own mass and footprint, so outdoors it wants help. A water bag drops over the center of the base and adds about 24 lbs when filled, which is the difference between a flag that stays where you put it and one that walks across a parking lot by lunchtime. Indoors, on a still floor, the bare base is fine.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include a flag?
No. Poles, base and bag only. The printed graphic is a separate product, and a graphic you already own will fit this pole set.

Can I use this on grass?
Yes, but a spike base holds far better in soft ground. If grass is where the flag usually lives, order the spike-base version of this stand.

I only need the base.
The X base is sold on its own, as is the spike base. Order the part rather than the whole stand.

Will it hold in wind?
The hardware is rated to 18–23 mph with the base weighted. Above that, take the flag down — the graphic usually gives out before the pole does.
