Music stands from Amazon.com are common

3ft and up

Wasn't sure of how tall you need for your ranges.

www.Flyingfishfundementals.com sells poles or photographers lite stands from Amazon, they have a wider foot print than music stands and stand up better in the wind.

I use photography lighting stands. Easily adjustable, and foldup for storage and transport. I've never had one blow over in the wind.

You could buy some PVC pipe of varying diameters, fasten to a wood base, drill and tap each section for set screws, and epoxy the proper pivot pin diameter to the top section. A fellow BR competitor did just that and even made the base where he could adjust the pole for plumb (very important). He also has a circular level that fits over the pivot pin to confirm plumb. Myself, I went to steel supplier, bought various size tubing and flat stock and had nuts for set screws tig welded to the sections. Looking back, I should have just bought finished poles and spent my time shooting.

My combination is the Ezell Wind Flags and the poles w/spikes from Flying Fish Fundamentals

I have sent you 2 PM messages about flag stands. My stands are made for Smileys flags.

Somewhat off pole topic, but does anybody know if Orland wind flags is still in business? Can't get any response in past few days.

If you don't find any, I have 2 dual vane Orlando flags that I would sell. Send me an offer and if it is reasonable, will send you a picture and can ship tomorrow.

Ben, just made contact with Orlando Wind Flags. Depending on his timing I may make you an offer. Thanks for responding. I'll get back to you in a few days if Orlando doesn't work out.
