Control stands are a burden to carry and an intrusion in the forest. Rarely is a stand really necessary. There is a certain nostalgia coming from the sight of a flag hanging from a sapling or branch.
The solution: a sturdy platform that sits conveniently right on top of the flag. The lightweight structure holds the Sportident® BFS8 control station, number card and night reflector. |
