Control Stands

These stands were developed by the O-Store keeping in mind that we want light weight, easy-to-carry, space efficient stands with an option to have the pin punch attached to the post. They are made from light-weight aluminum , and have a SPORTident bracket attached. There is an option to have the back-up pin punch permanently mounted underneath the plastic bracket, avoiding the need to have punches dangling from flags and tangling themselves up as you carry them through the forest to and from the control sites. Control flags are typically looped over the bracket, and are held in place by the SI control. Post is 89 cm (35 inches) tall, however this is easily customizable so contact us if you'd like something different. Total weight of one set of 10 is 2 kg.

Due to high shipping costs, contact us if you are wanting to order fewer than 10 stands.

These flag stands were designed for orienteering programs not using SPORTident electronic timing equipment. With options at approximately 30 cm and approximately 85 cm tall, these are great for kids programs so that youngsters can see the top. Put a sticker on the top plate to make your control description more exciting; order posts with one hook and hang a flag or a basket to put treats in; or order posts with two hooks and hang both flag and basket; use them indoors by putting them inside an orange cone.

Another O-Store creation that we are so excited to share with you! These holders for SPORTident timing controls are designed to fit snuggly atop a typical orange traffic cone, ideal for indoor or school yard orienteering games. The O-Store was wanting to create a product to make it quick and easy for teachers and programme coaches to set up for a group of enthusiastic youngsters.
Purchase the toppers individually or pick up your cones at the same time and make it a set!
