We have battle tested and designed a portable eTower system to withstand the harshest of conditions and impacts. Both anchoring base options are built to withstand up to 45+ MPH wind when properly anchored.  The Apollo Base eTower anchoring system has a special 7″ PVC base that is buried underground and packed tightly or installed in a cement court permanently. The light system then easily slides in and out but is fully anchored to the ground to prevent tipping.   The Apollo Deluxe Quad-Pod is our most robust base. It features 4 legs that are deployed with rotating octagonal feet. They pivot to allow setup on any surface & up to 10 degree ground tilt. These feet have holes to anchor them to soft surfaces via grounding stakes. For hard surfaces we include weighted bags that can be filled with sand or liquid which adds an additional safety measure. As this is a portable light system there is still going to be a slight chance of tipping via extreme collision but the chances are very low and with the carbon fiber design, the likelihood of additional damage or injury is very low.
