Optimus Canister Stand Black – lightweight foldable gas canister stand

Optimus Canister Stand Black Edition is an ultra-lightweight and compact foldable stand designed to improve the stability of gas canisters and canister-mounted camping stoves.

Three widely spreading support legs increase the footprint of the gas canister, creating a more stable outdoor cooking system. It is a simple yet highly practical accessory for hiking, trekking, backpacking, bikepacking and camping.

Improved stove stability

When a compact camping stove is mounted directly on top of a gas canister, particularly when using larger cookware, stability becomes especially important. The Optimus Canister Stand increases the support area of the canister and creates a more stable cooking setup.

Optimus specifically designed the stand to increase stove stability for safer outdoor cooking.

Fits gas canisters up to 450 g

Optimus Canister Stand Black is designed to fit both small and large standard gas canisters up to 450 g / 16 oz, making it a versatile accessory for different canister sizes.

Only 24 g

The Canister Stand adds virtually no noticeable weight to a backpacking kitchen. According to the 2026 Optimus collection specifications, it weighs approximately 24 g / 0.84 oz.

When opened, the stand has a diameter of 175 mm / 6.9 in, providing a substantially wider support footprint than the gas canister alone.

Compact folding design

After cooking, all three legs fold into a compact package measuring only 120 × 20 mm. This makes the stand easy to store together with your stove and other outdoor cooking accessories.

Durable nylon construction

The stand is made from nylon. Optimus specifically states that the material remains durable even in cold temperatures, making the Canister Stand suitable for outdoor use in a wide range of conditions.
