Gas Canister Stabiliser / Tripod thingymajics

Hi Guys, can someone please help. I’m looking for the gas canister stabiliser/tripod around Pretoria. I can do Joburg if need me, I frequent it quite a bit.

I’ve tried the usual Outdoor Warehouse, Makro, Solomon Outdoor, Builders Warehouse, Game, Camp World, and other smaller outdoor-equipment establishments without much luck.

I’ve made peace with ordering online, but thought I should ask the knowledgeable people on this platform first.

BTW, this is my first post. Now I sound like those people on the radio who mention to the DJ/Presenter that they’re a first time caller .

I know I picked my fire maple one up in store at Cape Union Mart, but that was a while ago.

@Jaxz - I will try the big Cape Union Mart branches when I drive past them. The few I’ve tried so far that are close to me didn’t have, worse they didn’t know what I was talking about even after showing them a pic.

Hi Guys, thought I’d report back. Got the item at Drifters (William Nicole Drive, Bryanston, JHB). Fantastic service there. Got assisted by a Kyle, great guy. Can’t remember when last I had such great service.

Just chipping in to add that I recently bought this ultra-cheap tripod thingy from Takealot, and it seems pretty good - fits my small MSR canister just fine! For just R29, I suggest throwing one in with your next Takealot order.

I so want to strangle you right now Phlippieb .
I’ll add it to my cart the next time I order from takealot. Thanks buddy. Much appreciated. I know a few friends who will appreciated this as a small gift.

Lol yeah sorry, I only saw this topic in my weekly highlight, otherwise I could have shared that product sooner. I think the more pricey ones will give you more bang for your buck though. The cheap one takes a bit of fiddling to fit over the canister, and it’s on the heavy side.
