Optimus Nova Plus

[rocks]

I spotted this new stove on cotswold camping in Betws y coed yesterday. Looks like a good contender for my MSR Dragonfly.

Has anyone actually got one, and what do you think of it?

Details are here http://www.optimus.se/

I like the idea of the remote valve.. pricy but very compact. Always liked the optimus metal pump units too. The MSR is plastic but has survived a long time, only broken one, and they changed the design soon after to improve its strength.

Stick with the Optimus Prime

Seriously though, looks like a nice bit of kit - how much is "pricey" though?

Pricy

lol.. probably not as much as an mint condition Optimus Prime figure with his gun and original box..

£139.99 : Though I get a discount off this price, but still more than I paid for my MSR.

I have been trying to figure out how the flame control works, appears it uses the entire fuel line as a flexible turning handle to increase decrease the flame.

I like my MSR alot and its very stable with the trillium stand and the pan stays are wide enough to support a good frying pan for those morning fry ups.
