AIRBRUSH REVIEW CUSTOM MICRON VS MR HOBBY PS771 

I own a ps771 dru blair, with swapped trigger spring, and just acquired a Kustom CM mint from Oct 06'. I'm excited to compare, but your results I already agree with. This Micron has all the features of the modern CM C+, But a larger Cup, taller trigger, the Mac valve and cutaway handle, plus it's designed for primarily solvents. Thanks for a great video, and I completely agree GSi Creos brushes are fantastic quality. All Mr. Hobby stuff is fire

Own a ps289 for about 6-8 months, fantastic AB, the only thing is the cup from inside is orange-red colour now, because of cleaners and thinners as you mentioned. Ps290 trigger type and ps 270 are in my collection for about 3months ps290 and 1 month ps270, what can I say, as a model builder, bigger scale 1:9 motorcycles and 1:35 vehicles, ps290 is awesome, literally it is a mini spray gun, as for me one of the advantages of ps290 is two nozzle cups in a box. Ps270 I'm using it for smaller details (bolts, fastenings, etc) it does it very well. These 3 are very reliable ABs. Of course I'd like to try Iwata one day maybe Will start with Iwata eclipse hp-cs. Have a good day 🙂

Great video enjoyed watching this. 👍

Nice review, I subscribed (1000-th)

Ps771, is actually a micron. They both come out of the same factory under the "micron" line. Tldr, iwta dont manufacture the airbrush, they are a brand/ distributor for a factory called Fuso Seiki (BB rich). You can tell they are all of the same design, their parts are interchangable! Only problem is every brands "Micron" have different needle size. Iwata, Mr hobby, rich pen, olympus. These brands' top models are all microns and interchangeable parts between them all. I have tried. Also not saying iwata is a small company they are actually one of the largest heavy machinery manufacturer and builder in japan. Airbrush is not their first priority hence they hire others to make.

excelente analise

cracking review 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Great video man and that intro is mint keep the intro fella

Hi Rob, love your reviews mate, I use a couple of iwata eclipse for spraying my airsoft guns but im now doing logos and graphics on cases etc so I'm needing a more detailed brush, so defo going to look at the creos range... on a totally different note any tips on what you clean your brushes with? I'm using createx/ vallejo paints Thanks in advance

Siiiick, just ordered a PS-270, am super stoked! It'll be my second airbrush, started with a cheap dual action Timbertech brush I got of Amazon, which as a noob seems pretty decent, still can't wait to compare the two. I;ve heard nothing but great things about the PS-270.

Great video! Subscribed! 👊

Great review! Thank you for being so thorough. I wonder how the Mr. Hobby PS771 would stack up against a Harder & Steenbeck Infinity 2-in-1 (with 0.15mm needle)?

Excellent review, very informative.

Hey Rob i don't know if you've heard but they have stopped making the micron and they are bringing a newer version out plus I think I read somewhere that the greos needle and nozzle will fit in the micron but they are also made out of a softer metal so it will not take the knocks like the micron. Just a bit of info for ya that was nooderling around in my head..lol

I love my procon boy. If Mr. Hobby ever releases an airbrush with a floating nozzle I'll be buying it day one. :O

How would you compare the precision on the trigger (like spraying at the same pull back distance) between the PS270 and the PS771? My use case is a little different, I paint models, and my H&S Silverline and PS290 are perfect for painting surfaces. But when I want to post shade things like panel lines, I find the H&S has too much variance on when the paint starts to flow, making it really hard to follow the lines on the model. I can't even use the trigger stop, because it varies when the paint sprays on each trigger pull. I also imagine the performance will vary depending on paint type, am I asking the impossible, using acrylic lacquers like Tamiya and Mr Color? 29:50 Oh I see you anticipated my question : ) Thanks, I will leave this comment for the algorithm, and subscribe

the mac valve does not lower the psi. in fact it will raise it when you close it down. if you dont believe it look at your compressor when you close the valve. what the mac valve is doing is controling the volume of air

Iwata makes both airbrushes I believe, and parts are interchangeable between platinum series and CM

Very interesting video Rob, as you know I've never picked up an airbrush so now nothing but this video has given me the basics that I need if I was going to get one. I have zero talent for any freehand airbrushing but was thinking about using stencils for adding logo's and small designs to my panels just to add something different to my hobby so I would say that the cheaper Greos would fit the bill. Oh who's that dodgy geezer called Tony that keeps popping up and commenting on your vids 🤔 I think he could be trouble 😂, having said that I think I saw you pop up on Tony's vid on Friday 😎 great to see you in the live chat Rob 👌👍

Hello, i watch your vidéo, and thank you, it's the only who make a good comparison. But i don't really understand all what you say ( sorry i 'm french) i actually have an occasion to buy a ps771 for 275 € than a custom micron for 498 € . So witch IS better, do the custom micron IS better ? Or the ps771 IS a really great deal ? Thanks a lot

Do you think Mr hobby uses iwata parts or just the patent?

Not that I don't believe you but how much is it due to your skill and experience?

Which compressor match with this airbrush ?

diff between ps-770 and 771? , / leaning towards this airbrush instead of custom micron... although the paintcup is as ugly as ever.... // using infinity atm, will i notice a difference? . infintys trigger is nagging me, fiddly.. unprecise etc... // how is ps-770 vs custom micron in the trigger response departement ? ...

not really an advantage... other airbrushes have caps and it prevents spills too.

I know this is old but anyone looking at custom micron knows what "Double Action" Means.

There cant be much competition between a mr hobby and an Iwata airbrush.

If you can make any brush do anything then it’s just down to price why not say that,

A 1.8 needle on a airbrush branded as Mr. Hobby almost seems like a contradiction. 3.5 needle seems more like what a ‘Mr. Hobby’ airbrush should be.

It’s creos not greos
