Camp Pump / Bellows / Charger / Lantern - Flextailgear Max Pump Pro 

Using human breath to inflate things adds moisture and bacteria that can shorten the life of inflatables. Being able to draw air rapidly out of inflatables has to bring more moisture out as well. BRILLIANT! This is one-sixth the size of the electric blower I use now for keyboard dust removal and inflating a camp bed from a power source. It appears to be the same size, near enough, to the 'lightbulb' style hanging lantern I use in my tent. THANKS for spreading the 'word.'

Australian here, longtime been a 40+ year hiker. First time buying something like this. Actually arrived today. It is absolutely a superb piece of kit. The SUL crew will snub it, but for everyone else, this item is outstanding, and makes camp life even better!!!!

That's a nifty little tool when you simply do not feel like huffing and puffing to blow the mattress up yourself. And the air removal feature is pretty cool. The multiuse is appealing. The lantern feature adds value as well.

Great idea using it as a bellows. Thanks, Andy.🙂👍🔥

Thanks for sharing via RU-vid and showing the gadget and the fire burning. Smiles

Handy little pump with all the gizmos attached nice piece of kit.

Very cool. I think I am definitely gonna get in on the kickstarter for one. Thanks for sharing !!

When the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir 1st came on the market I got a Camp-tek Microburst. A compact backpacking mattress inflator. It inflates my mattress in about 3 minutes and is good for 25 fillings on one set of batteries. Runs off of 2 AAA batteries and weighs 2.3 oz. Not sure when I got it but it had to be over 23 years ago before I retired and was still working. It work's on the NeoAir , Big Agnes and most other backpacking mattresses.

I picked up the Tiny Pump X from Fextailgear (same as Pump 2 Pro but smaller and has hanger and light too but no charging port to charge other things) and it's brilliant. The only problem is I needed to make a housing for it so it wouldn't turn on accidentally in my pack. It fits perfectly inside a toilet roll and with the help of some duct tape for strength and a cut out for the nozzle to allow it to slide in, all was sorted. Did a test and it ran for 15 minutes before dying which is plenty of time for my normal trips and it's rechargeable with a power bank. Great bit of kit.

Nice little bit of kit

Good review and its a nice bit of kit 👍

Hey Andy, Nice job with the gear reviews just like TOGR with Luke. I've liked them all. I like you show improvements you recommend. Totally honest and cool. Be well

Another great video man ....love it

Nice review. I bought the Klymit one a while back.

i plan on waiting for this thing to make it to amazon its no longer on kickstarter and now on indiegogo and all funds are being processed in hong kong

Dude that's a handy bit of kit right there!

Nice peace of kit

Looks like another piece I need to add to my collection! Really though looks very useful thanks for sharing the info

Quite clever! Love your new channel, subbed to it immediately Andy!

Impressive.

clever little device, backed!

Nice piece of Kit 😉👍🏻🇺🇸🎣

Just ordered .... looks a great bit of kit

Nice review! 10 times on a sleeping mat should be plenty - but thanks for including that bit! As bellows? Oh, hell yes! But a short length of hose would let you keep the unit away from embers and dust, those things'll kill a bearing/engine right quick.

Wow I like it and that bellows trick. I imagine using it to remove that last bit of air that makes repacking my sleeping pad or air mattress such a pain.

Great

i like it andy

I went and ordered one on kickstarter after watching this.

Great video Andy 👍, awesome bit of kit 😃. James hit the nail on the head 👍 about manuly blowing up matts. One other question 🤔 , can you charge it from a solar panel? As it doesn't say on there site .

Looks like it does the job. I like the lamp idea (and the extra 'just in case' charge) but it is way too noisy so i won't be getting one. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though🙂

Want one!

That seems to be a interesting multi purpose piece of equipment.

Great informative video. Would you go with this Max Pump Pro OR the MAX PUMP 2 PLUS- 4 in 1 Portable 4800mAh one if you were to purchase one (for car/overlanding) ?

Which trekology mat is that, how does it do for side sleeping ?

The air removal feature looks very interesting, clothes or a sleeping bag may be able to go into some sort of sealing bag and then have the air sucked out to compact them right down. Don't suppose you could test it for compacting clothes?

Gee, there’s plenty of these devices around nowadays. This one seems to ✅ the boxes. Thanks for the video.

Pumps out as much hot air as one's local politician!

Could it air up an inflatable kayak? a raft?

The Pro seems to have more umf as mine takes twice as long with the same Trekology mat. ATB

Everything you want to know apart from the cost, v very convenient. Good idea though.

Oh yeah dood.

Nice bit of kit Andy just had a email off the company so looking forward to testing it out happy day's mate atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍

That's a handy little thing Andy. Shame it sounds like a jet taking off. 😁

It would be great if companies didnt cheap out and use brushed motors brushless would be very quiet.

Very nice but I would lose the lamp and rather fit a solar panel in there instead, thereby always having juice to blow up mattresses and its also a powerbank

I havevthe flrxtail gear tiny pump and its absolutely suoerb

Is this on the market yet?

Have you seen the video that Richard outdoors did😁😁👍

Nice vid 👍 Tiny X pump half the weight if you wanna go lighter

Amazing pump👍👍👍

How much are they to buy Andy?

How do we actually order, purchase one?

yeah the noise maker, i heard this using by mark from vilmark. Cost?

A little heave as a pump but great review 👍👍Grays

With other video reviews I always see people speed the time up on the inflation and then they say "it takes no time at all to inflate the pad" if thats the case why the need for time lapse? lol

So how much is it ?

That's just what I need for my inflatable lady friend.

2:55 4 kPa is 0.04 bar or 0.58 psi for medieval units.

I looked on the linked site only prices were in $ Couldn't get it in £ And couldn't find anywhere to actually order one Badly designed web site 😒 Like many USA sales sites too much blurb not enough actual price and order info 😡 Stupid really I thought they wanted to sell these great looking little machines

Nice video, but to be honest its not really a buschraft/survival item...if you want to be stealthy the last thing you want is a noisy pump attracting attention. I rather use a pumpsack, 3 pumps and you get the same result. And that needs no power...For light I use a headlamp which is far more practical and I use a solar power bank to charge up my stuff if needed. Its most likely not a bad product this pump but I have no use for it... And if you are a proper bushcrafter then you wont need it either.

No no no no. I love your channel but this just another mindless, fragile, gimmicky piece of Kickstarter junk.

What's better? Max pump 2 pro or Max pump 2 plus ? Because they have almost same specs 🤔
