Great NBS review. I'd struggle to buy the Max Pump 2 primarily because I can just fill up my long wide tensor pad in about a minute just using the air sack that comes with it. Being able to do that in 25 seconds with the 3 and reduce the need for a light, makes it worth the weight to me!
Ots a really good middle ground between the max 2 and tiny x2 for sure. I'm going to use it going forward as my main go to. I never liked the zero they made, just didn't make sense but they've hit the nail on the head with this one.
Great review of another great product from Flextail. I have the Max Pump 2 plus for our car camping trips (I agree with you, a bit to heavy for a backpacking trip) and the original Tiny Pump X when I want something more lightweight. Both excellent pieces of kit, and this looks like it's a nice addition to their range. Thanks for sharing.
The speed of inflation for me doesn't matter but if they could continue in trying to make them quieter would be great. Wild camping in itself is about being discreet and there is nothing worse than announcing your location with a loud electric pump. I have the flextail tiny pump but have reverted back to pump sacks as they are quieter and quicker than my tiny pump.
Looking good, considerably quicker , more comparable to the Max pump pro 2 or Max pump plus 2 which both have much bigger batteries at 3600mah / 4800mah respectively compared to 1950mah and have the very useful battery banks super handy Lots of choices now , Flextail just dominating 👊
Nice design and tripod mount is a good addition. I really like my Max Pump 2 plus which has made a huge difference to pumping up the Exped Megamat duo and just as important if not more deflating it. Very handy as fire bellows as well. Max pump 3 doesn’t act as a power bank either.
No power bank. But I had the max pump 2 and found it too big and heavy for wild camping. This I think is a great mid way option and just so fast with a great light too.
@@NoviceWildCamper to be honest mate, didn’t realise how good it was till I saw your video. I love that reduced power mode , mats are very easily over inflated and this will reduce that.
Couldn’t resist.. I have the original Tiny X but for some reason it doesn’t seem to get on with my Exped pad and struggles, showing me a low battery light straight away. Disconnected, it’s fine. Hopefully this one will work better, and the light looks a lot better as well. I’m not keen on the original’s very harsh white.
I reckon this one knocks the x2 out completely other than on weight and size and even then it's only slightly larger and heavier. I had the max pump 2 as well and this is way better. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Errr well, I’m still at the 70L Osprey and way too much stuff stage anyway, so doubt I’d notice a difference of a mouthful of water’s weight 😂
Very professional review Mike. I like the pump, especially the volume as I do a lot of packraft blowing. The design is cool too, looks like a EPIRB. A cover over tge usb port would be desirable though. Mike, off piste, I am a bit of a watch fan, what is yours, looks like an omega watch face with sector bracelet?
@odlanorirom it has several adapters so will depend on what you need for your own tent or kayak. You'd have to check but you can also buy others to link to it.
So this may mean we wait until next year and be blown away? Pun intended. It’s not ultralight but I don’t care. Anything to make this 72 year old life easier done! Heck, I’ll take my 500 gram chair right along with it.
@GEORGIOS-n4j I don't think it would hit the pressure needed for a SUP. If you use my link you can click on SUP pumps and you should be able to use my discount code as well 👍
I'm more a fan of using an air sack that comes with most good quality pads these days than just lungs and also in the Winter adding moisture from breathing in to it isn't the best.

@IvanDP1967 it's a great pump that sits bang in the middle of those two and I definitely prefer it over my tiny x 2 for sure 👍

I know what you mean. But for just 20 seconds it's worth it in my eyes.

Yeah I had the 2 pro but didn't really like it. To big and bulky. Don't think it had a light either?
@@NoviceWildCamper pro 2 got variable light only bit bigger than X2 , defo not as big as the 3
@southcoastoutdoorsuk6301 ah maybe I'm thinking of the 2 plus.
@@NoviceWildCamper that’s got a light as well 🤣
@southcoastoutdoorsuk6301 can't remember. Was years ago. All I can remember was it was massive and heavy 🤣

@@NoviceWildCamper I’m not counting every milligram but I can see for those carrying their gear any distance that’s going to be important.
Great review , they just sent me one. Was a nice surprise.
@HardyTempestsWildCampsandWalks cheers buddy. It's a really decent pump. Thinking it might be my new go to.
@@NoviceWildCamper to be honest mate, didn’t realise how good it was till I saw your video. I love that reduced power mode , mats are very easily over inflated and this will reduce that.
@@HardyTempestsWildCampsandWalks also gives it more life too.

Thanks Dave. Yeah it's an old sea master. Bought it over 20 years ago now.
I’d like to see how well it deflates, like could it deflate a compression bag for a suitcase?
@joshuahagan9739 it's designed to do that sort of thing hence the thread connector.
..does it have adaptors for inflatable tent and kayak?
@odlanorirom it has several adapters so will depend on what you need for your own tent or kayak. You'd have to check but you can also buy others to link to it.

Is it suitable for vacuum bags?
@coolparrots5787 yes, as I said in the video it comes with a screw nozzle for vacuum bags
@@NoviceWildCamper I'm sorry, I'm Spanish, that's why I didn't understand most of what he talks about in the video. Thank you for your response.
@coolparrots5787 no problem
Sorry if I missed it but does it also deflate? Thanks
@@pquach00 yes mate. Just use the other end 👍
@@NoviceWildCamperthanks for the quick response.
la pompa si ferma da sola o si rischia di fare esplodere il materassino?

Hello, does anyone know if this pump could be used for a sup ?
@GEORGIOS-n4j I don't think it would hit the pressure needed for a SUP. If you use my link you can click on SUP pumps and you should be able to use my discount code as well 👍
Anyone got a uk site that sells this ?
@philmoreton2784 delivery is pretty quick. I think they stock in the uk for when you order.
Great comparison video Mike but personally I'm still a fan of lungs 🫁 😊
@@boyzinthewood1 depends if you've trekked miles beforehand 😂 then I'm fooked! 🤣
@@NoviceWildCamper I never trek miles 🤣 My 20s are long gone
🤣 I try not to but I've seen you on mountains up the lakes 🤫

@Bandare but then you bring a Lantern so may as well have one that's a pump too 👍
