I used these little battery powered airbrush compressors to do custom shoes for a couple of years before finally getting a real airbrush compressor. I still use them all the time. They're great for their portability.
I'm thinking of getting one for miniature painting. Surely, as someone who has never done airbrushing this might be a good entry and if I feel it holds me back in the future I can always go for a more robust set up as an experienced user.
Great video Carsten. That little battery compressor sure did well. The Creos was definitely nowhere near the quality of the Iwata Micron! Can’t wait for the artwork video!
Good video, that is essentially what I did. Though I had to use a different trigger that had a slightly longer pin to hit the activation on the pump. I borrowed one from another airbrush and put the one that was too short on the one I borrowed from.
Nice. Thanks for review. Noise is pretty much like those haircutting machines, which is just fine. Hmm. The price for such a set seems to be around 60EUR according to EU Ebay, Amazon, and other sites. Assuming that compressors (in the EU area) cost around 100EUR, I suppose this is one is indeed a nice way to get started.
This airbrush looks like others I have seen demonstrated and may have a performance mode button on the bottom which allows it to work at a stronger level. Thought you might like to know considering many of these things don’t come supplied with instructions. :)
Thanks for the vid! I recently got this airbrush as a starter and have been digging it. Been curious if it would work with a better airbrush when I'm ready to upgrade.
I would like to use the battery/compressor with iwata revolution, but I cant seem to see on pictures online that you can disassemble the air connection for it. Maybe you have one on hand and could check?
No, there is no way this would produce enough air pressure to paint shirts. Textile paints such as createx are thick and need a bit more pressure such as 45-55psi. When I used createx in this unit for the purpose of painting shoes I had to thin the paint out considerably.
I haven't actually timed how long mine lasts (seems like a good day of heavy use for sure) but I found if I hook it up to a battery pack I can continue to use it while it charges back up
Great info. Your videos help tremendously. I recently got a stencil from airshot. Which is the Frankenstein. Would love to see your take on it before I put it on my car. Did I mention I'm not the best painter in the world.
I bought one similar of yours and tried with 2 different Iwata (HP-CH and Micron CM-B) and didn’t work... 😒 I think the problem comes from the length of the link between the air and the airbrushes (a small cylinder) it’s too short... If it can help someone, just saying... And thanks for the video ! Good content!
Thanks for your compliments and glad you enjoyed the video. try unscrewing the valve assembly from the battery (if it came with an airbrush) and then screw the iwata directly into the battery so you are using that valve assembly instead ...that should solve the issue 👍🏻🤔
Airbrush Asylum thanks for answering, things are I cannot unscrew the valve from the battery that’s the problem 😤 It looks exactly like yours but the valve doesn’t come off, only the airbrush 😩... Anyway if I cannot find a solution I will still use it for simple tasks... By the way I’m in EU if you recommend some links to buy one from here (with the valve swap possibility) I take it 😉 Thanks again
great video. I was thinking about getting this compressor and I have a Neo for Iwata airbrush. Spraygunner doesn't know it it will work, but since you hooked up an Iwata to yours, do you think the Neo would work? Thanks
this model, is it possible to open it for future battery replacement? equal an iPhone, the battery is internal, but it is possible to change it by disassembling the device ....
I bought one of these when I started painting model kits and now that the base airbrush broke I'm out of ideas which airbrush I can use on it. I Wasn't aware that you can't unscrew the body valve on any airbrush. Messed up a brand new iwata trying to screw the body valve off. Does anyone know of an adaptor that would work or other model airbrushed besides these 2 that would work on the battery
I would suggest to get in contact with SprayGunner they deal with battery units and have much more knowledge than I would plus they also sell them and I assume adaptors as well 👍🏻
Hi everyone, a huge newbee to airbrushing and it being quite an expensive hobby i purchased a similar battery charged compressor and changed the cheap airgun with an harder and steenbeck ultra airbrush. But i am not getting the same pressure, lower with the better airgun. Please help
Damn, just received a Iwata Neo to use as a replacement for the broken brush that came with my battery powered unit and it seems the the pin in the valve is way too short to trigger the compressor.
I bought one from chinese seller in ebay so it was not No Name Brand but it looks exactly the same. Unfortunately the air valve doesn't want to come out, any help on how i can loosen it up? trying to remove it made me damage the thread and now the airbrush fits very loosely to the air valve. Im looking to replace it if it could only be removed..
The one listed ‘the white one’ according to SprayGunner is correct and the latest model it’s just showing the white version, if you are unsure please contact them first and mention this video 👍🏻
- Sorry , no, the SprayGunner one looks correct - your link to Amazon now show different model. 😕 ( I tried that Amazon one - all the guts of an asthmatic ant ! )
I have a question. I'm a miniature painter who just ordered one of these brush/compressor kits. Do you think working with a small surface area that the low pressure (around 15psi) is enough to do simple basecoating?
can i hook up a hose between the can and the airbrush? so i can hold the brush directly without the canister, for better balance, and comfort, and lighter weight, and better control.
I would think you would have more control with the battery pack then with a hose. And you would have more flexibility without a hose dragging you down. As far as the weight goes you should be able to get comfortable with it with some practice. I've been airbrushing for 20 years myself and think this is genius.
@@IronMan-yg4qw Nope, the bottom of the trigger on the airbrush pushes a button on the compressor to switch it on. Adding a hose would make it impossible to get to that compressor switch.
SomeGuyInSandy - go direct with Spraygunner . com, They deal with a lot of the “No Name” brand. I use them almost exclusively for my airbrush stuff. If you haven’t used them before, create an account and use the code 7SEVEN and you will receive 7% off your first order. No, I don’t receive anything from them for sending you their way. They do supply for Amazon, but I have found that going direct with Amazon vendors, either by shooting them an email or calling them they will give generally give me a pretty good deal.

That's exactly what I use mine for and the detail they can get is impressive.

Did you ever get it and try it out?
Wow that battery compressor is pretty amazing I am seriously considering buying one.
Yes it’s a pretty cool unit, I still have to paint a complete artwork with it but all in all it’s pretty awesome 👍🏻
Well handy... thanks for the demo and great content in previous videos !

Awesome thanks for your comment and info 👍🏻
that gsi micron is god level good
Our METU Airbrush compressor is excellent!!! Thanks!

Max 27psi bout to be a problem....
and probably price.. thanks for taking the time to demo
They're really cheap, check the link
Thanks I was wondering if these were worth looking at, thanks 👍👍👍👍

I never realized that it could for such long time with build in battery.
I know it’s pretty awesome 👍🏻
i seen on their web site you can get a kit that comes with an air hose.
This airbrush looks like others I have seen demonstrated and may have a performance mode button on the bottom which allows it to work at a stronger level. Thought you might like to know considering many of these things don’t come supplied with instructions. :)
Thanks for the vid! I recently got this airbrush as a starter and have been digging it. Been curious if it would work with a better airbrush when I'm ready to upgrade.
The black button at the bottom of the compressor adjusts the air flow.
You should try it with the charger connected.
Good videos. One Question: How do you clean the battery powered airbrush?
Looks like it would work good for just priming miniatures.
tried one of these types but couldn't get it to spray nice just wondered how much did you thin your paint
with a charged battery how many hours I work! ?? ..
I would like to know, thanks again for your videos.
hello see you soon, good luck.
45 minutes but it can be used while plugged in
I would like to use the battery/compressor with iwata revolution, but I cant seem to see on pictures online that you can disassemble the air connection for it. Maybe you have one on hand and could check?
Hi. I have the same air brush but don't know how to strip it down correctly to clean. Could you please help? Great channel 👏
So basically if I switch out guns I could possibly get better flow and maybe be possible to spray t shirts??
No, there is no way this would produce enough air pressure to paint shirts. Textile paints such as createx are thick and need a bit more pressure such as 45-55psi. When I used createx in this unit for the purpose of painting shoes I had to thin the paint out considerably.
Great video, thanks!
Just being fuzzy, have you tried connecting the gun to a hose? will it improve handling?
You are a champ!
wow
Sorey i have autolock cordless compressor, very similar your black in video, but i can't unscrew the valve of compressor like you
Any chance we can get a video on long use for the battery-powered airbrush? like on a painting
I haven't actually timed how long mine lasts (seems like a good day of heavy use for sure) but I found if I hook it up to a battery pack I can continue to use it while it charges back up

thank you for the demo! Would it work with a hose?
No as the trigger connects directly to a switch which turns the compressor on and off.
could you make a air brush compressor out of a portable cordless tire air inflator/compressor?
this model, is it possible to open it for future battery replacement? equal an iPhone, the battery is internal, but it is possible to change it by disassembling the device ....
Im thinking about using it on gunpla.
Can the compressor be used with a hose to connect it to the airbrush or only directly connected?

Could you connect a hose so you don't have to hold the compressor?
I have a chrome Aztek, I been using the Aztek for many years. Can I hook up my Aztek to the cordless airbrush?
Damn, just received a Iwata Neo to use as a replacement for the broken brush that came with my battery powered unit and it seems the the pin in the valve is way too short to trigger the compressor.
Yes me too, how s possible we cant u screw the valve on compressor like in video

Did it work? Im thinking of getting this thing for the exact same purpose. Basecoating.
Would this be able to be used with a siphon airbrush
Where can I get the micron?
can you use it while charging
No I don’t think so but that said I haven’t tested that either 🤔 stay tuned as I have an updated model coming soon where you can attach a hose 👍🏻
@@AirbrushAsylum i just ordered the new model with the attachable hose from spray gunner
can i hook up a hose between the can and the airbrush? so i can hold the brush directly without the canister, for better balance, and comfort, and lighter weight, and better control.

@@brianchristie2149 i see. thx, but can it be done?? is what im asking,

@@WickedPaint k thx
@@IronMan-yg4qw it would be good if you could though as it does get a bit hot in the hands after a couple of hours of painting
Paashe airbrush H se puede?
You spry all ,in 1 tank or 2,3 tank pain
There are alternative solution to this on ebay if youre desperate
You adjusting air flow or volume not pressure. Your adjuster is not a pressure regulator.
Amazon: Currently unavailable, unknown when it will be back in stock... Too many returns??
