- In this video I talk about the hummingbird mini direct drive machine and how it compares to the bishop micro Angelo. I hope you enjoy my little tirade.
Link to machine www.hummingbir...
Love your vid. Always looking for better price with good quality. Tattooing 40 years now and use the cheapest machines with decent quality always. I support your vid lol.
I bought this machine and it works perfect. I used it about 8 hours straight with no problems. I did start out with my cord cover over it and it got hot, so don’t cover up the motor.
Any updates on the machine?
Still going strong
@@billwilliamson3031 any updates on the machine now? after 1 years of use..2020
Husen Maharjan Still a good machine, however I use their bronc V7 pen style machine with jet jetpack batteries. Batteries from ezgripz in the USA
@@billwilliamson3031 still going strong?
Wooow brother...thank you so much for the video and your honesty........ bravissimo...
I like the pens better just saying I love my hummingbird bronc V7 its lines better then my Zion from fk irons and this guy is keeping it so real hummingbird bronc mad respect for what they put out I only use there equipment just got the power supply that's super dope as well I definitely wont ever buy from another company complete fan of their tattoo equipment they make the best in my opinion just keeping it 💯 with everyone I have been tattooing for about 10 years and they are great for real thanks for the video.
I almost make the mistake of buying the Bronc V10 until I read sombody wrote that this rotary is better for lining. Thanks !!!!
hey! after 2months whats ur opinion about this machine doing lines? does it works well or not? what's the biggest group of needles (rl) have u used??
I'm trying to find one of these atm....really like the ideas behind this setup
Ordered an even cheaper direct drive from them like $60 & it is incredible!!! Super precise, smooth & solid machine, but the chuck/adapter was a lil weird to get used to. Their customer service is the best. I highly recommend. Their clear grommets are amazing too.
Tanya Pineda I don’t like that direct drive only because of the motor is not a quality Swiss motor like the others
I dunno... I'm loving that machine even more than the mini pen so far, it's not the "mini direct drive" tho. Maybe it has a different motor, coz it's great.
Tanya Pineda the direct drive you have has a Japan motor
@@TheBeardedTattooer Is that different from the one you have? Coz seriously is awesome so far
No wonder I like it...nihongo ga dekimasu lol. (I speak Japanese)
How'd it work out with larger liners?
No grommet, no rubberband!?...lol at the rate innovations are going with machines we will be waving our hands next n the tattoos will just appear, I love it!
Love the poster behind you
LAST CHANCE TATTOO thanks bro
You think the plunger in the cartridge needles takes too long to retract, where it is noticeably slower than a standard bar needle?
I'm a new subscriber, that looks great , never used one.gonna check out their site and your other videos.Thank you!!!👍
Is flydragon not hummingbird...Is the same?
The MicroAngelo does have the Grove to slip the needle in without needing a grommet tho. I just slip the needle on on mine. Don't need notning else.
Can you get replacement parts for this. Like the magnetic piece?
Would you recommend this over the dragon hawk ex-2 for a first machine? I’d like to do some heavy line traditional pieces
What type of needles do you use. The ex2 isn’t great with cartridges. So you’d need more than one machine for a full tattoo. This machine can use both. So use cartridges with it and it can do everything you need. Plus it’s cheap price wise. You can’t beat it.
@@TheBeardedTattooer im willing to work with either needle types. Im looking for a machine that will give me the best luck as a beginner. what do you think?
Hey Adam, how much voltage do you put on it for lining?
U should try the 4.2 for lining
I wish it was 4.0 instead of 4.2
whats the thing with 4.2? it's good for lining
theo azevedo yes it is great for lining
Hes alll looking over your Shoulder lol
Been a while since you posted this video. So I was wondering what does this machine excel at... Kinda pros and cons. If you've had a chance to put in work with it?
Anthony Henley sorry it took so long to respond. It lines and packs color great shading depends on you since there is no give it all depends on you hand techniques. If you are used to using a machine with no give it’s great. If you are use to a machine like the dragonfly or the stigma prodigy eat. Then it will be difficult.
Does hummingbird sell to anyone or do u have to have your license or be in a shop.. I want a couple of these but I do not want to go to a shop I have been doing ok on my own. But I have shitty machines trying to upgrade soon very soon lol
TheFatboi86 hmmm. I believe they sell to anyone whose a legit tattoo artist. I’ve not asked them. But when I purchase them they haven’t asked where I worked or anything so I assume not.
TheFatboi86 you can purchase them
Thank you sir.. 👍 I am hoping to get a couple in the next few weeks
Where did you buy the grip from?
I bought one, and I wonder How much voltage do you put for lining? Cause I struggle with it...
florian mallet around 8.5
@florian mallet how’s the machine holding up? Can it work all day?
how much does it weight?
What machine would you recommend between this machine the (mini) or the hummingbird V3 ?? Pros and cons, why or why not would highly be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I own a bishop microangelo btw, and I love the machine but I'm having problems with the tension. I normally use an o-ring but even now with or w/out the o-ring the needle has play because the tension is off. With that said I'm looking for something that has keeps my needle more stable. That's how I came back to the hummingbird. I'm assuming that I shouldve tried 1 of these machines before spending around $500 for a bishop. I have put in a lot of hours on the machine but I still think something is up with it so I'm going to send it in for repair. Meanwhile I need a good machine to push me through..
The Network depends on your style of tattooing what is your main style. I’ll go in depth I promise but I gotta know what you tattoo like mostly
@@TheBeardedTattooer thank you for your time and I'm more on the black and grey realism spectrum but I'm great at color and coverups as well as script lettering.. I have 8 years in and pretty much started as a coil artist. Most of my machines are coil but recently I went back to rotary. Yes, I say went back because I have used rotary before. But ultimately went back to coil. And more recently started back into rotary (bishop microangelo) I just feel my hand gets shit done faster with coils. But I can see that my bishop rotary is causing a lot less skin trauma when it's running properly. I must add that I just made a transition into steel tubes, yesterday after writing this inquiry. I've ALWAYS used disposable EVERYTHING but I had a strong gut feeling this microangelo would probably run smoother with a steel tube and sure enough i ran the machine with the steel tube and it ran beautiful!! That said I'm a certified artist and understand the sterilization process in depth so I was just waiting to get all of my tools together. I have an autoclave as well so I'm thinking of even going into steel tips. But idk man I feel like the steel tips would be good to line with, maybe use standard needles with a steel setup to line. And then use disposable cartridge mags to shade and even line if necessary. I'm just so accustomed to disposable materials that I'm a lil picky about the steel setup..
@@TheBeardedTattooer and I know it's all based on preference or style. But what would you say are the pros and cons between the hummingbird you displayed in this video. Which I believe is the Mini. And the hummingbird V3? I definetley dont like the V2..so I feel like its between the mini direct drive or the v3. Idk if both machines have an interchangeable or adjustable CAM or stroke but any information like that would be helpful. I almost feel like the v3 would be the upgraded or new(er) version of the mini. But I havent found any reviews really supporting that.
The Network first off you’re welcome. I try to answer all questions as quickly as I am capable. 2nd. I agree with lining with a standard needle. I only occasionally use steel tubes and it’s def only when I line. I use carts to do my pepper style shading or color or any other application. Now about the machines. The v3 is very versatile. But it can only use carts, you cannot change the stroke length, and there is no give mechanism so you have to use your hand speed and hand movement to shade. Same with the mini direct. It has no give. But it does have a changeable stroke length (3.7 and 4.2) and it can use standard needles and cartridge needles. They are both great machines but the mini direct is only 100$. And I believe it can do what the v3 can and more. If you prefer using both standard and carts like myself you can use the mini direct for both. Or you can use the v3 for carts and another machine for lining. That’s what I do as of today. I use the v3 for my shading and either a cool liner or the dragon hawk extreme ex 2 for lining. I really hope this is understandable and it helps. If you have any other questions I’m here.
@@TheBeardedTattooer dude excuse my French but you're f$%*ing awwsome!! I really like how you broke it down and based on experience and everything I've gathered as far as information you've provided and other sources I feel like the Mini is the 1 for me and what I do daily. I feel like I need 2 seperate machines. I'll probably get the Mini and do some clean crisp line work with it. And continue to use my bishop to shade. I'm just waiting for bishop to get back up and running so I can send my machine in to get serviced. But that leaves me with 1 last question I believe. How is the Mini in color packing?! Since it has no give I assume it's just as good as my hand?! Again bro. Thank you for your time and keep putting out great content. Much respect from LA🤙🏼
Do you have an Axys Fehu direct drive/ can you do a review video if so?
Tanya Pineda did you get the axys if so how is it ??
I decided to order both a mini pen & a direct drive from Hummingbird actually. The reviews are just too consistently good to not give them a try. They were both on sale & the pen included 5 boxes/100 cartridges too. I will post as soon as they arrive & I get a chance to use them both. Already customer service has been impressive, I asked a question about the direct drive with my order because it looked like it had both rca & clipcord options (it's rca only btw). They responded right away & were super considerate.
I am still smitten with the Fehu though & if I order it I will post a review.
Your audio is very low....😁
Was that 1st tube a disposable one with steel or plastic? What brand is that? The grip looks so comfortable. Nice lil machine for $100.
Tanya Pineda they’re not the best they’re from eztat2
Thank you & just curious what do you like/ not like about them? A review video of a bunch of different brand toss a tubes & grip tapes would be really cool, now that there are so many to choose from. Please consider doing one.
The bishop has a swiss Motor same as this ??
Zack White the bishop has a maxon motor witch is a slight step above
Does this line well ?
Zack White yes it does
Thanks
Does this machine require any lubricant ?
No
Thanks
Way bigger than the microangelo
artattack jack no it isn’t
I prefer cartridges
Mine took a shit colorpacking for 20 mins hahahahahaha. Like the motor became super super weak barely able to push a 9rm and wasn’t my power supply
Don’t have one
Do you even tattoo?
BACON FPV yes I do
@@TheBeardedTattooer do you have any videos of you tattooing? I have this DD tattoo machine and love it.
BACON FPV no I want to record one but it’s hard I need to get someone to do it or find a better tripod so it’s not like right in my way while tattooing.
@@TheBeardedTattooer wear a gopro
this company suck and doesn't even ship anything at all they say no shipping options their phone doesn't work I am sooo upset that I believed in this company at all
Kennedy Moore Jr. what site were you using and where were you trying to send it. Because I just went to the site and it’s running and shipping just fine.
Adam_M_ Tattooing hey thanks for replying i was using the hummingbird website when i went to purchase several items it says no shipping options available ☹️
Adam_M_ Tattooing hey i guess it was a temperary problem had been trying for 2 hours but seems to work now
thank u wanted to ask isnt it crazy that it only cost 100 dollars and it has great reviews the direct swiss motor is something i cant wait to get my hands on
Kennedy Moore Jr. I’m just glad it’s working cuz I haven’t had problems ever. Hope you love the machine.
