Looks like it is designed to fill guns and not tanks.

 

[intenseaty22]

Looks that way. I wouldn’t mind having one of these. It’s priced better than the others I think. Just worry about QC, the AV Booster I had sucked. 

 

[Chachoze]

Looks similar to Crosmans new compressor, even dual power source.

 

[cahil_2]

My shoebox f10 does a great job.

 

[MScottLeeman]

This seems like a good thing. If it turns out to be reliable,count me in! I have a feeling things will only get better,just like flat screen tv's that used to be priced above many budgets...or any Other hi-tech goods,for that matter.

Seems like it fills pretty slow to me.. Carbon fiber tanks 0-4500 17 min? Guess it’s okay, wish they filled faster at this price point. 

 

[DeutschKSK]

Whoops, read it wrong.. 490cc and lower fill pressure

"DeutschKSK"Seems like it fills pretty slow to me.. Carbon fiber tanks 0-4500 17 min? Guess it’s okay, wish they filled faster at this price point.

Even so, no one really fills from Zero while in the field. I see this as something that you take with you in your car. Will probably fill 3K to 4.5K in 7 minutes? To me, that’s pretty usable.

Getting down to a price point I can live with. I don't care that it's slow. Only question is if it will fill the bottle. I can do that in my "spare" time and shoot it down. Very interesting.

Oop. Just read the rest. Not recommended for tank fill. No interest for me. I'm sure it will be popular though.

Is it just me or do other guys see Chinese handiwork here coupled with some marketing rebranding and a price point at least double the actual mechanical and intrinsic value of the sum of these assembled parts.

Of course this is a "niche" specialty hobby and commands a premium for it's toys and components....but pricing on this unit, [airgun accessories guns and pellets (ones worth buying)] have gotten out of hand....

The $500 price point just pisses me off rather than boost my enthusiasm...at $300...yeah I'll suck it up...at $500 I'm just not gonna grab my ankles for the convenience of airing up my gun with the hood of my truck open...

Just hard to see where this fits in at that price point. Sure it's capable of filling guns in the field, but seems it does it very slow. Just can't see the advantage to this over a CF tank with the compressor options available today. Would rather fill my gun quickly from my tank and get back to shooting than wait on this expensive piece of filling equipment to fill my gun in the field.

Mrodair sells a similar unit (this is the lowest price); I believe, all three are manufactured from the same Chinese factory.

The real purpose, at least for me is for a trip. I actually plan on getting one for a Abert's squirrel hunt this fall. There will probably be 3-5 shooters and I am certain my tank will run dry before the trip is over and bringing my compressor or finding a fill station may not be an option. While we are in camp, we will use the portable compressor for practice and target shoot while trying to save the tank for the field. I will most likely get a smaller tank for backpacking as well

I personally see it as being useful. For one thing, I believe in redundancy when it comes to some things like this. If your compressor tanks out and needs repairs, you are SOL. This would get you through. 
I think it could be cheaper, $300 is about right. The only hesitation I have is QC and access to service. My AV booster was a POS. 

 

[T3PRanch]

I think all the influx of these dual power slow fill compressors could be potentially aimed at the widespread adoption by state game departments of airgun hunting. Big Bore Airguns are hungry and these devices preclude the cost of repeated fills and periodic maintenance of a bottle / fill assembly for similar pricing as well as providing a "safer" alternative than stored bottles in areas of dense population. These devices are meant to be adopted by new converts and not those of us who have already adjusted to the "old" fill paradigm.
Just my 2 zinc cents!

You make a great point with this comment. Great perspective. I reiterate, my only concern is QC, albeit Pyramid/AD stood behind the product (booster) Serviced x1, and when that did not work out, they refunded purchase. Thanks Thurmond.

Does anyone know what power supply for 110v does it use?

AV Nomad wont be available till June, so I grabbed one straight from China, but it does not come w power supply.

Is there any descriptive data label attached the unit that you purcahsed it self that might give any information on the power requirements. If you could post a picture of it, I know of someone here who might be able to translate it from Chinese.

 

[T3PRanch]

A salvaged PC power supply should run one of these little units just fine.

Thurmond

 

[escknx]

Nope there is no label with specs.
But.. being able to translate eastern-european languages, and using russian segment of Youtube, I figured out that it needs 12V 30A power supply.

So yea, any real 360W 12v power supply will do the trick.
