Omega Trail Charger

[mark2cars]

Anyone out there have any experience with this compressor. It fits well within my budget. I can spend up to $1200 if necessary however that will leave nothing for any filters etc. They are currently on sale (but out of stock) at AOA for $799. Thoughts ? Thanks in Advance !!

Look at compressors on optic planets site! They have best priced Hatsan lightning.

I've been eyeballing the trail charger too but I haven't come across a whole lot of feedback on it yet. I'm hoping it's a happy middle ground between the spark type compressors and the larger lightning style.

I am dancing on the edge today. Compressor technology/features seems to change monthly. The price point is hard to ignore.

Ekim....I also wonder where the feedback is on the Trail Charger. AOA told me yesterday that they sold out of their initial order of 100 in 30 days !!! Trail Charger owners give us a shout out !!

For a little more you can get the hatsan lighting for $1093 free shipping. It's way faster than the Omega charger. I believe Omega charger fills same rate as the spark and nomad which is really slow.

I've considered the hatsan and other larger compressors as well but I'd be willing to give up faster fills for portability provided it is still reliable compared to their bigger brothers. I don't have any big tanks and would be filling the gun directly or a buddy bottle at most. Like most things, I don't expect the cheaper models to rival the more expensive options but more of a good value for the dollar type of scenario.

I looked at the Lighting however it's almost $300 more than the Trail Charger. The way I use air it should be more than sufficient for me. I fill a Mutant Shorty/72 cu inch carbon bottle and two Crosman pistols. At $800 if it works for three or four years I will be doing the happy dance !! The portability is a plus. Also the fact that it will fit easily under my bench is a plus. Darren at AOA says the end of the month. He put me on the list.

I have tried for 4 months to get this omega. I finally gave up and bought the nomad ii 3 weeks ago perfectly happy with this one and now I am glad tjey gave mr the run around on the omega because it tells me the support would not have been there for us.

I bought an Omega Trail Charger. It checked all of the boxes for me. I just received my refund from returning it. It might have been just my unit but it failed on the fifth fill. There are some definite good points to this compressor but overall it did not work out for me. I plan on giving my opinion/review on it after I return from vacation. Sorry if this leaves anyone hanging - it is just a heads up and I want to take the time to do a better explanation.

That definitely doesn't leave me hanging. You may have just saved me an expensive head ache. I look forward to your review !

I also took another route and ordered an Omega Air Charger. I really did not need the portability of the TC. The Air Charger is working out very well. It took my 68ci Omega Carbon Fiber bottle from 2000 psi to 4500 psi in 51 mins. It's pretty quiet ....you can have a conversation w/o shouting standing right by it. AOA has a great deal on these....make sure you talk to Darren at ext. 101. Best of luck.

Thank you for posting the link. I was hoping someone would. I can deal with most anything mechanical but tech escapes me.
