Portable Airbrush Review - Awesome Product - Casubaris Airbrush Kit - Affordable Full Set-Up

[@pentakacle]

Huh, that's seriously impressive! I did not expect it to work so well! Not to mention how much space you save and the portability of it!

[@teddyjones8027]

Fantastic....Fantastic little system, can't believe how awesome it sprays and for the price you can't beat it. This little system is perfect for someone who is just getting into Airbrushing and not be overwhelmed, or intimidated by the price, size, and complexity of some systems. It's also a great add on for more experienced painters who are wanting an affordable and quality backup.

[@snugglylovemuffin]

That's exactly where I'm at, last time I built a model I was 13 lol. So excited to buy one of these

[@teddyjones8027]

@@snugglylovemuffin AWESOME Welcome back to the hobby friend, soo much has changed since I started building 35 yrs ago. This is by far the best channel, everyone is soo friendly and willing to share tips, tricks, and advice so if you have any questions feel free to ask, with all the subscribers some1 is bound to have the answer 😀 😊

[@Sirmarcavis]

I just wanna say that as someone just starting to get into the hobby, I've really loved your videos. They're very informative, and really help in researching everything that's out there. I love how you do your videos in real time allowing us to see your genuine reaction to things. You can really feel your passion for the hobby which I personally find really encouraging as a newcomer to it. This video in particular has been really helpful. I'm in an apartment setting so when it comes to airbrushing I've been concerned about noise and space really. I think this may end up being my answer. Thank you for all the amazingly enjoyable and informative content!

[@dratsabgawab]

That is the best portable hand held compressor I have seen yet! Really good value for the bundle, too! Thanks again for being so thorough with your testing and reviewing process! It is refreshing and you provide an assurance for the product that no Amazon review/advertisement can.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I'm doing my best, thanks for the feedback

[@dratsabgawab]

@@barbatosrex9473 I would have to say that your best is more than sufficient.

Was not expecting it to be that affordable! I still like how my setup is but this is a great alternative for people who don't or can't have a proper ventilated set up. No excuses! Go paint!

I just bought something like this to stay out of my wife ageo zone.

[@pabloeskabar9611]

😮Bruh😮 4Real-4Real its surprising. As a general contractor I painted the interior of homes and businesses a hundred times. Recently I jumped up on a ladder to help my boy finish an exterior paint job. _Then the wind blew_ 🌬️🖌️ and the dam paint blew off my brush on to a basement window below 😂 the window had previously been sprayed with something to protect it I guess because it came right off but between the wind/sun/shade/rain/moisture/etc... *It's definitely a whole different animal to paint outside*

[@powerwegy]

I'm on it Boss!

[@OnTalyn]

I really like your videos, you show honest real time reactions and with all the experience behind you. I wanted to get a small inexpensive airbrush set up as I’m in an apartment and am only going to be doing a few kits to get started. I have been out of the model making game for years. Based on this video I promptly ordered this kit and look forward to getting into airbrushing.

[@kevinstewart8623]

Great video. I remember 40 years ago using the old testors plastic air brush with the air can😂😂. How times have changed.

[@robinhartley4422]

Excellent product test, i have been thinking of getting one since they came out. I have a very small space to build and paint my models, now with this airbrush combo is perfect for me thanks and keep up the reviews.

[@coloradoracefan3875]

I just got this brush and the portable booth you featured in your other video delivered today . This brought airbrushing within reach for me! I sprayed some spoons with some Tamiya black, I still have some learning to do, but I can already see this is going to be really good. Thanks for finding these and testing them out for us so us low buck people have confidence in what to expect before spending scarce hobby dollars.

[@brianwalker7771]

Great Video. I love the idea of this style of system rattle can level of portability with airbrush control without having to use over priced cans of air.

[@michaeljefferson493]

I’ve been using an earlier version of this kit which didn’t have the removable battery for over a year with my PS-289 and PS-290 GSI Creos airbrushes. The thing is awesome and I have just recently replaced it with a fortress compressor after watching your review.

[@ethanreker3333]

Just ordered mine! Thanks for sharing the knowledge! I was going to purchase a no-name compressor last night but decided to wait for this video :)

[@casuallycompetitivecwiss9321]

I'm still using this compressor! It's what got me into airbrushing. Still works well except it can get a little hot if I use it for too long

[@flagoon]

I bought this airbrush after this review. I was very pleased how it worked, but only when I upgraded to 'real' compressor, I noticed how big a difference it is. This is the perfect airbrush and compressor if you don't know if it's for you, but for me it quite fast showed some issues. Firstly, the compressor is not strong enough, and I had to dilute paints more, I had issues to paint with contrast paints, which were said to be perfect for airbrush. The airbrush was clogging all the time, white primer was unusable, even with heavy dilution. One of batteries 'get loose' and compressor stops working with it, unless I squize it when painting. All of it could be bad luck and faulty product I bought, but after changing to 'proper' compressor, using an airbrush became much better experience. Still, this is perfect to see if airbrushing is for you, and maybe I just had bad luck.

[@teddyjones8027]

I just had to watch this video for a 2nd time because of how fantastic this system really is

[@_Kayla_]

I'm looking to get started with airbrushing and this falls perfectly in my range. Just ordered myself one, now I can go ahead and order my paints/thinners etc and still come in under the $400 it was going to cost me to get a regular setup with a compressor. Absolutely fantastic.

[@douggoins2960]

How did it work for you? I am debating getting one of these myself

[@matthewrice5721]

As of right now (11 Oct 22), Amazon has a 15% off coupon on this item. Not sure how long that'll last. I've been wanting to tinker around with some airbrushing, mainly for priming miniatures, so I've ordered this and we'll see how it goes!

[@snugglylovemuffin]

My man, I am so glad you did this review! I've been looking at buying one because I have very limited space. Thank you!

[@teddyjones8027]

Thank you very much for sharing this amazing little system. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😃 😊

[@ResinBelle]

Love the cleaning tip using the pipette. Good stuff

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend

[@pmatzl]

Just returned to the hobby after many years, and this review hit all the right buttons for me, so I immediately ordered one. I'm super pleased with it, especially for the price. If I ever need more pressure I can just hook up the hose to my "real" compressor, but the portable unit that comes with it works perfectly for the Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics I've sprayed so far. I'm wondering if other tips and needles are available that work with it?

[@gfyracing7632]

This is the system I got started with. I upgraded to a Neo and a bigger compressor. When the compressor failed, I went back to this portable compressor with the Neo to finish the job.

[@chuchuchip]

I have 2 cordless compressors. One hasn't a name, no hose, airbrush screws onto compressor. Gun has a plunger fitting to operate compressor. OK with solvent paints, especially Alclad lacquers. Not very good with acrylic with the 0.3mm needle. I got a 0.5mm needle which improved the guns paint spraying. Acrylic paint finish was not smooth. The other is the "No Name" brand that came with a hose & gun kit. Works much better, seems to push more air & paint though the gun. I tried No Name compressor with a Greos P275, 0.3mm needle. This combo sprayed twice as much of paint at wide open. Left a smooth finish. I bought the 1st one because there is no electric in my garage. It was for touch up jobs on my bicycle. The one Rex is showing in the video is great because multiple batteries is great to have rather than a built in battery. Don't forget to include cleaner spray time in addition to paint time.

[@DIYGarage_SoCal]

Wow! I was not expecting it to work so well! It's in my wish list now!!

[@VideoCesar07]

This was this kind of review I was looking for. I just wanted a portable compressor cause I am gonna be living in a smaller place with not so good insulation and I usually paint late at night. This kit is amazing with all the features it includes. Definitely a good buy for anyone, especially for newcomers to the hobby who might not have too much in term of a budget.

[@jackcarrol9072]

This one is not on German Amazon and UK Amazon won't ship to me here so ordered from US Amazon with higher cost of $109.19 and the week delivery but worth it if its as good as it looks in video. It's the only one I have seen with replaceable batteries and can recharge from my solar when out in the mobile home on trips

[@paulcooke4069]

Trying to source this in the UK. Not on Amazon UK site. Great product

[@ModelMinutes]

An interesting product, might have to look at one for myself for those quick brush jobs

[@ausfoodgarden]

That looks pretty nice. The thing I don't like about most rechargeable airbrushes is having the bulky battery/compressor unit hanging from the airbrush. I might give one of those a go. Cheers!

Couple things; I love your videos and your extensive knowledge. You are my go to for learning all things airbrush.

Have you seen the oasser portable airbrush kit? It comes with a small compressor and a hose. It's $49 which is pretty cheap but it's a workhorse. I have been using it for months now with no issues. You should give it a look would love to hear what you think about it.

[@joshuamurphy4928]

That is a really nice set up. I bought the no name airbrush based of your reviews. I don't have a permanent setup so I have to be able to break everything down to store away until my next session. So is it worth purchasing this set, in your opinion, if I already have the No Name?

[@dwightatnorthernstar1820]

Thanks......Great combo for traveling. How does the compressor handle moisture build up like in an ordinary compressor?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I believe I was told these don't build up moisture based on how they work. You can also put a moisture trap at the end of the hose like on my regular set up

As with any lithium battery, you go past 25% most of the time shortens the battery life by almost half. 50% on a regular basises reduces battery life even more over time. Buy a few more batteries. Use it 25% or less and change out battery charge the first one and so on. They will last for many years if you do it this way. Batteries may out last compressor?

[@markkuhn1297]

Great video as always. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. 1 - This video is about a year old now, so how is the airbrush holding up at this point? 2 - I'm taking an extended break from painting miniatures and getting into plastic 1/24, 1/25 scale car kits. Would this airbrush serve that purpose well enough? 3 - Most of the paints I currently own are matte paints, acrylic, mostly Pro Acryl and Citadel. Can I use those to paint a car body and, when they're dry, spray it with a clear gloss coat? Thanks for your time.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I gave it to a friend and it's still running well. It will work for car kits no problem. I personally use lacquers or enamels for car kits, Tamiya Acrylics. But you can use the craft store paints and you do have to put a clear gloss on top. Be sure to put down a primer before spraying the craft paints

[@markkuhn1297]

[@brianfrazier5783]

I've been using my Iwata CN NEO in both trigger and button valve for a few years now and I'm getting better every day. I need an airbrush with a 0.2mm or smaller needle for painting some minis. Sure, I would love to get an H&S but $$ is really an issue for me as a retired person. What airbrush would you suggest $50-$75 for what I'm looking for? Hey; by the way, I'm a fellow Rhode Islander born and raised in Bristol before I relocated to (Bristol) Vermont 15-16 years ago... I love the fact that I can listen to your accent and really feel like I'm at home listening to an ol' buddy.

[@BearBrush]

Super cool, using the hose is good for a more steady air pressure flow, the hose adds a buffer. You mention cleaning your airbrush with Windex, I'd suggest you don't unless it's ammonia free. The ammonia in Windex will eventually eat the chrome on the internals and ruin the airbrush .

[@barbatosrex9473]

That's what I have here,, ammonia free. But the regular one is fine in moderation, you'd have to use aot of it to have an effect

[@TheBattleRabbit860]

Barbatos, my good sir, thank you for this video. I have been looking to get into airbrushing but didn't know where to start. I think this has answered my question. I have one more question, I am also looking to buy an airbursh hood, and all of the ones I see have a long tube for a vent. Does that exhaust tube need to go out a window? Or is it just to being the exhaust away from me? If it does need to go out a window, will it leave a residue on a metal screen?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes they usually go out of a window for ventilation. My window doesn't have a screen where the exhaust goes out but I do imagine you might get some build up. You can also run the exhaust tube inside a large cardboard box and fill it with rags. My friend puts scented cat litter on the bottom of the box. Also check out my video for an inexpensive spray booth set up. That might help you too

[@juanmedinar20]

I bought the nice harbor freight air sprayer and I had to return it because I kept getting water splatter when trying to paint outside. I wonder if this will work better because of the shorter hose or using no hose at all. Also it may run cooler than the harbor freight unit.

for this kinds of hand held portable airbrush kit,we dont suggest to use it continuousely more than 5 minutes,better use it 3mins and stop a while,and later go on,this is to protect the motor,and meanwhile avoid hot
