This air pump is tiny. I placed a pen next to it so you can see just how small it is.
It comes in a pouch containing the pump and accessories.
Our Review
Here's a little gadget I bought from Amazon, and after taking it on a few camping trips, I've been impressed.
This mini air pump is ideal for that last bit of puff into your self-inflating camping mats.
It's a small, rechargeable, mini air pump. It's ideal for the last bit of inflation for Self-inflating Mats.
I've not tested it on a full-size air bed, but it worked fine on our massive 16cm Outwell Dreamboat.
It inflated this massive 16cm self-inflating mat, and went on to do another, and still had plenty of power left in it.
Just how small?
This weighs just 60 grams and is only 5 cm high.

It's a lantern too
A light (2 brightness modes plus a red flashing mode) is on the underside. On the top is a small handle with a small clip in the kit.
Everything you need to turn it into a tent lantern when you've finished inflating your beds.
Accessories
It has a small pouch containing the pump, charging cable, and different inflation adapters.

It recharges with a USB-C connection. A charging cable is in the kit.
It comes with this set of adapters. The clear one is rubber, which worked well on the old Outwell SIM valves.
Flextail Alternative?
Another small pump is popular from the brand Flextailgear - which is often just called "Flextail".
They make several mini-pumps. However, when searching on Amazon for one, I found this AKSOUL alternative, which was smaller and cheaper. 👍
How does the Flextail tiny-air pump compare to the ultralight AKSOUL mini-air pump?

I don't think you could go wrong with either mini-pump. However, I tried this Flextail alternative, and it's proved good so far. 😀
