What happened
Hong Kong-based outdoors company Outzac has launched a Kickstarter project for the Beam Pump, a compact, lightweight device that serves as both a mini electric pump for inflatables and a camping lantern. Weighing just 78 grams and measuring about 3.5 inches long, the pump offers fast inflation—taking under 65 seconds to inflate typical sleeping pads without manual effort.
The device includes six interchangeable nozzles, making it compatible with most outdoor inflatables like sleeping pads and kayaks. It also features reverse airflow to remove air from storage bags, shrinking their volume by up to 85%. The Beam Pump has an IPX4 rating for water resistance and can operate in temperatures as low as -10°C, making it durable for a variety of camping conditions.
Why it feels good
Outdoor gear lovers will appreciate how the Beam Pump addresses a common pain point: pumping up sleeping pads without the breathless exertion or the bulk of heavy electric pumps. Its lightweight design and rapid inflation capability mean hikers can save energy and time, making the camping setup process much easier and more enjoyable.
The lantern function adds cozy ambiance with warm light set at 3800 kelvin, adjustable through four brightness levels. Its impressive battery life of up to 50 hours on low light keeps the tent illuminated throughout the night, while the USB-C recharge feature means the pump can be powered up conveniently on the go.
What to enjoy or watch next
For anyone gearing up for trekking, camping, or kayak trips, the Beam Pump’s versatile features provide a valuable upgrade to standard single-use tools. Beyond camp use, the device can even function as a fire starter blower or a cleaner for small electronics, making it handy year-round.
Supporters can pledge for early Bird pricing on Kickstarter starting at $32 with planned retail around $59, shipping forecasted for October. Optional decorative shades turn the pump into a cheerful accent piece, extending its appeal beyond camping seasons and into home use.
