This is the one I have, and others here do, too:

"air bags" -- you mean like Firestone Ride-Rite? Yes...though I find a hand-pump more convenient since the volume of a bag is so small -- only takes a few pumps.

Here are some mods for the MV50, for those who can't leave things alone...
I did them and it helps.

I picked up an MV50 from Summit Racing before our spring trip to Vermillion Cliffs. So far it has worked awesome. We can now air up our tires from 20 to 40 psi in 2-3 minutes per tire. It makes airing down and up when necessary a no brainer.
