Air Pressure Gauge for Airbags

What people use to check the pressure in their Airbags like Airlift or Firestone?
Looking to find good reliable pressure gauge which also reasonably priced.
Suspension Airbags like Airlift or Firestone are designed to have 5psi in "not-in-use" condition and up to 35 psi for "load-support" condition. What I 've been finding that general Tire Pressure Gauges, 60psi or 100psi versions, are relatively have low accuracy in lower pressure. Therefore I was interesting what people using around...

I put a set of Airlift bags on my T4R about a year ago and intended to be diligent about maintaining that min PSI. I first considered a handheld ARB unit but don’t air down/up ever outside of ensuring 34 PSI per tire monthly, so the ROI wasn’t there.

I ordered this gauge but didn’t love it because it was inconsistent when reading <10 PSI. The rear of mine starts to get pretty stiff >=10 PSI when unloaded so I like to float 6-8 PSI, necessitating gauge accuracy <10.

I started looking again and found this one. Struck me as a little wimpy as compared to the classic “stick” version my old man taught me to use growing up, but this digital one had good reviews and appeared to meet my goal of accuracy <10 PSI by offering readings of .1 PSI increments. I’ve used probably five different other gauges to test this digital one’s accuracy and never found a bad reading from it.

Had it a year now and wouldn’t change a thing.

Edit: I see your original post was about a month ago, hope the above is still helpful or that you’ve since found one.

Still looking for one...
Many reviews I'm reading are stating that at low range accuracy goes out, same as you found, and at that range of 4 - 8 psi are critical for comfort and logetivity of the bags (bags are recommended to be inflated to 5 psi when vehicle is unloaded).
