Prophecy - On/Off and Electronics programming

[MrShammerle]

hey men i dont understand because i dont know how to down the balls with sound?????

[LoganDM9paintball]

i bought me prophecy and the buttons are kinda sticking so i have to take off the back plate to change my modes can anyone tell me how i can fix this? or can i send it to empire and they can fix it?

[paintballxguy]

can anyone explain to me what RF and like sound sensitivity deal and motor sensing?

[NEXTGENFILMZ]

simon im liking this video you're very helpful i just want to ask you a question, since i just bought this hopper, i was wondering how i can make it run and just empty out the hopper for per se a drop test. can u please help me? thank you.

[manike99]

@NEXTGENFILMZ Drop tests are the least accurate way to guage a loaders performance. It's much better to put it on a gun with ramping or FA to see it's full potential. The prophecy is specifically designed to slow down to help balls feed when it doesn't encounter a full stack. This leads to a misrepresentation of it's capability when trying to perform a "drop test".

Some loaders work better in a drop test than they do on a gun, and some work better on a gun than they do in a drop test.

[Klim0009]

I feel your pain, I am color blind too. I am nit red green though, I just can't tell a difference between similar colors.

[Klim0009]

Hey man, I feel your pain. I am color blind too.

[obnoxiousballers]

what does it mean when a red light blinks when you turn on the loader but then goes to green? and when i shoot it also turns red. what does that mean?

[manike99]

@obnoxiousballers That means that motor sensing is turned on and working properly. After everytime that the motor sensing works it flashes a quick red on the LED.

The constant green flash tells you the loader is on and the batteries are good.

[PaintballReveiws]

hOW do i turn off rf?

[SkilledProductions1]

Nice job man!

[manike99]

@benbakerbitch I am "built to scale" :D

[MiniPsychoCircus]

@manike99 Whats an RF signal.  Please help.Thanks.

[manike99]

@MiniPsychoCircus RF Stands for Radio Frequency. It's a signal the loader can receive if you install a Radio Frequency transmitter into your gun.

[littledrummerboy96]

it looks like the guy from the movie super size me :D

[bdcbean]

Yep.. batteries. I am guessing someone put these back in the packet so they looked new. Bought some top quality ones, she spins awesome. :D

[manike99]

@bdcbean

Glad we got your issue fixed. :)

It's amazing how often "brand new" batteries are crap right out of the packaging. It happens all the time.

It is always best to buy good quality brand name batteries. I prefer E-Lithiums, they are expensive, but lightweight and last way longer. Then Energizer and Duracell's.

[bdcbean]

@manike99

Awesome thanks for the help, most appreciated.

[bdcbean]

I see yours is flashing "red" when on, in the manual it says it should flash "green"

I put new batteries in my Prophecy and it also flashes "red" when on. What's the deal??

[manike99]

@bdcbean

Constantly Flashing red means bad batteries.

If it just flashes red after you shoot then that is ok, and means the motor sensing is on and working.

Are you using new brand name batteries? Are they all the correct way around?

[bdcbean]

@manike99

Thanks for the quick reply.

It flashes red when not firing, "bad batteries" warning.

New name brands out of the packet. Double checked that they were installed correctly.

Bought the loader second hand..

Should I try some different batteries or is there another problem causing this?

[paintballer2895]

thanks so much this helped alot!!!!!!!!!

[abdulios]

wow that seems a little complicated, but then again it is very high technology, probably ;)

[weedisanecessity]

i thought the prophecy was so complicated to program which had me torn between this or the rotor and i was a little reluctant on buying the prophecy but this video made it seem so easy to program im definately getting this loader now

[p8tballin007style]

what are the stock settings for the prophecy?

[manike99]

We actually just changed them slightly.

Stock settings used to be 3,3,2,2

Now its 4,5,2,1

[P8NTBALLER987]

this video is complicated. but because of your videos, i will be getting the prophecy. thanks alot simon

[manike99]

It's hard to show it in the video, but this loader is easier to program than any Halo B or Reloader B loaders from the past.

Thanks for your support. :)

[dirtbeast937]

its nice that simon goes out of his way to make videos supporting his product. His videos are why i am going to buy a prophecy over the rotor and the pinokio. Good job simon.

[manike99]

Thanks. :)

[PaintballLBSDXS]

hey simon uh i dont want to offend u but ru really color bilnd?.......... o also i support u on the mini people just dont understand them and assume that there is a problem but my only complaint is that it only goes 20bps and not to brag but it cant keep up with my fingers and that is true cause i had my fingers analyzed and the lab said there were 22.3 trigger pulls in one second :)

[andisblue]

Just wear your kryptonite ring to slow down your power!!

ps - Helpful video manike - I recognized your user name from pbn.

[ldimillo19]

im not flaming but im just wondering where in the hell did you get your fingers analyzed? i didnt know places did that. again not flaming, i do believe that you can do 22 but where did you get them analyzed

[manike99]

Yes, I am red green colourblind.

[PaintballLBSDXS]

oh, i am sorry to hear that i hope it doesnt affect your life

[RickyM20102011]

me too!

[ppackingnegro]

why do so many minis have problems ??

[manike99]

What problems do you mean? Very few mini's have problems.

[ppackingnegro]

me and 4 of my friend got minis and ALL of them FUCKED UP and mine was the solenoid and now we all of other guns i have ego 08 my buddy has a vice my other buddy grabbed a slg and next was a etek and all the minis were sold dirt cheap actually i kinda want my money back it was just man THEY ALL ARE

[manike99]

Please watch your language on my channel. There is no need for cussing.

What was wrong with the guns?

Did you try contacting paintball solutions for help?

Normally problems with the mini are caused by the users not knowing the gun so well and are very simple and easy to fix. KEE has a great warranty program and puts a lot of effort into helping customers via paintball solutions.

[ppackingnegro]

they just were bad markers man all the refs everywere i go talk s**t about them and after a week of useing the marker it c**ped out it was sad i did get it fixed then i sold it immediately because of everyone saying they were a terrible marker and everyone having problems with theres

[shocker426]

how much is an rf chip for a gun

[Russownsyou1]

Does the rf-chip come with the prophecy?

[manike99]

The Prophecy loader board has it built in, but you need the transmitter chip for your gun.

[paintballcrew911]

is the manga rf chip the one you use for the prophecy

[manike99]

Yes it is.

[cyclone009000]

is there gonna be a speed gate for it yet? or are you going to make one?

[manike99]

There already is one. It's released already too.

It's called the "Empire Quick Load Lid".

[empireprophecy]

is the black prophecy mildly translucent or is it an opaque black cause i want to see my paintballs. which one are you holding

[manike99]

If you want to see the paintballs then you should get the 'smoke' version of the loader.

[xbox7779]

help prophecy is broken it flashed a solid blue and now wont work new batteries and everything

[manike99]

Blue means it is running on RF and now waiting for an RF signal.

If you aren't using RF go into the menu and change the blue (RF) setting to just one flash to turn off the RF functionality.

[timfishdude]

I have play paintball for 1 time and now I will buy the pmr 09 and a cp airtank(48ci 4500psi).But I don't know wath I should choose the empire magna,the dye rotor or the empire prophecy(I want also shoot with reballs).

[SpenceAi0]

You cannot use a rotor with reballs, according to Dye's manual.

[andrew123245]

yeah you can it just says not too watch mikes vid

[xbox7779]

i know i took it to my local proshop and he said there was something wrong with the board and he ordered a new one

[tecfreakdvd]

Mike this is Nicholas from Barbados. Do you guys have dvds on Empire tec stuff.

[manike99]

my name is Simon, my nickname is manike. We have DVD's on a lot of Empire stuff, but we don't yet on the Prophecy.

We do on the Magna and soft goods.

[demonicpaintball]

*simon*ized..

[crisp1994]

whats is the max bps i need to know because i like the prophecy better than the rotor but i dont know bps on the prophecy. please tell me?

[HeyImChinese]

the rotor has a high bps drop rate but the on gun feed rate isnt impressive at all.

[DARQMX]

Simon, What is motor Sensing for?

[manike99]

Making the loader drive as consistently as possible, and turning off the motor when the ball stack is loaded to reduce force on the paint, and to conserve batteries. :)

[BarronRulz]

Ok and one more question with the RF thing on the loader i know you need a transmitter but does RF transmitters fit on every gun? Cause i never used them and dont know if they work on my PMR cause i am getting a prohecy

[manike99]

They will work on every gun. With some guns you can just unplug the solenoid and plug in the transmitter wiring harness. With some other guns you need to solder it in line with the solenoid and you should get a good tech to do that for you if you don't know how.

With the PMR, I *think* you can just plug it in but I haven't checked a PMR in a while.

[BarronRulz]

does this loader have eyes in the feed neck so where it will only turn if there is not a ball in the neck?

[manike99]

The standard loader doesn't have eyes int he feedneck.

It only turns when the gun fires though. It doesn't run all the time. You don't even notice it running as it only runs when the gun's shooting.

[angus1wit1a1tippmann]

Hi Simon. I am colorblind and I am wondering if this is LED and if you have a non LED version of the prophecy? Or maybe a kit? Thanks, Stephen.

[manike99]

Hi Stephen,

I'm red/green colour blind too. We are working with aftermarket guys to make a very cool board that will help you, but ultimately I don't think it's much of an issue.

The stock settings work perfectly for everything from ultra evil paint to reballs. You don't need to see an LED to see if the loader is on or off, the switch position does that for you.

Also even if you can't see the colours (can you see blue?) you can still work out the setting from how many times the LED flashes.

[doomaster13]

how is this going to compare to the pinokhio and dye rotor?

[pballaShado]

well you see it looks way sicker than the others i have no idea with speed and it worx great with reballs idk its wayy better than the rotor or pinokio imo from every vid on it i have seen

[xtreampaintball]

but people do like to see thoose so will you do one>?

[xtreampaintball]

i have yet to see a free fall test with the prophecy with real paintballs and reballs

[manike99]

That's because drop tests don't mean anything in real life.

What's far more important is performance on the gun. That's the only tests that have value and mean something.

[Paintballer4L1F3]

is this sound activated?

[jonathanm50]

Do you need to buy something special for your gun to work with RF, like a chip for your gun or something. If so, can you show me a link to one that would work with the prophecy???

[manike99]

You can use the Magna RF link system that we released with the Magna Loader.

[eternetytenrete]

This thing is like a BMW or Landrover of hoppers. I actually proposed a magnetic clutch back when paintball was really popular, but my friends thought I was silly. Sadface. Simon, you stole my idea!

But really, I have some technical questions for Simon. Anyone know where I can e-mail him, or if he is readily available for a few questions?

[manike99]

Funnily enough, I used to work for both BMW and Landrover!

Please post your questions up and if I can answer them, I will.

Thanks

[TAYLORatDPB]

What is the range of numbers that you use to program the prophecy. If you already answered the question in a previous video sorry.

[manike99]

Motor can go from 1-6, Sound can go from 1-6, Motor sensing can be off or on (1-2), RF can be off or on (1-2)

Stock settings are 3,3,2,2

[drollin14]

definetly waiting for one of these, i was gonna get the rotor but nah this looks better

[ScorchingCold14]

so is it only rf at first? and do you need the wire for the gun to work rf then?

[manike99]

It's Sound activation OR RF at first.

You need a gun transmitter to use the RF functionality.

[joeyjoe0513]

can you make a video of it liKE ON A HIGH END GUN TO SEE HOW IT KEEPS UP AND HOW IT LOOKS ON THE GUN... OHH AND ARE TOU POSITIVE THESE LOADERS WONT HAVE PROBLEMS THAT YOU GUYS AT EMPIRE HAVE TO MAKE A NEW VERSION FOR.. LIKE WHEN THE VELOCITY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CHIP

[eternetytenrete]

He puts it on a BL marc or w/e. IDK if that's high end enough : P

[weshootlong]

looks like a combination of halo or reloader b and vlocity the body looks more like the halo/reloader and the lid look and on off settings are like vlocity.

[vsb4ever]

Great job on the loader but it clearly looks like you borrowed ideas from the vlocity lid and toggle switch

[jefallijay]

how gay to come out with another loader looking like the reloader b and halo

[manike99]

Only the standard 240 round body version looks similar. The 200 and 280 round bodies look quite different.

[apSafety]

Nice video simon!!! prophecy definately looks like a great buy!!!

[weiweiweiweiwayway]

when do they come out

[manike99]

First week in December.

[littleston101]

def getting one

[jb6389]

would love to see a paint test.
