you guys should really watch the whole video not just the part where he says which one he thinks is the best. because that way you can learn stuff about each rotor/hopper. Idk it just seems like skipping to the end is a waste of the guy who made the video's time. He spent alot of time collecting the information for these rotors.
Took me about a half hour of debate with myself but the EMPIRE logo appeared at 9:01-9:02 and then again at 27:27-27:28 according to the youtube timer...Good luck to all who entered but i really hope i can get this one!!
@9:02 in the torn banner i do point out he is whering an empire mask also At @27:27 on his left arm our right of the screen when stick says drink lots and lots and lots of coffee
I was really parinoid at first and stopped the video every time a little flash of light of any sort occured, and then I saw the first one and was like FML. But if I win then it would be worth it!
@walkingturret3 i'm looking at the z2 myself because it is cheaper and is the 2nd in it's line and it seems like it is a quality product i've used the rotor some and it is definately great but the only thing for me is the price hope this kinda helps
@walkingturret3 Either the Empire Z2 Loader, or the Dye Rotor. Both of them work great . but the Dye Rotor is bought more because its made from 'Dye' .. But it is actually a very good hopper. It also depends on what you want to use. If you are going to be playing with a very fast gun, you might need to get the Dye Rotor. But if you're not going to crank the gun up to its last mode, then consider in buying the Empire Z2 or the Pinokio Hopper.
some of you may think he was a bit harsh or kind of a douche but he wasn't. He made an honest, and a very good review. I had a vlocity that could shoot balls faster than my old v max. I saw this and i couldn't agree anymore on what he said about the v max.
Okay so IMO, the rotor is way over priced. The pinokio kicks ass for woodsball, the empire is great in performance, battery life, and easy of accesibility. The vmax looks promising but I have never used one. I just don't get why you would pay 200 for a hopper. I would rather pay 20 and get a revvy haha but hey thats just what I think.
@TreButter Rotor as it keeps tension on the ball stack as you shoot. The z2 does not have any constant tension on the stack that changes as you shoot. Also, the z2 had more variance in ROF as it was firing. Rotor was more consistent at same bps speeds. They are tiny differences, but I noticed that you have a harder time totally emptying the z2 due to its floor tray design
@huntman29 Batteries were new, and I tested two V-Max loaders. You have a video for me to look at? I'm curious as to why you have a loader that does what two of mine couldn't,
@method55 I have the rotor shooting at 26-29bps on an rtmag with a SHP ninja tank on video over on the hampden paintball channel. The gun outshot the rotor when it hit 29bps. So, I know the rotor will do 29bps and have it on youtube
@method55 Removing variables means nothing if you're testing something for performance. The variable you're removing is the loader's ability to start and stop, which is what you're supposed to be testing for. You're thinking in poor scientific terms. You don't "remove variables" from a test so that you like your results better. Drop tests are worthless, because they don't show performance.
I love my Z2 and my Rotor... But If I really had to choose between their pros and Cons, I'd Pick the Z2 for the bigger feedgate... The battery life isnt too great on it though from my experience :(
ive always liked your videos and will continue to watch,but obviously the rate of fire on marker was changed with the prophecy. I have regular empire b halo that is sound activated feed faster than all 3 you researched!
@volenteertjm7373 your a dumbass dude. How do you think these guys make all the awesome videos? Takes time and MONEY. A 15 second advertisement is not that bad.
At the end of the video, a white Empire logo appears and disappears on Stick's left sleeve. it is at 27:27, but you might want to put it at 27:25 and look for it. Whats up with that?
Couple things: Are you sure you weren't capped? Rotor, pinokio, and z2 should have ripped a little faster. I love that hurricane speed feed on the rotor its glorious. I lolled when he had to prime the pinokio. You forgot about the shitty power button on the vmax and the battery draining issues. But I really enjoyed both takes on the products.
@poondawg They were faster, but the average was posted for the sake of showing overall slow performance of the V-Max. We'll be posting peak value data shortly.
In the V-Max's defense it was produced as a woodsball loader, in which case speed is not always key, but making sure it feeds and is quiet. I still would never buy one myself, just felt like adding a tidbit of info.
@TBbucs121 and the ass you dumb lol you only wish you could get with my sister your probably a 12 year old kid that stays at home and plays with his toys
The z2 sounds like a steam engine...not worth 200 bucks...valken v max is perfectly 100 bucks all hoppers do the same shit.
