Traditional pods, the standard flip tops and standard Loaders.
Marker Setup:
A-5 heavily modded.
Strengths:
Fast and durable, oh and did its fast! Very fast.
Weaknesses:
Has to be modded to work with 99% of loaders. No biggie.
Review:
The speed collar should only be used with the speed pods. If you try to use traditional pods you will be very disappointed. With the speed pod in hand, it takes less than a second to load your hopper.
I was able to find the speed collar for under $15 online. It doesn’t come with the timer, but who wants that POS anyway. Rest assured, this is not an expensive item. If you get the speed pods($5 each) and the collar(less than $15), you wont break the bank.
As far as installation goes, you will have to mod your Loader if you attach it to anything other than a Viewloader brand Loader. I installed it on my A-5 fairly easily and it only took me about 10 minutes. I simply drilled four holes around the mouth of my loader and around the speed collar, then secured it with nylon zip ties. Its not too hard, you just have to be smarter than the collar.
If used properly with the correct pods, you can load your hopper much faster than with a traditional setup. Any of the minor nuisances you might run into are easy to overcome with a little brain power. I have been using this system for at least 6 months, playing well over 50 games with it and have yet to experience even one problem with the setup.
Conclusion:
If you want to fill your loader in the fastest way possible without spilling a ball, then this product is for you. Just remember to get the full system, pods as well as the collar or you will be making a huge mistake. If you only buy one and not the other you will hate it.
The only reason this product isn't getting a 10 from me is simply because of the bit of extra time(and modding) necessary to mount the collar
