| Review: |
Played with this hopper for the first time yesterday. Used 1st on my VS3 with upgraded reg, Trinity front block, freak barrel, and on air. Hopper kept up with the rocking trigger very well. After 3 games I switched to my Nasty Shocker with Blackheat, HE Bolt, Freak, Upgraded reg. Put the blackheart on Full auto and this still kept up. Very impressed by the hopper |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this to anyone that wants a little cheaper hopper then the Vlocity. Very impressed and I will be buying 2 more to replace my Halos/Reloaders |

| Review: |
Well there was a huge price gap between this and a halo, so I went with the eyeforce. I'll admit it is ugly, but the profile isn't as big as it looks. Comparing it to a halo produced nearly the same profile. This thing is fast, faster than I will ever be able to walk. The stock spring is rough for brittle paint, this can be easily fixed by taking a little tension out of the spring. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If your looking for performance vs price you can't beat this hopper. Sure it aint the prettiest hopper but does that really matter when your in the middle of a game. -1 for being ugly... |

| Review: |
I picked this up at Academy for $50 and love it. Since my Ion shoots 17 BPS and this is rated at 20 BPS I thought I couldn't go wrong and was right. It keeps up with my Ion even when it's in rebound shooting a full 17 BPS.
When I bought the Ion I had the Revy with X-Board and occasionally it couldn't keep up when shooting ropes. This isn't surprising since it's not rated that high. With the Eye Force this isn't a problem since it is a true force fed loader.
I haven't shot any real brittle paint but so far have had no breaks. It has a mechanisim to automatically un-jam paint and I have heard it kick in when when shooting old, out of round paint with flat faces. That's the only time it has a hard time feeding continuously but that's the paint's fault not the loader. However, it works quickly and get's you back in the game rapidly. When shooting good, round, new paint it rocks right along never missing a beat.
I've shot about 2000 rounds through it so far and the batteries are still working. I always turn it off between rounds to preserve them.
The lid snaps tight in good Viewloader fashion.
And in the looks department, I think it looks great. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I have first hand proof it will shoot at 17 BPS non-stop. Considering most fields won't allow over 15 anyway then for $50 why would you buy anything else? |

| Review: |
When I won this hopper in a local Father/Son tournament I thought it would be like another Revvy. After I put some old batterys in it and did a drop test, I was impressed to say the least. The hopper was fast and it wasn't heavy. It's a true force feed loader at a decent price.
If anyone would like to see the drop test of the Eye-Force, here is the link: http://www.darksidevideo.org/video/50f989fb-b548-48c8-8317-9

|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend this product to someone looking for a decent hopper but not wanting to spend $100 on a Vlocity Jr. I will keep this Eye-Force as a back-up to my Vlocity Jr. |

| Review: |
Good product over all never had any issue with it until about 2 months ago. I play StockClass and Pump most of the time. I bought a proto SLG for the few times a year I play speed ball. I have really only used 2 loaders before I bought this one (VL Revy, Halo B & BT RipClip). I have never had a problem with any of loader I have own before so...... The Problem.
The problem is the loader reverses, then goes forward. the result is ball breaks alot of them. I have cleaned it many times, checked that the batteries are new. I visually check every part and I see no problem. I haven't emailed VL about this yet but it was a dissappointment.
When the loader was working %100 It was great never missed a beat. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If I didn't have this problem I would have no problem reconmending it, but I would have say where ever you buy this loader ask them what their warrenty & return policy is only because of the loading problem. |

|
| Review: |
Works great with low end electronic markers. I use it with my VS1 its fast enough for it and its great on price and batteries. I think if you need a fast eye operated hopper for a good price this is the one for you. I think this is the perfect hopper for someone who is a beginner and doesn't have a very big budget. One day when that person gets a high end gun they can still use this hopper reliably. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its great for price and good on batteries and it holds 200 paintballs and eye operated.
The reason I give it an 8 is because it is BUTT UGLY and is a little heavy |

|
| Review: |
I was looking for a replacement to a worn out VLocity Jr. and found this for $50. It works great and saves batteries vs. the VLocity. The battery door issue from the VLocity is gone now too. The biggest drawback is that if you break a ball in the hopper (brittle paint, a hard slide, whatever), then the eye will be fooled into thinking that paintballs are in the ball-stack and it will stop feeding. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it unless you use insanely brittle paint. |
