Its a very good loader...i was shooting at about 12bps and it wasnt misfeeding...great for a beginner with an electro...does what its supposed to do...it doesnt break very easily....its light compared to others...good batt life...great for a spyder (like me)...and for other markers.
Conclusion:
Get it if you have a spyder like me or if you have another similar marker...even woth other markers it will do just fine.

Viewloader 200-round: like having this with agitation
eVLution II w/ y-board: the eggy is a little more expensive for way better hopper
Marker Setup:
Diablo Wrath, eVLution II w/ y-board, Smart Parts Progressive 16", Nitro Duck 70ci/3000psi
Strengths:
Speed
Full hopper=lower battery use
Weaknesses:
Just on/off (no cool settings)
Little cracks at lid, neck and battery
Review:
I got this with my gun when I bought it from a friend. It is ok, but come on people if you're spending $50 on this hopper, save $15 more and buy an eggy. It is a good hopper, but not for it's price. In all honesty, if you get it, sell it on ebay and buy and eggy or halo. Still great for beginners and intermediate, but I can't stress the amount of money this hopper is for what it does.
Conclusion:
Still not bad, but way over priced for an agitated hopper. Save some more money and get an eggy w/ z-board or halo.

Heavy with a full hopper, neck breaks off, lids fly open at sometime.
Review:
I was playing with some of my buddies and Didn't even do anything but i was in this bunker and my neck just cracks and breaks off, so im sitting there trying to fix it while playing but didnt work out. so i ended up using some other hopper my friend lend to me...so much for the Rev.
Conclusion:
DO NOT GET THIS HOPPER your better off with a halo or richocet and they use the same rate or even better..

Viewloader sux
Reliabilty
Review:
This is an average hopper. The thing is loud at times and has a load of trouble when your batteries run out. It is really hard to feed when the bateris run out. ALso the feednek is really weak. Vieloader is just a plain crappy brand so are its sister companies JT and Brass Eagle. The thing doesnt load much faster than a normal hopper. maybe 3 or 4 faster, but i guess i shouldnt expect much more from jsut and agitated hopper
Viewloader 200 Count hoppers, My friends Evo II, Richochet 2K and Other 12V and 9V's
Marker Setup:
12v Revvy, 32 Degrees Whisper Barrel, 32 Degrees Rocket Volumizer, 32 Degrees Flame drop Forward, 32 degrees Long Bolt (Soon Dye Sticky Grips and Evo II) Dye C5 Jersey and Dye C4 Gloves
Strengths:
Stronger plastic now, Like the last review "does what it needs to"
Weaknesses:
I understand there was a batch of weak plastic but they fixed that ASAP
Review:
This is an awesome hopper for ANY gun. I use it for my imagine. My friends dad uses it for his shocker, and my friend used it for his impulse for a while. The plastic is fine now its a fast, decent hopper, and for $50 dollars you cant beat it. I mean come on even some pros still use it.
Conclusion:
Great buy for many many guns. Except for pumps, my friend once tried to use a 12v for his Brass Eagle talon ( he also really has an imagine. If your looking for a great cheap electro hopper BUY THIS
The lid sometimes comes off while your playing a game
Bad shell
Review:
This is a good hopper for a beginer or someone whos gun has a slow ROF. I would of gave this a 10 but once when I was playing a game the hopper was too tight on the feedneck and the whole thing just cracked off while I was running. I didnt have enough money for a new one so i had to crazy glue it back together. I was pissed off. After a couple of days I returned it and got a Evlution 2 which is alot better.
Conclusion:
If your a beginer get this hopper. Its cheap and kind of fast.
ricochet rhino"piece of crap", ricochet apache and evolution II
Marker Setup:
Blue smart parts ion, Evo II w/ z-board, q lock feedneck, blue bullet drop, 14in blue all american barrel, crossfire 68/3000
Strengths:
Pretty good speed, pretty light, very good on batteries
Weaknesses:
Not to many if your using a cheaper gun
explained later.
Review:
Over all this is a very good hopper for a cheaper gun. feeds almost exactly 14 like the box says. would recomend this to people with cheaper guns. not even necesarily cheaper ones. guns w/ eyes this would work, more along the spyder guns, and spyder clones.
Weakness Explained: once you use a better hopper that is feedin like 16-18 per second, this one seems like it skips a lot. not even anything bad if your usin an e-spyder.
Conclusion:
Overall this is a very good product for the money. paintballgear had a purple and black for like 35$ for a little while. most are like 44$ though. still good price. good product for the price though thats why i give it a 10.
(when it shiped) sp ion with dye 70c and kapp stubby cradle
Strengths:
Price
Size
Weaknesses:
Speed
Lid (see body)
Review:
This is a great hopper for its price. Everything runs fine, gets decent bps, and is reliable. The only problem with this is the lid that holds the balls in. I have been playing with it for about 6 months and just noticed the plastic part that attachs it to the hopper was getting lots of cracks on it. I always played carefuly and never fell on my gun, but after i started opening it at my house and it just snaped off. Then i went looking the internet for a replacement because i know this kind of stuff just happens, but couldnt find it anywhere. Now i have to go to the proshop looking for it. I think that the only thing needed would be replacement lids for it too.
Conclusion:
Very good hopper, worth the money, and a great upgrade to any gun. Strongly recomended
This is my first hopper besides for a gravity feed.
Marker Setup:
Spyder Victor II (Blue)
Spyder DYE Xcel Barrel
ViewLoader 12-Volt X-Board Revolution Hopper
Shocktech Spyder Flush-Cocking Supa-Fly Bolt
Custom Products Spyder Razor Drop Forward
Custom Products Gas-Thru Grip
Strengths:
Feeds fast. Up to 12 bps.
Weaknesses:
Breaks easily. The motor breaks after about one game.
Review:
This hopper sucks. I played with it for one game and it broke in the middle of it. I had just bought this hopper the day before, and I broke! I took it to my local paintball store to get it checked out, and they said that the motor burned out. How did it burn out after one game! I was really mad because I had just wasted 60 bucks on a broken hopper.
Conclusion:
Don't buy this hopper, it breaks easily and is a waste of your money.

Shell is too damn weak period
I have bought 3 shells for it
Review:
Ok i got his when i bought my first gun after coming back to paintball, it was a VL revalation, it was an 80 gollar kit and it had some good things but anyways the hopper plastic is way to cheap, i have bought 2 shells for it and will have to buy another shell cause that damn screw holes are becoming striped and the plastic is breaking so yea simply put i wouldnt recommend this
Conclusion:
Save your money and get an Eggy much faster and way more durable and if you feel like playing around with something i would suggest the Q loader
