This is a very unique tank cradle system. Creates very compact set-up. Your tank can be mounted in a number of different positions to suit your style of play. Designed for Raptor Nitro/HPA systems. Black aluminum, uses standard allen bolts.

Review:
This cradle is designed for Raptor style tanks, and people complain that it costs soo much to put an on/off into it. With my 114/4500 raptor REX tank it works fine, and is sturdy, not flimsy. I like the way it looks, with the cutout rather than the stamped logo, and I also like the adjustablitly. A person with a 88 91 or 114 wants it up more than a person with a 45 48 68. Its adaptability is awesome.
Conclusion:
I like it. I rated it a 9 because thats the average, and i havent used it much. It adapts to you and your setup. It is a good tank.

Strengths:
Nothing really.
Weaknesses:
Makes your profile HUGE.
Review:
I got this used with my first autococker, well, I hated it. It made my profile so tall since when I went to shoulder, I never used any different method than I was used to, so it added a good 3 inches to my profile, something that is not good for a front man like me. I really wouldn't recomend this drop to anybody unless you have a 114ci 4500 psi nitro tank and you play back. Since thats all imo its good for.
Conclusion:
This drop is all around useless imo, nobody needs anything this big, all it does is increases your profile and nobody needs that when purchasing a drop. This gets a 2 considering its very pricey and the on off isnt the easiest thing to turn.
I have not used any drops before, and im glad i didnt waste the money

Weaknesses:
only things is that it does not fit my stock duckbill perfectly
Review:
This drop is the bomb, the only thing better would of course be the DZ 3, but i already bought this and it is so good i do not need to replace it. The only complaint i have is not a major one at all, but it will not fit the stock Impulse duckbill (where the tank screws in), so i had to use a bunch of duck tape to make the duckbill thicker, then i just used loc-tite on the bolts and have not had a problem since. The drop will allow you to mount the tank to the left, the right, and of course in the center like normal. The drop also allows you to find your perfect pocket and comfort area, you just put the drop on the gun, then put the tank on, loosen the cradle piece, and slide the tank until it is in the perfect spot, then just tighten it. It will be perfect.
Conclusion:
Great drop, you should buy it, it is sort of expensive, but it is the best drop out there,and as far as i know, the most adjustable. you only have to buy quality once.
NorthWest Products drop forward; good quality, but not adjustable.
Marker Setup:
Bob Long Defiant

Kapp Drop Zone II

Strengths:
highly adjustable
durable
price is reasonable
Weaknesses:
none so far
Review:
I got it used combined w/ the KAPP on/off adapter which is the perfect match for only $50.00. paint seemed to chip a bit, but I took it 2 times to the field w/ my Defiant and works really well. The Defiant has a short back unlike a cocker, so it fits me perfectly fine.
I like the fact that u can adjust it to fit any tank, tho for shorter tank the rail might need to be drilled.
Feel sturdy and u can fit other on/off adapter other than KAPP.
I love this product !!
Conclusion:
I think it's better than the DZ III cuz u can adjust the tank to ur right or left ( doesn't matter for me cuz I'm learning to shoot w/ both hands), tho the DZ III looks better. It's very good for the price range. Definetly get it if u have a bigger tank.
I used a Rock-N-Roll cradle, and an ACI Duckbill screw in.
This is really the second cradle I have ever used.
Marker Setup:
Black to Silver faDE Mag
Black Benchmark 1x
Black Dye Stickeys
Black Dye Aluminum barrel
Black Ricochet
Black Kapp Drop Zone
CenterFlag 420 68 4500
Black RASE tank cover
Superbolt
Strengths:
-It is really solid. I was expecting it to be a little flimsy and it isn't at all.
-Well built
-Works well
-Pretty good price
Weaknesses:
Well it is not adjustable at all. You have to take the tank out to fill it. You can't move it forward or back at all. Other than that it is really pretty good.
Conclusion:
I think it is a well made solid product. Compared to the Warped Sportz cradle and several others I like this one more. You can set it up with several On/Off's or screw in adapters. I like to put the cradle around the neck of the tank and screw the On/Off on the end of the tank. It puts the tank up far enough to be really compact. I use a CenterFlag 68 4500.

Weaknesses:
Had to remove the block on both of em to get the drop to NOT wobble a little bit.
Paint chips off too easily.
with a long reg drop can be too tight.
Conclusion:
Overall good drop.
Price should come down a bit and they might consider making the unit 1 piece insted of 2 for the gun mounted half. That wobble is damn annoying.
Other than that I like it.
2000 Angel(2001 Board), KAPP Diamond Bolt, KAPP Drop Zone 2(Chrome)
Strengths:
looks really nice on the gun, puts the tank way forward making the gun nice and compact.
Weaknesses:
expensive little mother....especially in chrome, they sent me the wrong size screws for it though....so i just bought some more for cheep at a hardware store.
Conclusion:
good cradle/dropforward if u like to spend money. i reccomend it for front players.

Strengths:

Very Good Balance With A Cocker
Weaknesses:
1) it is painted and chips
2) some people say it is expencive but look at the Kapp dove tail or any other DF that is built good and drops the tank that much forward.
Conclusion:
Grate DF in my opinion good for some people not good for others
But if u use one u will like it
i am giving it a (9) becuse it is good for me and it as light
