Need some hopper advice... Or at least some sharing of experiences.

I'd say Rotor too. I had the same feelings you did about how it looked. After using one for a day, I was hooked!

My old hopper was a TSA Halo. I never thought I'd move to something else...

It's such a great loader. I cant say enough good things about mine. In addition to what has already been said, the lid is huge, and the bigger catch cups hold about 5 more balls than any of the others.

i am using a empire Prophecy, and i also have two Pinokios
the pinokios are awesome because they simply work and are so easy
the prophecy is great once you figure out what settings work best for your set up
i had a couple issues with it but they were solved once i tweaked it out of the factory defaults
and of course i still have my good ole' revy!!!

my vote goes to the pinokio for simplicity
prophecy if you want something to tweak
and an ole revy if you dont want it to ever run out of batteries
good luck with your purchase

I noticed that there hasn't been any mention of the Prophecy I thought that was the biggest competitor to the Rotor right now (performance-wise)

I noticed that too. My brother in law has one and I got my hands on it the other day for a little bit. It's WAY nicer than the rotor, halo, or VLjr IMHO. It's nice, low profile and much higher capacity than most of the other loaders (you can change the front cone of this hopper to accomodate 200, 240 or 280 rounds). Very simple with halo like internals. Magnetic clutch, sound activation, rf, manual feed, runs on 4 AA batteries or 2 9v's. Not to mention more adjustments than any of the previously mentioned hoppers.

I know I mentioned this before but it is WAY low profile. It doesn't sit as far aft as a magna but that's really not much of a problem. My vote is for the Prophecy (which I will be purchasing this winter some time and passing my Halo B over to my wife.).

P.S. It pulls apart FASTER than a rotor without tools.

My buddy has a prophecy and I have a rotor

If you want something that just works the rotor is awesome if you want something to tweak with I suggest the prophecy.

The Empire Prophecy gets my vote as well. I know it's not on the list, but it give it serious consideration; it's fantastic!

I just can't see myself spending $150 on a loader. My upgraded halo I got 2yrs ago is enough for any marker out there.

Unless your wanting to show off what your marker can do. Lets face it, nothing can keep up to a Q-Loader. Even the Rotor, unless it comes out of a marker that fast. I call BS on Dye's clam of 50+ bps. I've seen every loader but a Q miss feed a ball or 2. I've even had my E-mag chuff a few times on a Rotor going 25bsp

And I'm sure some of you guys have seen it too.

You can't shoot that fast in a game so what's the point.

Rotor $150

or

Halo $65 new

It's your money brother.

If I ever do get another loader, it'll be for my Warpfeed. The Empire Magna has the best setup for a Warp due to the placement of the feedneck.

One advantage over the Halo is the quickness that you can take it apart. Maybe some weight savings and streamline look. I agree with you Ando, if you can't outshoot a Halo and it is less than half the price, what is the point.

Although, I must say that the Prophecy looks sexy!!!

[some hippie]

Invert HaloToo is good I tjink there 60 now
pinnokios are great 38 cases on the baterries, lightest, your not breaking the bend sensor, and no jams....on sale at ans for 135............good luck

I own both. I use the prophecy, and give my wife the rotor. I have never changed the settings on either, and honestly don't know how. Neither have gave me problems.

The only thing I like better about the rotor than the prophecy is the on/off button. I love the rotors easy of turning it on/off and knowing it is on/off.

Both loaders are able to keep up with my mag and viking at 20+ bps.

[Ando]

Weight savings? Really??? Guys, we shoot mags, go to the gym if your that hard up on weight :rofl:

[kcombs9]

^^^^

lol what i tell people at my local field when they hold my 10lb(no paint) emag with warp and halo.

[Shirow]

Can anyone give me the skinny on the Invert Halo? What's the difference between that and the Halo B's?

[Pump Scout]

Halo Too has a new shell (flat black, new tougher material), sound activation, no Rip Drive from what I can see, and it's not true force feed. Basically a "dumbed down" Reloader B in a new skin.

EDIT - That's not meant to be a slight on the hopper at all. It doesn't have the massive number of features, adjustments, and upgrades available on the Halo/ReloaderB, but it's still plenty of hopper for probably 90% of players.
