The CS2 rocks. We all know this and it continues to do so, but we've made a few changes that make the CS2 even better. First, we've updated the Firmware on BOTH boards. This means that your CS2 (once you've updated it) will be able to connect to our new E-Portal Lite App (available NOW in the App Store), so you can customise your marker settings from your iPhone. Cool right? Secondly, the Firmware update reconfigures your Bluetooth module so that it will connect to the latest Virtue Spire IV iFI Technology™ which is great news for all CS2 and Spire IV owners. Simply follow these steps to make the most of your CS2 + SpireIV partnership. 1: Update BOTH CS2 boards to the latest 1.50 Firmware using E-Portal 4 . 2: Do a Factory Reset of your CS2 via your LCD screen to reconfigure your Bluetooth module. 3: Enable Bluetooth on your CS2. 4: With your CS2 ON, hold down the bottom button on your Spire IV. 5: Power up the Spire IV. 6: When the light turns green, release the bottom bu...

At Planet HQ we love the club structure. It just make so much sense when it comes to Paintball teams, coaching and player development if done right. in the UK we have two great examples Warped and SaD.. I'm sure there are more around the World, let us know if you are a member of one.... One such club is RNPPC out of France... Created in 2014 with a single objective: to train players under 16 in the practice of paintball (using 50cal Paintballs).. fast forward to today where RNPPC have 4 teams in the U16 League but also in Div 3 and Div 1 shooting 68cal. The RNPPC Div 1 squad has an average age of 25 and the Div 3 just 17 years of age!! RNPPC have over 60 members in the club, including 30 children under the age of 16. RNPPC have been crowned French Champions twice and 3 times of Ile de France in U16 and last year 2nd in Div2 which opened the door to division 1. The season has started in France but as with everything Team Covid is dominating the frustrating the teams. But RNPPC are...

At Eclipse we pride ourselves on the reliability of our products and making sure that any marker that a customer receives is as close to perfection as possible. Every single marker, from Emek to CS2 Pro goes through multiple QC checks throughout its build, culminating in a firing test over a chronograph to check for leaks, function and velocity. This has always been our way and always will be. Unfortunately sometimes things catch us by surprise. Often things that do not show up in testing, but only manifest themselves once the marker is with its new owner. And unfortunately we find ourselves in this very rare situation just now. During the first batch of LV1.6 that were produced, a number of LPR regulator seals were used that had been previously condemned. Unfortunately these seals can fail prematurely, leading to over-pressurizing of the LPR regulator, with the result being a marker that does not feel and shoot like an LV1.6 should. After discovering the issue we immediately put in pl...
