Hybrid Foto get Eclipsed !

-
HyBrid Foto, like Planet Eclipse, started out small but has become a rapidly growing company from southern Sweden that specializes in paintball and extreme sports photography. They have quickly become a one stop shopping for photography, print and design for teams all across Europe and soon hopes to expand to the US market.

“I’ve been in paintball since 1999 and have grown quite fond of the sport and the people in it. It was our main goal when we started our company to strive to give the players what they need when they needed it. We wanted our photography to show the emotions and passions of the players in this amazing sport. Planet Eclipse is helping us to achieve that goal. They care not only for the players in the sport but the others that are involved as well. We look forward to a rewarding partnership with Planet Eclipse” says Ami Helge, one of HyBrid Foto’s owners. HyBrid Foto is happy to be a new member of the Planet Eclipse family in the 2011 season. Eclipse will be providing world class protection to these three photographers as they deliver hard hitting, adrenaline pumping paintball photos of events from around the globe. Ami, Mats and Ståle will be sporting the 2011 line of Eclipse protective gear.

“While on the field shooting events we often take a great deal more hits than the players, as we move to get those all so important shots. With Eclipse’s new Overload Elbow pads protecting my arms it will be much easier to shoot from different angles as the padding sticks with your arm, following my every move unrestrictedly. We tend to take a great deal of hits in our sides and hands, but this year Eclipse has got us covered. The Overload jersey and Gauntlet gloves will give us the peace of mind knowing we can get our cameras up and in position without worrying about risk of hits to those tender areas on the hands, ribs and under the arm” says Ami.

Players aren’t the only one who get down and dirty on the field. “Paintball is a fast sport. We need our protection to be unrestrictive yet stay where is supposed to. We get down on our knees or lay down on the fields to get some pretty amazing shots. With Eclipse’s new Overload knee pads and Distortion pants we can still continue to do our job without being slowed down. The days of hurting knees and being slowed down on the field with bulky protective gear are over.”

HyBrid Foto will be providing world class photography to Planet Eclipse throughout the 2011 season from events such as Millennium Series, PSP, Swedish Paintball SM, Norwegian Paintball Liga, Danish paintball events, Portugal, NPPL and Asia World Cup. Future project include such items as: high quality photo books that paintball players will come to enjoy for the years to come.

TECH BULLETIN: CS3 HPR Body O-Rings ⚙️

Whenever we hear reports of any issues with our products – no matter how small – we like to jump on it as soon as possible, try our best to understand the root of the problem and then provide a definitive solution. Over the last couple of weeks we have received reports of some inconsistent air leaks from the frame and POPS area of the CS3. Every marker that we produce is thoroughly tested prior to packaging and shipping, but unfortunately these leaks have developed after shipping, and normally at temperatures below those that the markers experience in testing. This is generally down to contraction – or shrinkage – of seals that occurs as the temperature drops. The leak can be heard from around the grips or, with the grips removed, from the Regulator Hole A in the side of the frame. It can also be heard from the join between the bottom of the frame and the POPS. We have traced these leaks to what appears to be a bath of bottom tolerance 016 NBR70 o-rings used on the brass HPR Body (see...

Team Capital Offense   attended the "Mutant Warfare" Scenario from Guru Games at Sherwood Forest. This event utilized next gen technology replacing outdated flag stations with digital & RFID technology.  Picture Courtesy of: Matthew Walton of Guru Games  Player ca rds are now tied to the scenario and are no longer just for chronos and safety briefs. Players use their cards to capture flag stations, acquire props and return for points, conduct game missions and more.  Picture courtesy of: Jon Barber The score was tracked in real time using Wi-Fi and RFID technology and a virtual game map was displayed that showed faction control as it happened.  Players were also able to score points individually and see their ranking on the leaderboard.  Developed by Matthew "MrEspn" Walton of Guru Games, the game also integrated Discord for live event updates and VOIP chats. The event was hailed as a significant step forward in paintball innovation, attracting pla...
