Planet Eclipse HQ Blog

Sorry, we couldn't resist the dumb click-baity title (we hate them with a passion) but it's true. We had a big clean up at Planet Eclipse HQ and genuinely found something incredible. Two things in fact! We’ve all found something cool when cleaning behind the sofa. A boiled sweet, a coin, maybe even a fiver but we were astounded by what we found during a lockdown clean up.  Ledz and the guys decided to clear out the forgotten corners at Planet Eclipse HQ and found not one, but TWO RAW GSLs that had somehow slipped the net. Some of the guys wanted to keep them, others wanted to hide them but we decided to do something special with them. So we sent them over to Arc Anodising in the USA to create two very special one-offs. One is a vintaged-rust-high-gloss hybrid which is stunning and the other looks like our classic Aurora finish. Both are truly incredible markers that will be a welcome addition to anyone’s collection AND will be more than up to the job of ripping things up on the...

 CF20 Mag – Important Announcement!   After 18 months of design, testing and even more testing we finally released the first production batch of our CF20 Magazines into the wild this past weekend, with the UK being the first market to use them in anger. Unfortunately, we have been made aware of an issue that resulted in the failure of a single part within the magazine for one customer. To some, the news of a single failure wouldn’t be an issue, you just send them a replacement part. But for us, any failure is a big deal. We design and manufacture our products to work as they should, to stay the course, and to be the very best on the market because ultimately WE also want to use these products. If a product fails our customers, we believe we fail as a brand. R&D have been analysing the part in question and have identified the problem.  We are currently arranging a replacement part to be manufactured, which will be replaced in all retail units as quickly as physically p...

The final instalment of our Making Moves series brings Stoke Quest's 2020 CPPS season to a close. Did they manage to win Division 1 and earn promotion to Elite for 2021? Read on friends, read on. All good things must come to an end at some point even paintball; after a hectic year for UK paintball CPPS Round 3 would see the final event of the year for Quest. Going into the final event Quest currently sit 7 points clear at the top of Division 1 and would need to win just 2 of their games to be out of sight and win promotion to Elite for the 2021 season. The final event would only be 4 games for Quest due to the nature of the double round robin format, which had been introduced this season. That’s 4 chances to get their hands on the Golden Chalice / Holy Grail / Bleeding Goblets... etc.  The first game of the day saw Quest matchup against the only team that have managed to stop the momentum of Quest so far, the Planet Eclipse factory team Sandbaggers Black. Going into the day, it was...

2020 continues to kick everyone where it hurts and the latest UK Lockdown is just another thing we need to navigate. But how does this affect Planet Eclipse, and more importantly you, our loyal customers? In simple terms, it shouldn’t affect us too much. Our production and manufacturing side of the business will continue to operate as normal. Of course we are still suffering delays due to the knock on effects, globally, but Planet Eclipse HQ will still run day-to-day without any issues. We have lots of precautions in place to keep our staff, friends and family safe so we can all work towards doing what we do best. We will continue to bring you updates and will keep working our asses off to bring you the very best paintball gear on the Planet. Thanks for your continued support and patience. #planeteclipse #covid19 #uklockdown #lockdown #thankyou

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...
