In the interest of full disclosure I am not employed by R7 USA and receive no compensation from them. Greg Hastings is however a personal friend of mine and I would like to help him promote his product.

Look at the CCM markers he highlighted.

Also checkout the hopper at 1:27 on the tippman crossover

[BlueTrane2028]

I attached a screenshot of the hopper you mentioned, is that the smaller R7 hopper that was rumored a while ago?

Looks cool, but specs and pricing would be a tremendous help.

Got that from their website.

Capacity look fine, but battery might be limited...
Would have prefer a battery that could be quickly change, to gain autonomy.
2h might slightly limiting for all day events, hoping that the charging could be done in lest then 15min.

At that price, the Drift HD is a far better camera.

BTW these won't work with eclipse/bob long feednecks.

Eh, those aren't the specs that would be important to me. I'm more interested in framerates that it can record in, etc.

Yeah, I could go try to navigate another website but a news release should include that information IMO.

Neat gadget, but at that pricepoint I'd expect a hell of a lot out of it. I could get an older model Contour that is proven for considerably less.


*So it appears to shoot in 720@60fps. That's good news at least being that that's the most desirable speed for catching paintball action. It's got a lot of cool features but I'm still skeptical at the pricing. I look forward to some side by side comparisons against other cameras that are on the market.

changing the battrey is way better than being stuck with a charger on the field... 2 hours is way too short, my contour get 3 hours per charge and I always carry an extra battery and SD card to swap at dinner break, even if i'm only halfway...

way too expensive for the short battery life that can't be swapped..
