Well now im interested because they moved power button, got rid of that angle indicator light, and comes with lid and speed feed. However price is high. Maybe color option gets me bite. Thanks for the video LWP!!
I’m happy with all the updates. For those complaining about the 225 price point need to do a break down of what’s included. Speed feed is $40ish and ramps $12. When you buy a regular Ctrl new, you were spending $175 I believe. What BK is doing now is cutting the time and extra money you would spend anyway and give it to you in a package. If this hopper is to pricey, buy an IR2.
Some nice stuff incorporated, however I'm noticing a plastic worm gear. Not sure what the motor gear is made of, but I'm questioning reliability, in regards to the drive system.
All I got out of this was “we’re making these cheaper and selling them for more!”. The tray looks like a massive downgrade compared to a spire, doesn’t seem worth the lower profile to take away the ease of cleaning.
To be fair when are you ever using that feature though? Similar to the GI hopper with a clock in it, it's cool for that one time you're using it to show off, but it's an unnecessary cost, parts, and takes up space in the hopper.
$225 Dollars… is a massive problem. The main reason Paintball will continue to not grow is because of greedy suppliers trying to suck every single dollar out of every single person they can, when they can. Garbage business model. You think y’all are making money too but you have no idea the amount of money you are LOSING out on in the long run because nobody working for these companies has any clue about business/economics. Guaranteed there is maybe ~$30 worth of cost in a single hopper. But boy will they burn you on their markup.
You can buy an IR or LTR for a decent price definitely used. This is in every sport/hobby. Unfortunately they just dont have any good ways to market PB so it will never grow.
My. Ctrl has 1000 bodies and is still like new incredible technology can’t wait. For 2

I love all the updates to it. It’s an actual upgrade.

And you're getting a +20 shell.
The + shells are $40 each!
I like the standard push button on/off, and no more angle indicator is nice, too.
Love the changes! I definitely would have hopped on this if I didn’t just get a spire 5
Shells still going to explode apart?
Stronger shell and internal lock
That long haired guy in the beginning is so cool looking
Love it has 👀
Tony is so happy 😂

Serious question, Do we still have to keep them secured together with thick rubber bands or tape?
Hey guys, I misspoke. The Spire III and IV have to guess to feel the paint stack, not the Spire V
$225 yall are killing us
Dude for reals!
I mean wouldn’t a revy do ok?
@@miket4078yup even though we don’t shoot fast I want to see a force fed version of the virtue/bk internals now that’s interesting
I would happily buy at $150.00.
I will patiently wait.
Tony in the back not knowing what to do when he’s not the one doing the presentation
lol, I just bought the ctrl
So now no more quick cleaning inside of your ctrl with locking the tray and having to unscrew the new motor ……This seems like a downgrade to me
yea they lost me at the part where he uncrewed it and saw that nasty motor 🤢
Nice improvements, just hope you have my color!
Shells cross compatible with the ctrl 1?
Yes!
Top shells only
225 leaves a mark………..

No angel indicator anymore?!?! This was the only thing makes it one of a kind :( !!!

spire 4 has ir2 tech and spire 4 tech. no need for that. i been using spires the whole year.

@@AustinK95 Last time I used a dye product was the LTR. I had 2. of th and both of them broke.
Just buy one of the numerous cheaper options, or a used loader?
This is a luxury sport for a reason
