View Loader Eye-Force Electronic Hopper
Here is an interesting product that View Loader has released (apparently released in March, but why am I just finding out about it?!). Immediately you think something has gone awfully wrong in the production line, and somehow shell casts from Halos, VLocities, Pulses, and Revvies were all blended together in a tragic accident. Well, perhaps it’s not so tragic after all.

It’s definitely not the fastest hopper in the world, but if these specs are true then it carries quite a kick for the price. I had an older Revvie once, sound activated and all that, and I can just say if the batteries weren’t new then things would get ugly. But this hopper has come a long way it seems with the Dual Eye Vision, Anti-Jam, and 2 piece body for easy cleaning. And it’s said to be the lightest hopper out, something like 14 ounces when loaded with batteries. Again, if all this is true, then I’d give this hopper a 10/10 for the price-performance ratio. So maybe it looks pregnant, but at least it’s not that Spyder…thing/hopper.

That thing is fun to play with. I can tell you that people around the office are really excited about the product especially for the price-point it is at.
We are shooting a 101 video for it Sunday at S.W.A.T. in Bentonville, Arkansas so check viewloader.com in the next week or so if you are interested in seeing more of this loader.
