Has any owner of this one used Gamma Ballhoopper Pro Plus 110 (holding 110 balls) before? How's the weight and maneuverability in comparison? Tkx!

unable to answer. I've never owned the Gamma. As for the Tourna, it's light and easy to carry or roll. Very happy with purchase.

The weight is not a problem. The wheels are great to roll it around the court. Only problem is the screws for the wheels fell off and one of the wheel came off. I have to replace the screws and now I keep a close eye on the screws. This is a great Ballhoopper. I teach tennis to small kids and they love to use it to pick up the balls.

DEAR KO,I had a great surprise with the quality that this product offered. Defnitly, over my expectations. I have a friend who has a regular one, and there is a big difference, in my personal opinion, in terms of brightness and reach between the two models. If I needed to buy it again, I would definitely go for the PRO Led. I hope this helps... Good luck with your purchase!

I agree with the others. My Nano is currently sitting with a broken tail. I have given up on it for a while. The WL Toys V911 would be my choice for next step. Very fun, very durable. I use my Double Horse 9116 Tx for mine. Plus you can get bind and fly replacements for 20 to 25 on Ebay.

Hi...I, personally, liked the pro glider version better. It seemed less plastic-like and more like something that he could use much longer than the "my first" version. My son, who turned 3 in May, received his for Christmas and he loves to ride around on his.I hope this helps! I know he will enjoy it.Thanks!

I am not sure where the mix reviews are coming from. I weight about 200lbs and use this ball daily, several hours a day. I sit up hard, stretch, bounce, and have never felt that ball was not performing the way it should. As a matter of fact, I am surprised it has held air as long as it has with all the daily abuse. This has been an excellent product for me. Further more, when you buy this ball and use it for a couple of months, leave an honest comment and call the company and in return for your honest feedback they will mail you a resistance band of your choice for free.

I own this tripod and the legs are very strong and sturdy. No ball mount, just left right pan and up down tilt fluid head. Fluid head can be a tad stiff....I'd say it's a 8 out of 10 compared to a manfrotto fluid head. For the price.....it's worth I just for the legs and you can upgrade the head later. That's what I'll be doing.

I've used the cheap Macgregor ones. Bought them with the machine over a year ago and they are still going strong. Different balls will come out of the machine differently, you just have to make minor adjustments to the machine. I see no reason to go top of the market for dimple balls for this machine.

Not sure, but I used 7542 at Augusta just last week, and it was terrific. Could follow Bubba's ball flight from 13th tee around the corner of 13 easily. It was definitely one of my best ideas to take binoculars, and these were excellent for that job. I could stand wherever, and bring players and the swings, even their grips, up close. Highly recommended.

According to their websites the Protac HL throws a whopping 253m tops and the Klarus XT11 is approx. 202m (from cpf--not listed on their website). Having said that the HL is marketed as more of a "spiller" and the Klarus is marketed as being more balanced. My understanding is that anything over 150m is usable (because it's hard for our eyes to see much further than that anyway). It will really come down to preference. The Klarus has a medium mode and the low mode is not as aggressive (10) as the Streamlight's low (33). The Klarus also sports a more aggressive head. Both great flashlights with great reviews!

How motivated are you, and how are you traveling? I really like this tripod, and have used it with 20x60 binoculars a mile walk from a vehicle. The 'pod, a 128RC mount, and a small spotter together weigh about 14 pounds. I have a vanguard tripod and a 391 head that will take the weight down to about 11 pounds - but the 55 is in my trunk today. I probably wouldn't try to take this on a plane, as its most collapsed length is still pretty good-sized, and I wouldn't likely take it backpacking, but for car camping and day hikes it's very good.

ditto! We've had ours since our 7 yr old was 1yr. We recently got it out for our 1yr old but have just 3 balls.. & he loves it. Maybe check the Playskool website. I was hoping i could just order extras on Amazon but i do not see them listed.

I haven't used the Lightscoop, but, I have used the Fong Puffer. I am very happy with the results. Keep in mind bouncing requires a low enough white ceiling which isn't always available.

the flat trigger model seems to have a better response time , they are both excellent. i would recommend ether one for any fishing or small game trapping.

Total weight is the key: Orion 8996 10 inch weight is 25.5 lbs. A set of rings and mounting plate will weigh ~ 5 lbs. Eypiece (1 1/4) ~ 1LB. So you are already at 30lb for a minimal visual (No Red dot finder, dew heater tapes or 2 inch eyepieces). Weight capacity listed for CG4 is 20lb. Typically that is the max for visual only with max photographic load being 60% of that. Both under no wind/breeze and good balance. My experience: I had mine initially on an Atlas EQ-G as well which is rated at ~ 40 lb max. Plan, plan plan if you try astrophotography. Depending on how heavy your guide scope/camera or off axis guider/camera, main camera, dew heater tapes any mis-balance can easily make things unguidable/unstable and/or make the Go-to off. Optics of my tube were good based on Ronchi eyepiece , collimation was stable (but bit touchy to set). If you get the EQ-G be sure to get the upgraded (larger) counterweight bar if you plan to take pictures. Much more stable, the original one my EQ-G came with could be wobbled. Also upgrade the azm/altitude knobs. (Google EQ-G knob enhancements.) The bolts that came with mine were hard to adjust and made of inferior steel. (You will also have to get a complete new SET of counterweights if you upgrade. The holes are bigger.)

I wanted the gimbal head because it was strong enough to hold my 15 lb Canon 500 securely on the tripod. I don't know how much weight your ball head supports, but I doubt it will support the weight of the gimball. The Opteka seems to perform well, allowing easy vertical and horizontal movements, and with a longer slide piece, balances the lense well. JonK.

I can't miss with mine. I hit a grouse about 80m out, and consistently hit my mark. With other guns like the Varmint Hunter, 25 Benjamin Nitro, I miss a lot. After hundreds of rounds, I realized that its due to the relationship between the triggers and the sighting. Basically the German gun is primo engineering and from the trigger pull on its great. I have all stock parts on mine and won't change a thing. Its ready for action.

I've used a table top tripod with this and had good luck, like for target shooting, etc.. For star gazing, a regular tripod where you stand up, worked better for me. If the wind is blowing, it will probably shake some no matter what one you use. Outside of that, I think it's a great spotting scope. Hope I helped.
