Planet Eclipse is a long established paintball manufacturer known for designing high end electronic markers built around reliability, consistency, and efficient mechanical systems.

Products Available in the Planet Eclipse CS3 Pro Collection
This collection features the Planet Eclipse CS3 Pro electronic paintball marker and related factory configurations. The CS3 Pro is built on the CS platform and uses the OP Drivetrain, a bolt system designed to operate with minimal adjustment while maintaining consistent performance. The marker features a streamlined aluminum body with smooth contours intended to make cleaning and maintenance easier during play.
The CS3 Pro includes a quick release bolt mechanism that allows the engine to be removed without tools. The bolt system is designed around controlled bolt acceleration, reduced bolt force, and a low operating pressure range. These design choices support consistent cycling and efficient air usage. The marker also incorporates a hoseless air transfer system and an inline regulator mounted within the grip frame.
The CS3 Pro is equipped with an electronic control system that includes an OLED rear mounted display and an NXL PRO firing mode preset. This preset locks legal settings and simplifies referee inspection. The display presents essential information such as firing mode, breech sensor status, and battery level. Power is supplied by two AA batteries with a tool less battery replacement system.
The marker ships with the S63 Pro FL barrel system developed in collaboration with CRBN. The barrel system includes a Nano tip, a windowless back section, and three Eclipse PWR inserts sized 0.681, 0.685, and 0.689. The CS3 Pro also includes a fully adjustable double finger Deuce trigger, an additional blade style trigger, and concealed eye sensors positioned behind the foregrip to help protect electronics from paint and debris.
