1/What should my tank output pressure be for my Planet Eclipse 170R?
The Planet Eclipse 170R can be operated by a tank outputting anywhere from 250psi all the way to 800psi!
2/What is the difference between the Etha 2 and the 170R?
Although the Planet Eclipse Etha 2 and the 170R use a very similar platform, the 170R is designed to be a more high end marker than the Etha 2. The 170R utilizes a aluminum construction, more streamlined sleeker design, and a lower operating pressure than the Etha 2. Additionally the 170R has other "creature comforts" such as a OLEd screen, tool less access to the eye covers / detents, and quicker access to the bolt system.
3/Is the planet Eclipse 170R worth it?
The Planet Eclipse 170R is a great value for what it is! This marker preforms very well and will keep up with everything on the field, it can be converted to a mechanical marker if desired, and it is sleek and comfortable! It is one of our top recommendations for a high end marker under $1,000.
