I recently watched the 2002 World Cup video and saw some guy using a gadjet to fill pods. It had a shoulder strap. Was about the size of two shoe boxes. And had a port at the bottom where the paint came out. Does anyone know where I could get one.
Thanks

Yeah, I've seen em someplace. You could do something yourself with a water jug. Just cut it so you can open up a large secton, dump in paint. Then Just seal it up and pour it like a drink into your pod.

wut i do is empty all my paint into my case or a plastic bag, then just scoop my pod through. But at turnaments we have pod bitches. lol

I have seen two different types of 'commercial' pod fillers (commercial meaning not home-made).
One is the aboved mentions Rocket Pod, looks like a giant funnel. And as stated, Warpig did a write up.
The other is a waterproof neoprene type bag. It was called a Super bag I think. I saw it in some paintball magazine, can't remember which. If I find it again, I'll post the info.

there's a few different designs out there for making your own around on the net. One thing to do would be to go to Warpig's rec talk, and ask if anyone has a design for one.

All that you need to do is get some sort of bottle with a handle (Should be large). And at the top where the liquid would come out, cut off half of that. Then you can just fill that up and easily poor it into your pods or hopper. It is good cause you can put like 500-700 into large ones and fill all your pods and hoppers.
Hope this helps,

Everyone is saying where to buy some. Why would you want to buy one when you can easily make one?

YEP, excellently said Bones, and if u want more capasity, use a pocket knife and some DUCK TAPE! and tape a bunch of bottles together. but the kool thing about the comerical ones is u hang em somewhere and push you pod on it and pull it off when it's done, but persoanly i just pour mine into the box, less mess and u can put it in the shade and keep ur paint fresher/beter
