The Ego series has evolved tremendously since its launch in 2004. However, with the release of the Ego11, Planet Eclipse reached the limits of the existing system. It became evident that a revolutionary step was necessary for any future improvement in performance. Thus, the LV Platform was created. The Progression of the Planet Eclipse LV Platform over the years is truly remarkable. It all started when the Planet Eclipse LV1 was first released in 2013.

Ego LV1 (2013)

Introducing the Ego LV1: A Revolution in Paintball Markers

The Ego LV1 is a cutting-edge paintball marker that combines proven components from its predecessors with new innovations to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience.

Drawing from the successful Ego11 model, the LV1 incorporates the reliable solenoid valve equipped with Solenoid Flow Restriktors (SFRs) and the Circuit Board with LV-adapted firmware. These components provide a solid foundation for the LV1's development.

However, the real breakthrough lies in the LV1's "Lever-Valve" system, which sets it apart from other markers in the market. Unlike traditional poppet valve markers where the hammer lies directly on the impact valve axis, Planet has reimagined this design. By slightly raising the LV1's hammer and reducing the distance between the hammer and bolt axis, they have minimized the tilting forces that often cause a noticeable "kick" when firing.

To achieve this, Planet has engineered a specially shaped lever made of hardened steel. This lever not only requires less force from the ram to open the valve, but it also allows the ram axis to be decoupled from the valve axis. This innovative design enables precise adjustment of the valve opening characteristics.

The result is remarkable. In a time when spool valve markers have become increasingly efficient and "kickless," the LV1 reigns supreme. It offers not only exceptional efficiency but also a smooth, almost "kickless" shot that rivals the quietness of a spool valve marker.

Ego LV1.1 (2015)

Experience the ultimate precision and performance with the Ego LV1.1.

EGO LV2 (2022)

Introducing the LV2: The Ego, a game-changing marker that has redefined the standards of performance and reliability in the world of paintball. Planet Eclipse has once again raised the bar with this revolutionary marker that pushes the boundaries of improvement.

The Ego LV2 boasts an all-new body design that increases internal volume and features a new Cure FT bolt design. This results in lower operating pressures, quieter shots, and an unparalleled shooting experience. It is truly the finest stacked tube marker ever created.

One of the standout features of the Ego LV2 is its hoseless construction, which has been highly anticipated by Ego fans. But the advancements don't stop there. The marker also features tool-less wraparound grips, a stunning HPR and LPR package that enhances stability, and a thumb gap for improved maneuverability.

In addition, the Ego LV2 offers quick and easy access to key operational features such as the battery, MME electronics with USB, eye covers, and adjustable flow controls. The user-serviceable solenoid allows for further customization.

But what truly sets the LV2 apart is its performance. Each marker is individually set up in the factory and is ready to compete straight out of the box. However, for those who love to tinker, the LV2 offers endless adjustability options. With HPR, LPR, Dwell, rammer speed control, and optional rammer weights, you can fine-tune your LV2 to achieve the playing experience and results you desire.

The Ego LV2 represents the latest evolution of an iconic marker design that has captivated paintball players for years. It carries on the legacy of its predecessors and is sure to inspire a new generation of Ego enthusiasts. Get ready to join the ranks of Egomaniacs and experience a new level of paintball excellence.
