You, sir, are a true test engineer and an amazing human being for sharing this valuable information! Your content is greatly appreciated among the spearfishing community all around the world! Keep it up! =)

YOur tests are always revealing and well made. I also love to consider all your efforts made in these yearsa as really referencing. Thanks a million.

thank your. I really appreciate your time to answer

great video friend! you have resolved many cafeteria disputes among spearfishermen and opened the eyes of many others. it would be nice if you could test omer and mares pneumatic spearguns.comparison between them and between other sling guns.keep up the great work!

Please make a video testing the Pathos Sniper roller 95 speargun. Great job generally, thanks!

Very interesting test!

thank you. I really appreciated your help

Thank you for the research. In minute 22:05 the main problem of the drop is that the bands are stretched to third position. Try this experimental groups: 1º: stretch at first position, not third 2º: stretch to second position Compare 3º: Use shorter shaft with the best stretch position found before 4º: Use default faceted pathos shaft with cone and without cone

Thanks for the great vid! Very interesting that the conventional speargun shoots better, could the pool water affect it in some way? I am really interested about your custom grip, how do you make it?

Hey mate. Love the work, ive got a 110 laser carbon roller, what rubber would you recommend with a RA 7.5mm shaft.

Thanks a lot, man! You did a hell of a job! I would be glad to do some tests (and hopefully will) with a shorter shaft... We know we need AT LEAST 7 mm shaft to be able to TAKE (not just wound) a big fish. Roller recoil is 2 times less at all other things equal because acceleration time is 2 times longer (with a pre-strech)... This allows heavier band load and, if properly done, longer killing distance... BUT this is all theory, it needs proper verification. Thanks again.

First things first.. Thank you for super well executed tests. Very informative and interesting! I'm a freediver just getting into spearfishing and I'm looking to get a smaller gun for reef / shallow waters in the Med. where I spend a couple of months a year. Even though I'm after a smaller gun I still want it to be powerful and accurate and the Pathos 82 gun in this test seem to be exactly what I'm looking for! Since I'm a noob at the spearfishing thing I don't understand 100% of the lingo, and I hope you can help clear a few thing out for me! 1. The gun in the test, is that the Pathos Pro 82, or is it the Pathos Open 82? Can't really tell in the vid. 2. The "small ID bands", is that bands with small inner diameter? Or is "ID" something else? 3. Does the "@ 360%" mean a elongation / band stretch of 360%? 4. What bands (make) are used and how long are the bands cut to achieve that stretch? Sorry for all the questions but you seem to have all the answers, and I just hope you can spare a few minutes of you time to answer them. :) Thanks and All the best! / E

Your shooting to the right is constant, I think it is how your finger is placed on the trigger. THe trigger should be on the cushion half way through the first segment of your finger. If it's on the tip - you'll shoot left, if it is on the "bend" of the first segemnt as I suspect in your case, you will pull to the right.Exactly the same factor with pistols and revolvers.

Hello! Thank you for your video!very interesting

I been wondering sometime, how long my 14mm rubber would last after using it for a bout 1 month or 2 month for loading it at 360%? how long do you think rubbers like primeline would last for?

Thanks for the video! I put a MVD roller head in my Cressi Geronimo 90 with 50cm 16mm bands and a 130 cm 6mm tri-cut Cressi shaft. Do you reckon it's a good setup? If not, what would you recommend?

Hello majdq8 ... great videos and information about the performance of different spear guns .. I am looking at a omer cayman E.T. in 95 or 105 and at a seac guun 30 in 95 or 105 actual length to get is still TBD. but was wondering if you have done any testing on one of these and what where your impressions, on power and accuracy and ease of use. thanks a lot for any feedback. cheers

Hi, your videos are excellent, I've seen almost all of them. I just bought a pathos laser open pro 110 aluminum. the shaft 6.75 pathos did not make a good impression on me. the twin bands pathos 16 seem to me to be of poor quality. What setup do you recommend? Here we fish barracudas, groupers, amberjakts, tarpoon. My English is terrible. Greetings from Venezuela.

Súper fan of your videos and hard data, thank you !, Did you evert test the invert roller? I’m very interested in inverts

Nice video! How did you make the cone on the shaft?

Many thanks for this video....very informative! I recently bought a new Pathos 82 pro (closed muzzle, aluminum tube with open guide, D'Angelo I). Factory setup is with an 120cm 6.5mm faceted point shaft and a single 19mm 26cm black pathos band. 1) In your opinion, if I want to keep a single band setup for simplicity and quick reload, which combination of band dia/length & shaft dia/length would you chooce for max speed/highest accuracy/minimum recoil ? I hunt very shallow (hole hunting/shallow ambush) in rocky areas for small/medium white fish mostly so my setup needs to be able for quick max speed shots but also be able handle some shots on rocks/holes without my shaft bending every time... 2) gun seems a bit heavy on hand during ambush...do you think that changing the tube with a carbon one will help me obtain more neutral buoyancy?

Very good tests man thanks your efforts. Which camera do you use ? I like picture quality.

hi! how did u setup the lower part of the roller phatos, the pre-tensioner? with glue ? or u use other thing??

how can i get the small id bands?is there any online store that sells them? thank you for your tims

thanks for the perfect video!i have one omer cayman 2000 100cm alouminio simple barrell butt new allmoste with reel omer comple.Iwant ask your opinion if i can convert with pathos roller kit"!!worth to do it or not?i wont your set up instraction!!thanks!!

OK. I understand. but. talking about hammer head spear gun 110. 150cm shaft. you prefer 6.75. ?? or 7mm. thanks and sorry about to many questions

Hello!!!I have pathos sniper 95 circular...What is the best setup for this gun....The first setup with 2×16 aand 6,75(1,30) had much recoil....Thanks

your videos are great i ve learned many things thanx to you ! i have pathos open pro 100 aluminum gun...combines it with primeline 14mm small id (cut @3.6) on 140cm 6.75mm pathos shaft, everything is great but muzzle part of the gun sinks down which is annoying :( if i change shaft shorter as 130cm 6,75mm or 7mm could it help? i dont wanna loose accuracy or shooting distance...thanks

At 6.00 what brand are the blue rubbers? Also nice test!

very good !! bravoo !!!

Mate I’m a noob to the sport and I bought a pathos laser roller carbon 100, I’m not gonna be able to do the in depth testing you do ! Should I do anything to my gun or leave as is stock ! Is the pathos roller head the best or is there better upgrade .

have you tried the test shot with a booster band on the pathos roller? They sell the stock laser roller gun with the 14mm booster band, and the 16mm roller band.

Hello! Thank you for your videos! please tell me, do you recall about the pathos sniper? 105 long

perfect!! the C4 shoot like a dream thx alot man!! I just bought the pathos 82 :) do you think 120 long shaft @7 mm with 2 x 14.5 sigal would be a good setup? also changed the stainless steels prices on the muzzle of the urukay and replaced them with carbon, will send u some ohptos if I can :)

Hi Majd. Just one quick question if u can. Set up my 90pathos pro(dangelo 1) with a 7mm 120cm sigalsub shaft and x2 14mm bands. Do u think installing the pathos floater will help with recoil? Thanks a lot

wow! I had not seen this video ! I do not know how but the video had escaped me .... as always , really clear and interesting (indeed astounding ) . Thanks ! One thing I noticed , correct me if I'm wrong .... In the final part with 2 small id 14 and arrow from 125x7 handle " Angel 1 " were not modified with epoxy and fired anyway very well ..... Then, with arrow 130x6 , 5 , you have changed the handle ( as for pathos 130 ) .... It was necessary for the 82 ? From the videos it seems to me that as long as you are using shaft to 7 mm, the "simple ergonomic grip"(like angelo 1) can be sufficient...

Can you give me an advice. I want to change my sniper to roller but i first have to change the floater. Do you have any idea how to do it

Thank you.

The standard setup of pathos 82 is with 19mm band and 6,5 shaft, the 20mm and 6,75 is overkill for such a small gun. WIth 17,5 bands and 6,25 shaft it would work even better. I have a pathos 90 with 2 14mm bands and 6,5 shaft and its shots are very accurate.

Nice videos!Its a good set up 2x14 with 6.50 at pathos 90 pro?

What do you think of the floater? Do you think on a classic pathos carbon gun it will somehow reduce recoil and be more accurate? Keep up the good videos! Cheers!

I have a 90 cm pathos open laser pro gun and I was thinking of having the roller kit installed...but with th video I saw that I just have to change he 17,5 rubber with two 14 mm..

What do you think is the right setup (rubbers) for a weapon with shaft 6.75 x 140cm (the gun is pathos laser carbon 100cm)

Thank you sir for all your videos. I have a question how do you adjust for windage in a roller gun. My MVD in stock set up is shooting low and to the right. Low probably six inches at 4 meters and six inches right. I have not been able to figure out how to adjust point of aim. Tried new spears with no change. Have shortened the bands, have lightened the bands, no drastic change. It has the stock mvd rubbers and it is a very difficult gun to load. Is it just a matter of putting thicker 16mm rubbers on and making it longer than stock bands.

Hiya, keep going with these reviews. So interesting. You are the only one does this, so well. Just out of interest what's the best setup for a 85 sling pathos sniper, not roller?

I got a hammer head gun size 110 with 7 mm shaft. recommended two 16 mm band? or two 14 mm band. thanks. hope answer

hi again. I just bought an pathos sniper r size 115. I have trouble to charge. I think the bands are short. it has two bands. short and large. both 16 mm. one has 70 cm. and other has 1.45 cm without wishbone only rubber. do you know is that right, ? there are something wrong ? hope you can help me. you know the right size ? thank you

another question please. which size exactly each band for my hammer ??

Hi. thanks for video. I have a question - it is possible to apply this modification (two bands of 14 mm and an arrow 6,50-6,75) on any gun of 82 cm?

Hey bro, do you have all this data in a spreadsheet?

why you prefer the 6.75 ?? I been watching your videos and always say something about the mass and penetration with 7 mm shafts. thank you. hope your answer. I got the small ID bands 14 mm. Now I need to buy the exactly shaft.

Hi again 😁 would 14.5 sigal extream with 7 mm shaft at 125 long but be good or the 14.5 is a bet 2 strong ? Cut will be at 3.6?

Thx. Have your thoughts on this roller vs classic setup with 14mm bands changed at all since this video was made?

hi. !! about my hammer head 110. I know about the bands small I D. 14 mm. Now I wanna know about the shaft. which is better for that gun. 7 mm. or. 6.7. thank you.

Hello, I like your video very much, I will buy a new harpoon, how do you think I should do the combination of 82cm aluminum? Thank you from now

Is that sniper roller and laser roller? Or you fix the roller with your self ?

thanks a lot. and where can I get that específic band? the problem is I live in Mexico . you can give me some address to ask for it. thank you a lot. your videos help so much

Super!! Спасибо!!!

halla majdq8 good test but i still waiting for c4 test thanks

Ordinary things makes life easier

So all in all for a 82cm pathos gun my best bet is going for a dual shark fin shaft with two 14mm bands?

👍 super

could u please tell me how you modified the pathos shaft?

Check the new Pathos sniper-r (r for roller)115..it's amazing!!

Why did the 16mm have less pen than 14.5mm?

i think the problem with pathos guns is the trgger maybe is too hard for you....

What is terminal velocity?

Hello. I have a question wich band do you use ? i dont find this bands. When i was search in google i find this band. www.amazon.com/Speargun-Primeline-Rubber-Tubing-Select/dp/B00PPNM474?th=1&psc=1 if you are use this band ı order to this band thanks for reply

I think it is losing strength because of Line release :) ..me on my gun I missed a lot of fish in order to line release ..

I don't have anymore pathos now all my guns are demka...

Red letters/words are almost impossible to read. Pity.

OK. I understand. but. talking about hammer head spear gun 110. 150cm shaft. you prefer 6.75. ?? or 7mm. thanks and sorry about to many questions
