I got this feedgate and it is very nice looking! In my oppinion its the best looking one on the market. Aside from looks it clamps on to your hopper really tight so you don't have to worry about it falling off or moving around. The feed lip is very comfy once your used to it and when your not looking while reloading it really helps you locate the hole. The fins or whatever you want to call them are very flexible and don't seem to wear out easily. The only con i can say and this may only be my feedgate but the bottom two fins closest to my halo power button seem to be stiffer and catch two balls from every pod so out of a pod i lose two balls unless i just nudge them in with my finger. Maybe in time they will give way easier. But don't hesitate to buy this product because it doesn't wear out like i see crowns doing.

Okay. When I was walking around World Cup, I went to the Exalt tent. I saw the new feedgate, and was very interested. After they showed me how well it worked, I bought it.
Pros:
-VERY easy to get the paint in. All you have to do is drop a ball, and it will fall in. You don't have to force it like you do with a lot of other speed feeds.
-Does not wear out. If you have a crown, you will have noticed that it wears out after using it for awhile, and the crown starts to stick down. The Feedgate does not wear out, and it stays in top condition.
- Very strong plastic... Or grip... You can hold your whole setup by the speedfeed, and it won't fall off.
- It does not spill much paint. Unless you are running upside down, you are not going to loose a lot of paint. I estimate about 1-5 balls in one game.
-The Exalt feedgate is only 15$, which is very cheap.
Cons:
- The feed lip. Exalt made this feed lip so it would make reloading easier. I think I just need time to get used to it, but so far it makes it harder for me to reload.
Conclusion:
Overall, this is a great speedfeed. I have used Virtue crowns, and this in my opinon is a way better product. It does not wear out, it is as easy to get paint in, and it spills just about the same amount as paint. However, it is cheaper, and not to mention that when the Crown wears out, A LOT of paint comes out. Honestly, I think Exalt did a great job on the feedgate. Check out my review on it.

Affordable: At World Cup (where I purchased this) it retailed for $15
Well-built: The feedgate, when attached to a hopper, will not come off unless a lot of force is used. It will stay on if a ball hits it or you slide wrong; however, if needed you can put your hand inside the hopper and pull it off easily
Proficient: Balls flow into the feedgate easily, a minimum amount of paint (0-2) will come out - unless you purposely try to force balls out by putting your hopper upside down and shaking (where you may possibly get 3 out of the hopper)
Looks: This is the only feedgate that I like how it looks, the lime green really shows out, I hope they come out with other colors

Had an ultra soft crown but the fingers started sagging. Had a standard crown but the fingers were too stiff & they hadn't softened up like they're supposed to. And i had my crown shot off from some bonus balling.
So i bought a used Exalt feedgate. Lucky for me, they fit on the adaptors for Crowns (i've got a Vlo jr). However, it didn't clamp securely so there's a bit of grip tape on the edge.
Definitely easier to drop paint inside than the standard crown but doesn't sag like the ultrasoft crown. And it holds paint in just fine. I didn't do an upside down shake test but i don't play front a lot, either, so i'm not too concerned with it. I did hold it upside down and all the paint stayed.
I had to get used to it, though, as i was used to slightly pressing my pod into the standard so the balls would drop, even though i still lost a handful doing that. But pressing in on the Exalt makes me lose a handful as well but found just pouring them in works best. But that also renders the lip on the edge pointless, because my pod never has to touch it.
Overall, i like it more than the crown, but it's still doesn't seem to be the perfect speed feed lid.

I purchased one of these Exalt Feedgates a few months ago, and have had nothing but good experiences with them. A nice feature of this product is that it has the lip at the bottom for easy loading. Another nice feature is that although it does have less surface area than other speed feeds, It does a better job than any other speed feed. The only problem I found was that the bolt that you tighten seems to have gotten stuck (at least for me, and had a hard time both unscrewing and screwing in the bolt, and ended up needing to be cut by a dremel tool. Would I recommend this to someone in the market for a speed feed? Most definitely.

I have been given a Exalt Feedgate to test for the Dye Rotor hopper recently. Constructed of a neon green colored rubber/synthetic material and very flexible. The rubber material is very durable and does not tear easily.
To install this product on your Rotor hopper you will have to take off the top part of the shell to access the five screws the hold on the color kit and top lid, remove the screws and take off the panel to access the pin that keeps the lid in place. I used a straight hole punch to push out the pin holding on the lid. Be careful to not loose the pin or the little spring for the lid. If you ever resell your hopper the buyer will more than likely want these items Once you have the lid removed you will see there are little nodules that the Feedgate is designed to slip on to. Carefully push the Feedgate onto these and put the color panel back on, again you will want to take your time to make sure the feed stays in place while you reinsert the five screws. Last step in the assembly process is to put both shell halves back together and to then test this little bugger out.exalt feedgate (2)
With this version of the speed feed you will see it is very easy on paintballs and the soft fingers allow you to be able to drop a ball into the hopper without any difficulty at all. The flexibility of the fingers are an asset and detriment to this item in my opinion. While they appear to be made of a superior material to some of the other feed systems out there on the market they do allow paintballs to fall out if you should ever find your hopper upside down and being shaken at more than a gentle pace. Of course I do not know of many paintball players that turn their markers upside down to shoot at their opponents so you should be okay while out there on the field. The great thing about this feed system is it is internally a part of the hopper so it will not pop up when you dive or slide on the field. This is a great design indeed. You will never have to worry about losing your Feedgate ever!
Long term usability seems to be something that will be great for this particular item as those who use feed systems, other than the standard hopper lid, will have the ease of adding round after round to their hoppers with never a care in the world.
This writer would give the Exalt Rotor Feedgate a B+
The good:
Ease of Use
Ease of Install
Flexible fingers
The bad:
Balls fall out with aggressive play
Conclusion: For the extremely low cost of this feed system it is well worth the price to give one of these a try. As compared to other feed systems on the market this is one of the better products I have tested. I have been testing speed systems since the original Speed feeds a few years ago. This is to date one of the better ones I have tried.

Exalt really kicked some butt with this one. I had one on my halo, then one on my pulse, and now one on my rotor. My backup magna is in the mail, and take a wild guess what speedfeed I'm getting. Grips tightly to the loader, passes the upside-down shake test, and is built well.
