Hooray they decided not to use the TWS system on the Genesis! There is weight though but it is a total of 12 grams fixed at the nose. The Genesis has a deep sail the standoffs are much longer than say the JTM they almost remind me in length to the New Age.

Prism 4D Superlight Stunt Kite ReviewApr 24, 2012
Just a quick review of the all new Prism 4D superlight stunt kite. I am by no means a pro, so it will take a while for me to take full advantage of what this kite has to offer and appreciate all of its qualities, but it has given me a great first impression with my limited knowledge of stunt kites. This kite and the extra lineset were purchased at chicokites.com. It came with the case and a 50ft lineset from Prism. If you are going to spend the money on a kite like this, go ahead and spend the extra $9 and get the 20ft lineset as well. They will come in handy for indoor and zero wind flying. I bought this kite after reading through the forums at Chico aka GWTWforums.com. Steve had my 4D shipped to me the same day he received them, shipped on Thursday via USPS and received in Monday. It was just released by Prism not long ago and has gotten very good reviews and flight reports. I was looking for a zero/no wind kite to cure the doldrums of inland flying in Ky and this kite will fit the bill perfectly. Hopefully I will have a video of it flying here soon! Sorry for the shaky video, just wanted to get a quick review of it before I headed into work.

Prism E3 stunt kite - 9-jan-2010May 23, 2012
More slow tricks with the E3 that has turned into one of my preferred kites, after the initial disappointment and all the mods to the bridle and my own adjustment to its ways, I'm now very comfortable tricking with it. This video was shot on a very hot (34ºC) summer saturday at Buenos Aires with a very smooth (I guess 8-10 km/h) wind blowing from the river, excellent weather conditions, with the only exception of the cruel mosquitoes that were quite aggressive that morning.
