The video shows the first test of the earth funnel to fill a 3m Superadobe bag. It feels easy to use, is light and allows the user to move and position the Superadobe bag with one hand and load earth using the other hand. The first 0.5 meters the weight of the bag is not enough to pull the bag off of the funnel so you have to do it by hand but after that it has enough weight to anchor itself so you can just slide the funnel along and it lays the bag for you.

Next steps for future development based on first test:
