$971.95

2 lights · 49 pieces

Pro is $550.00 more than Starter. That buys a second light engine and 29 more tools, so you can paint two colors in one exposure.

Maximum creative control for serious light painters.

Our most complete kit, for photographers who already shoot long exposures and want the full toolset in one box. Both RGB Critter BT Light Engines are included, no light engine to buy separately, along with nearly all of our light painting accessories. Run the pair from one app, match colors exactly across both, and save presets to each light so the whole rig works phone-free.

The three plain Light Painting Tubes are bare, with no threads at either end, so the adapters included here are what mount them and carry anything else you add. The Butterfly, Honeycomb and Dots Combo tubes are laser cut, so the pattern itself shows up in the trail.

How the tubes go together

Two RGB Critter Tube Adapters are included, one for each light, so both Critters can drive a tube at the same time, or chain the tubes into one long tool.

Twist the RGB Critter Tube Adapter (Long) onto the front of a Critter, push a tube into its socket and lock the two set screws.
Clamp a Modular Saber Tube Adapter onto the far end. It adds an AOAM female thread there, so twist-on accessories can go on a plain tube.
Twist the included plastic plug into that thread. It carries a reflector that sends light back down the tube, so the whole tube reads brighter.
Use a Modular Saber Tube Connector to join two tubes end to end, or the Critter Connector to put the two lights back to back.

Features

Run up to 10 lights at once from the app

Photosensitivity warning

Strobe modes flash rapidly and can trigger seizures, even in people with no history of epilepsy. Stop if anyone feels unwell, and never shine it into anyone's eyes.

Analog technology

Many color lights dim by flickering on and off, which a long exposure can record as broken trails. The RGB Critter BT can drive its LEDs with a steady analog signal instead, so every stroke comes out solid and vivid.

Switch it on in the free app. Analog runs while the app is open and connected to the light.

Zwei sind zu wenig ❤️

Hurra, mein zweiter Critter ist da! Eine fantastische Taschenlampe. Die Farben lassen keine Wünsche offen. Auch die Möglichkeiten sind Großartig! Die Programmierung der Farben nach Bedarf, Vorliebe oder Situation ist wunderbar, und doch einfach zu bedienen. Vielen Dank für den tollen Service und die freundliche und kompetente Hilfe. Keine Frage bleibt offen 😊. Bis bald 🙋🏻‍♀️

Hallo Dwentzel,

das hat uns ein Lächeln ins Gesicht gezaubert 😊 Zwei Critter sind definitiv besser als einer!

Es freut uns sehr, dass dir die Farben und die vielen Möglichkeiten so gut gefallen und dass alles einfach zu bedienen ist. Vielen Dank auch für die lieben Worte zu unserem Support.

Viel Spaß beim Kreativsein und melde dich jederzeit gerne wieder!

Amazingly Creative!

I've tried a few other light sources but nothing comes close to the RGB Critter BT flashlight. The build quality is amazing. The possibilities are endless with the most beautiful and vivid colors. The versatility is exceptional with both the pre-loaded modes and even more so using the DIY function via the app to create your own unique colors and patterns. If that weren't enough, customer service is absolutely the best! Indigo has been so much help answering my questions and encouraging me as I'm new to Light Painting. The attached picture shows how I used the RGB Critter BT flashlight with an 8in Modular Sol Sabre and Orb attachment.

Hi Cindy, thank you so much for the wonderful review.

I’m really glad you’re enjoying the RGB Critter BT and exploring light painting with it. Your setup sounds awesome, and it was a pleasure helping you get started.

Indigo :)

Great kit

Very Very happy with the kit. I'm just getting started and these are the perfect tools!!

I can recommend it, all my questions were answered in detail.

Thank you, Martin! Glad we could help answer your questions and get you set up 😊 We really appreciate the recommendation and hope you have an awesome time creating with the Light Painting Pro Kit!

I'm still getting to know the products, but my first impression was great and the first photo shoot was fun.

long distance, great experience

I ordered from Germany, and although the team had to initially stop my delivery because of new components that didn't meet specification, the order arrived safely and reliably, with helpful communication in between.
The Critter BT flashlight itself really is a well designed and well made tool, and I enjoy it very much. It won't be long before I order further accessories.

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding, Stefan. We really appreciate you sticking with us through that delay, and we’re glad to hear the Critter BT was worth the wait. Looking forward to sending some new accessories your way soon.

— Indigo

Very nice kit! I don't like the fact that no bag is added with this product. The app can be frustrating because it constantly searches for your devices when you attempt to pair them. That could be worked on! I live in Canada, and the order took a while to come here due to the batteries being in the box. They returned to the seller, and I had to pay twice 200$ for customs. That's why I give 4 stars. Amazing product!!!

Thank you for the thoughtful review. Glad you like the kit. Thanks for the suggestion about including a bag. Regarding the app constantly searching, this is by design because you can pair up to 10 RGB Critter BTs at once. We can also review the Canadian customs charges with you. Please email us with your order number and we will help.

Made with the RGB Critter

It's the perfect tool for bringing my artistic visions to life

“Each of my photographs begins in complete darkness, with light added stroke by stroke, just like painting on a canvas. I need a flashlight that's bright, vibrant and reliable, and that's why the RGB Critter BT is my go-to choice.”
