RGB Critter BT accessory

WRITE REVIEW

The Sol Saber Tube uses impact-resistant tubing built for real dueling, and emits smooth, evenly distributed light.

The White Saber Twist-On Cap is in the box with this tube, at no extra cost. Thread it onto the tip for a brighter blade, and push a Flow Cap over the top of it if you want to run both.

Needs the RGB Critter Tube Adapter and an RGB Critter flashlight, both sold separately.

Highlights

Impact-resistant tube for real dueling
Smooth, evenly distributed light
Pushes into the RGB Critter Tube Adapter and locks with two set screws
Includes the Saber Twist-On Cap in White, at no extra cost. The tip end is threaded from the factory, so the cap goes straight on and its built-in reflector bounces light back down the tube for a brighter, fuller blade. Sol ships the White cap, and the Honeycomb, Butterfly and Stellar tubes ship the Clear one
The two end caps stack, so it is never one or the other. Thread the Twist-On Cap on first, then push a Flow Cap over the top of it. Run either cap on its own, or both together
Light painting tubes are a different part: 5 to 29 inch have no threads and cannot take a Twist-On Cap at all, and only the 36 inch is threaded
Ships with a protective silicone cap on both ends to keep dust and dirt out in transit. Those are packaging, not a Flow Cap

How it connects

Twist the RGB Critter Tube Adapter onto the front of your RGB Critter.
Push this tube into the adapter's socket.
Tighten the adapter's two set screws with the hex key that comes with it. The six openings along the top of the adapter are light ports, not screws.

Parts you may need

RGB Critter Tube Adapter (required). The mounting end of the tube has no thread, so this is what holds it on your Critter. It twists onto the Critter's front, the tube pushes into its socket, and two set screws lock it down. Skip it only if you already own one.

Compatible with all RGB Critter Flashlights (sold separately).

Brilliant!

The modular sol savers have been a great addition to my light painting kit. Lightweight and very well thought out and made. I can’t wait to get a couple more sizes!

12" MODULAR SOL SABER

This sol saber is very nice quality! It's sturdy and well made! I got this image my first night out. I am in love with AOAM tools and the critter, wow oh wow, thank you for improving my light painting with your light and tools!

Super Fun Tool

I've had the 47" Sol saber for a few weeks now, and have loved it so far!
The material is pretty resilent, and can take a bit of knocking around, which is great for waving something so long around in the dark.
There's some light fall off due to the length, but that is to be expected.

Lighting Up The Night With AOAM's RGB Critter

As a light painting photographer, I've experimented with a myriad of tools and gadgets to bring my visions to life. But nothing has quite matched the versatility, customization, and sheer brilliance of Ants on a Melon's RGB Critter.

The RGB Critter is more than just a flashlight; it's a modular system that opens up a world of possibilities. The ability to attach a variety of accessories, from the Critter Connectors to the Lumi and Sol Sabers, means I can adapt and evolve my toolkit to suit any creative scenario. The Inverse Critter Connector even allows me to double up on the light show, creating a symphony of color that's twice as mesmerizing.

One of the standout features of the RGB Critter is its customization. The color palette is programmable, offering a spectrum of hues that can be tailored to any artistic vision. The multiple lighting modes add another layer of flexibility, allowing me to play with strobes, fades, and pulses to create dynamic and captivating light paintings.

But what truly sets the RGB Critter apart is its performance. The rechargeable battery ensures that I can work through the night without worrying about power. The build quality is robust, designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use while remaining lightweight and comfortable to handle.

In my experience, Ants on a Melon's RGB Critter is simply the best product for the job. It's not just a tool; it's a partner in my creative process, helping me to paint the night with light and color. If you're a light painting artist looking to elevate your work, I cannot recommend the RGB Critter highly enough. It's a game-changer, a light show in the palm of your hand, and an essential addition to any light painting toolkit.

Ants On A Melon Modular System

I have recently received a number of Ants on a Melon Modular system tools. Being an earlyish adopter of the system, not Kickstarter but soon after, I have always been impressed with the quality of the tools. These are no different. The build quality of the adapters is excellent as is the quality of the sabres that I have received. The ability to combine different textures is amazing. Really looking forward to trying the multiple combinations that are now possible, sabres and blades together. The shortened tools, i.e. 8 inch length also makes it easier to use the tools in smaller spaces. Great from my point of view as I will be able to try things in my small garage studio space in the summer months without hitting the roof. Delivery to the UK was quick. All here within 7 days of ordering. Honestly not much difference between UPS and DHL in terms of delivery time, as I have used both options. Both offer really good tracking. If you are looking at these and thinking will I try these? I would say if you have a Critter 2 and you are a light painter expand your toy box with the modular options. If you are new to light painting and looking a the Critter 2 the modular option give you great entry into lots of toys.

Always creative

I now have collected a variety of AOM accessories for my light painting photography, and have shared with others in local clubs and these things are a huge hit with all involved. I will be using the new longer Sol Sablers for a light painting workshop with a local photography club this Friday and we have a lot of eager members that want to see, touch and use the RGB Critter and tools. .

Sol saber

Absolutely amazing tube to work perfectly with the Critter torch. Superb lighting! Thank you and can’t wait to order more!

yay

yaya!

New to Light Painting

I'm new to light painting and purchased the sol saber as my first light painting tool. I have to say I love the fluid movement of the saber and the versatility to make so many different shapes depending on how you move it. I look forward to using it more along with other light painting tools from ants on a melon!

Hi Susan, we're thrilled to hear you love the Light Painting Tube! Thanks for sharing your positive feedback. Enjoy creating with it!

36 Inch (92cm)

Klasse!

Eine super Röhre, vielseitig verwendbar. Vielen Dank.

Vielen Dank, Dana! Es freut uns sehr, dass dir die Light Painting Tube gefällt. Viel Spaß beim kreativen Einsatz!

Hoping that mine was an anomaly, but the film inside is not smooth and creates a pattern on some of this that is not supposed to be there and is not working for the cosplay. I will be returning this.

Crazy bright sabers!

Absolutely love these sabers and how bright they are! I own 3 different kinds (honeycomb, Sol, and Butterfly) and mix and match them to make double sided sabers. My friends and I bash them around and have never had any issues. Super durable and worth every penny!!

Sol Saber accessories

I haven’t had a chance yet to use, but I have to say I enjoy the setup… I have many light painting tools…and being able to attach different accessories together is going to a blast for sure
Just trying to get the app down, as to understand and be familiar..

Hey Kevin, thanks for the kind words! Stoked to hear you're enjoying the setup so far!

Take your time getting familiar with the app, and feel free to contact us at support@antsonamelon.com if you need any help. We're always happy to help.

Have fun creating!

Sol / 30 Inch (76cm)

Needs a quick disconnect feature.

Great devise, but I need to be able to switch between tools quickly, or have several of the Critters lying around, which could get rather pricey.

Critter BT sol saber package

I am excited to add the Crotter BT to my light painting arsenal! Buying the sol saber package helped realize a cost savings which is always appreciated.

Requested to provide a review.

Unfortunately, until the app is available for android devices, I am unable to use the BT and it sits dormant, gathering dust! I have Critters they are awesome, and I hope the BT's are equally good..... time will tell.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to announce that the app is now available for download using this link: https://antsonamelon.com/pages/ants-on-a-melon-app.

A welcome addition.

The Sol Saber has a lot of light painting possibilities. The light patterns of the Critter will take a while to memorize ( some favorites at least ), but that's part of the fun. So far, I'm loving it.

Not great

It was delivered to the wrong address contact customer service with no response. Then realize it’s a paper weight and can’t be used without an additional part. : /

Really awesome gear, just be aware

WE HAVE SOME ANSWERS!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need an RGB Critter Flashlight to use this?

Which RGB Critters is it compatible with?

All RGB Critter Flashlights. The mounting end of the tube is bare, so it mounts with the RGB Critter Tube Adapter (sold separately): the adapter twists onto the front of the Critter, the tube pushes into its socket, and two set screws lock it down with the hex key that comes with the adapter. The tip end is threaded from the factory, so the Saber Twist-On Cap threads straight on.

Is it strong enough for real dueling?

Does it include the cap?
