DIY Connector

I was looking to mate up a 5 gallon bucket full of photography light painting tools that all took a 3/4" pvc male thread. This high quality aluminum part gave me the part I would have needed to make. I just opened up a pvc 1/2" bushing to let this adapter slide inside and then tapped 3 little thumb screw threads onto the 3/4" male pvc hose end part and now have a simple way to use all of those old gizmos I have been collecting for years.

This connector is sturdy and amazing for using your own tools. I highly recommend joining the RBG critter FB page as I am learning a lot for other light painters there. Like this 10" Bubble Acrylic Rod I found out about, it was only $8 on amazon, so with the DIY connector I got a super cool tool for only $23! Got this image my first time using it!

Every time I order something from AOAM, I add a couple of these DIY adapters to the order. Then, they disappear amonst my light painting gear. attached to a homemade tube, a rod, a blade...you get the picture. When the next order is made, I go through the same process again. I expect now that I must have about 10 of them, solidly adding to my collection of tools I can use with my two Critters. They are indispensible!

The connector is extremely versatile. It’s easily fits the critter torch. This makes it very flexible and with an additional homemade adapter fits all my blades, needles, tubes. Would be lost without the connector and torch. I love the effects the torch can produce. I great range of colours and strobes. Many varied combinations.

This is a must have item for your light painting journey. Creativity is your limit.

Lost my original, ordered and received a replacement.

There are at least two side benefits to using this adapter as-is. Since it extends a little, it focuses the light so it doesn’t flood as much. Since the inner portion has the aluminum exposed, the metallic silver coloring intensifies the light and throws it further.

Der DIY Connector ist eine tolle Sache um selbst etwas zu bauen.
Allerdings wäre es schön wenn man wissen würde was für ein Gewinde da benutz wird. Um eine Beschädigung der Lampe zu vermeiden.

Hello Ants on a melon, is it possible to buy the upper adapter (on the Modular Sol Saber), which has an internal thread, individually. So that you can use your tools with your adapter on other tools.

Thanks for all the flexibility you keep adding to these amazing tools!

I ordered a couple of these to make my own blades and they worked out great. You just glue in your new blade in and screw it in to the CRITTER and its solid. And its made of quality aluminum so it just screws right in to the CRITTER.

Great to add other light painting tools that you have

Bought a couple of these nice aluminum adaptors which work perfectly with the Light Painting Paradise tools. Also discovered that they can be used with the T5 fluorescent tube guards with just a minor shim for a very snug fit. Very useful adaptor and a great price for the quality.
