RGB Critter BT Reviews

The best RGB colour changing flashlight available for light painting photographers and flow artists.

– stephenknightphotography.com

"The RGB Critter BT improves upon what was already the best RGB colour changing flashlight available for light painting photographers and flow artists. The app control makes the Critter BT much easier to control than the Critter 2.0 once the devices are connected. Programming new or editing existing effects presets is also very easy."

EDITOR'S CHOICE - 5/5 STARS

– Photofocus.com

Flow art, light drawing, and light painting of subjects are different branches of the same glow tree. And the RGB Critter BT is flexible enough to do all three very well. Despite not being designed for light painting subjects, the RGB Critter BT shines brightly above the competition. The cost of the light is very fair for what is easily one of the most comfortable, highest-quality RGB flashlights currently on the market. The functionality of this light is heads and shoulders above its predecessor for both ease of use, nearly infinite color selection, and the ability to save custom colors and lists. While it has its flaws for light painting subjects, it’d be impossible not to recommend it highly. In fact, given its price point, it earns an Editor’s Choice.

Great company, great products

I have been whipping for 3 years now. In needing of a new whip, I decided I would invest in a higher quality one for the first time. I went with this brand and I could not be more pleased! I purchased the 200 regular fibers, which is the perfect amount for learning bigger tricks. I also originally purchased the RGB critter 2.0, but I was sent the RGB Critter BT on accident. Customer service was excellent and apologetic and ready to fix my order for me. BUT after further research, I realized the BT was better fit for me so they allowed me to keep this one instead. The app is easier to use than I thought (thus being the reason I originally was going with the 2.0). It has incredible settings and allows me to use more of my creativity to make personal patterns that can go with certain songs that I whip to! It really is an awesome product. Only downside is that the app must be open on your phone in order to the BT critter. Looking forward to the updates that will make this no longer a requirement! But either way, I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone!! :)

A Bright and Versatile Light

This is a wonderfully bright and colorful light with plenty of attachments. The CRI must be pretty high as the light looks pure and bright. The lighted buttons and silicone casing make the light easy to see and use. The color selections are nearly endless and the controls on the app are easy to navigate and use. There are two design flaws that could be improved on. First, the battery cover has worked loose twice for no apparent reason, which shut the light off. Second, the threaded attachments, including the battery end cap, can be difficult to start. Altogether, a great light! I'm looking forward to the update, allowing the light to be used without the app. The photo was my first outdoor test using the Critter BT.

Hi Anthony, Thank you for your review! I'm sorry to hear about an issue with the Battery Door on your RGB Critter BT. We are contacting you by email to help you resolve this issue now. If you find the threaded accessories challenging to install, we recommend removing the O-ring located at the base of these accessories - This will make it easier to install these parts, but the connection between them will be weaker.

This is a MUST HAVE for any light painting enthuisast!

We ran across the RGB Critter BT while surfing videos for light painting. It was during the pre-launch/pre-sale for the RGB Critter. We were impressed with the array of attachments that can be used, and the videos/images already posted of the previous model(s).

We are totally blown away by this tool! The light is superbright, and lights the attachments quite well. The app is very intuitive (iOS version), with enough help on-line to find everything we needed. The light is every solid and well constructed. The accessories feel very durable and not flimsy at all. It's easy to see the team designed and built everything with the idea of light painting & flow specifically in mind, and that they've listened to their users on updates for this version.

We ordered an essentials package, so we ended up with a nice variety of accessories. We added a 2nd battery and a bit whip to round out things. Everything was well packaged, and communication was first rate. We've contacted AOM several times with questions, and have received very prompt service each time, usually within a day.

We were able to use our light right out of the box, and spent time playing with each accessory and watching videos of different techniques. We finally did a shoot with a skull and a flame look. We were super thrilled with how everything came out. We eventually plan to purchase another critter, and have several accessories on our wish list for birthdays, holidays, and such. Love our Critter!
