It's not necessary, but it will improve the "fluid" feel of the fibers as they wrap around your body. We recommend using the "Swiss Navy" silicone lubricant. See our tutorial on "Light Whip Cleaning & Lubrication" for more.

Product details

The BitWhip is a festival-ready fiber optic whip with a 360° rotating bearing for tangle-free spins and a grippy handle for secure control. Its soft yet durable end-glow fibers (up to 5.5 ft) shine brightly, creating stunning light trails. Powered by the RGB Critter BT (light source), it delivers vibrant colors and effects—easily controlled with or without the app, no button combos needed.

One of our favorite features, and one no other flow prop offers, is the ability to transfer modes from the Ants on a Melon app to your BitWhip, letting you access your custom modes even when you’re not connected. This gives you the freedom to perform without staying linked to the app—perfect for live shows and festivals!

I love my light whip – it’s seriously awesome! The colors are vibrant, the patterns are mesmerizing, and it flows so smoothly when I dance with it. It makes me feel so free and connected to the music, and every time I bring it out at a rave or show, people stop and stare.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is everything I need included in this product?

How durable are the fibers?

The fiber optics used for this product (Standard version) are high-grade 0.75mm end glow fiber optic cables and they are very durable and will withstand all kinds of rugged use.
We have been sourcing fiber optics from the same manufacturer for over 10 years now and our fiber optic products are widely considered the most durable on the market.
Sparkle Fibers show tiny twinkling lights along the length of the end glow fibers. They are more prone to breaking. Please be gentle with the Sparkle Fiber version of the Fiber Optic Costume Kit to avoid unwanted fiber breakage.

What are Sparkle fibers?

What's the difference between the 140, 200, and 300 fiber options?

All fiber heads are superb for Light Whipping! Select higher fiber count heads for off-body whipping, rope dart style & lacing/tracing. The extra weight & thickness provide a superior fiber grip and movements similar to staff spinning.
We recommend using lower fiber counts for more tech related flow. Lower fiber counts offer greater flexibility and are perfect for creating shapes such as triangles, lines, & circles.

Do you have any tutorials on to use the BitWhip?

Can I connect 2 BitWhips back-to-back?

Can I cut the fibers to my desired length?

Really high quality materials and the light is super beautiful.

Bitwhip

After doing a fair amount of research and browsing different sites I decided to place an order with AOAM. I purchased the 300-fibre Bitwhip + Critter, along with an extra battery. This isn’t my first time ordering from abroad, so I’m well aware that import charges can apply—but in all my previous experiences, sellers have always been upfront about this during checkout.

In AOAM’s case, there was no mention of any additional fees, and since I paid a substantial amount for shipping, I reasonably assumed any import charges were included. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Just days before the delivery was due, I received an unexpected bill for customs charges.

When I contacted AOAM to clarify, I was met with a frustrating lack of accountability. To make matters worse, I received an email stating that the extra battery I had paid for would not be shipped due to international restrictions on sending single batteries. Again—this was never mentioned at checkout, nor anywhere on the site. Had I known, I might have reconsidered the purchase or at least adjusted my order.

Now, I’m left with a whip and no spare battery. If I want to get one, I’ll have to buy two and face another round of import charges. It feels like a system designed to extract as much as possible from international customers.

In total, I’ve spent over $290 on a single whip, and I can honestly say it wasn’t worth the hassle. Very disappointed with the overall experience.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand international shipping can be frustrating at times. Due to carrier regulations, we’re unable to ship standalone batteries internationally. We’ve since added a clearer notice about this to the battery product page. Customs fees and import taxes are determined by your country and are the customer’s responsibility, as explained on our International Orders page.

If you'd like help sourcing a compatible replacement battery in your country, feel free to email us at support@antsonamelon.com—we’re happy to assist.

To help save on shipping costs and reduce customs fees, we recommend using our free UPS Mail Innovations shipping option. This method is available during checkout and also outlined on our International Orders page.

We appreciate your support and understanding.

Bitwhip

I loveeee it even though I don’t know how to use it. But it is so cool I use it for therapy (me time)

Thanks so much, Rosalva! We love that you're enjoying your BitWhip, even as you’re just getting started. Using it for “me time” and therapy is such a beautiful way to connect with the light. Keep having fun with it — and feel free to reach out if you ever want tips or tutorials!

Best light Prop on the market <3

Long time fan of ants on a melon, i truly love this product!
It's so much easier to set the color setting you want from the phone app instead of hurting your fingers and nerves trying to set it manually through the handle.
My friend and I take turns to be the lighting guy for each other. We will change the lighting setting mid performance from the app based on the music and laser colors the VJ would use.
also the light up buttons are supe useful when you first learn how to use it as they make it much easier to know where the handle is. Pluss it looks really cool if you are fiber wielding and the handle rotates.
Adore it!

Beautiful whip!

This is by far the prettiest whip I have ever seen. I love the sparkle aspect to it. There are so many color combinations on the app! I love that they offer a lifetime warranty!!
