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

Filipp Kabanyayev @minimaleafs

Hi, I'm Filipp! I'm a passionate photographer who loves to experiment with light and color. One of my specialties is light painting photography, where I transform simple subjects like leaves and flowers into vibrant, ethereal creations using colored lights. Each of my photographs begins in complete darkness, with light added stroke by stroke, just like painting on a canvas. To achieve the best possible results, I need a flashlight that's bright, vibrant, and reliable—and that's why the RGB Critter BT is my go-to choice. I've tried many flashlights, but Critter stands out with over 16 million super-bright colors, intuitive controls, and a durable design that never lets me down. It's the perfect tool for bringing my artistic visions to life. Through my work, I hope to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of simplicity and connect more deeply with the natural world—and with tools like Critter, that vision becomes a reality.

Customizable Settings

The features on the Universal Settings page of the Ants on a Melon app allow you to quickly adjust strobe speeds, brightness levels, automatically play modes, and more!

Game changer!!!

I've been whipping for the last 6 years or so and have tried all the whips. While I lived the ease of use of some brands and the versatility of others, none make the experience as friendly as AOAM does now! Not only can you customize your patterns and colors but you can import them so they're readily available to use without your phone! Wowowow. Also, the buttons glow?!? The fiber to handle weight ratio is phenomenal, making isolations easy and the rubber outside gives an extra cushion when you eventually bonk yourself on the head or launch it at your ceiling fan. I couldn't be happier.... Unless I had 2! Thanks for putting so much love and thought into the Critter AOAM!!

Love from a customer who'll never stop dancing.

Great quality

It took me a minute to get the hang of it because the filaments kept snagging; but it is high quality and I love how bright it is.
