Multiple Connected Devices Issue Notice

The Ants on a Melon App enables users to connect up to 10 RGB Critter BT Flashlights simultaneously. However, it is important to note that there is a known issue with color-changing modes when multiple Critter BTs are connected to the app. The colors may not always match perfectly on the connected flashlights. This issue only applies to color-changing modes, as solid colors will always match on any number of connected RGB Critter BTs. A resolution for this known issue is expected by the end of 2024. Once the issue is resolved, you can update your RGB Critter BT using the app.


16,777,216 Color Options

Choose from an insane amount of color options using three different color pickers within the iOS Ants on a Melon App! The main LED on the RGB Critter BT displays all selected colors and mode patterns in real-time, allowing you to see the actual colors and patterns on the physical flashlight.

*These color pickers are only available in the iOS version of the App.

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."

PHOTOFOCUS.COM
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.

My absolute favorite light tool in my artist’s toolkit

I’ve followed along with AoM’s evolution for a very long time. From the very first flashlight they made, years ago, their tools have been the bread and butter for my light painting life. It’s amazing and exciting to see how far they’ve come in developing and leading the industry in innovation when it comes to light painting. I was stoked to use the RGB Critter when it came out, but now with the BT, the very few things I would have changed with the RGB Critter have been taken care of with the app connectivity. While I used the RGB Critter for all my light painting, it was difficult and inconvenient to flip through colors and modes, especially during an exposure. Now, I can easily and quickly flip through modes without eating into my exposure time or getting light bleed in my image. Also, the little things the app includes like custom modes and favorites playlists, as well as easily accessed special modes like strobe and momentary off buttons are amazing. I should add that I’m an AoM ambassador, but in my career I’ve had ambassador offers from multiple companies, and I’ve stuck with AoM because of great staff, a wonderful community, and most importantly to me, the best light painting tools on the market. Highly, highly recommend the BT!!🙌

Play Time

Unfortunately being light nights I haven’t had the opportunity to really use the RGB Critter BT properly but have handled it enough to say it is comfortable to hold and sits in the palm quite naturally. The app makes the selection of modes very easy, no need to go through cycling to find the right one.

Until the days become shorter, I shall continue to play with my new toy! 😀

BEST LIGHT WHIP ON THE MARKET

AOAM has been an amazing light whip device to use after trying a couple brands prior. It was already a great whip and now with its updates being able to change and create color mode playlists via Bluetooth with the app it is an absolute game changer. So easy and user friendly to use and makes such a difference!

Love my new Critter!

As a flow artist, I was very excited to try out the new RGB Critter BT flashlight! After taking it and the BitWhip accessory for a spin, I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and features.
The flashlight itself is remarkably bright, being one of the brightest on the market, and the fibers produce vibrant, stunning colors. One of the standout features is the amazing playlists for colors, which allow for a mesmerizing display of light that can be tailored to any mood or environment. The app is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and customize the color settings to my liking.
Durability is another key feature of the RGB Critter BT. The handle is built to last, providing a sturdy grip that feels reliable. The grippy texture of the handle adds to the overall comfort, making it easy to flow and maneuver without any discomfort.
Charging the RGB Critter BT is a breeze. The process is simple and efficient, ensuring that you can quickly get back to using your Critter without any hassle.
Love my new Critter and cannot wait to create new modes and flow with it!
