The UltraPoi HelixPoi has some pretty cool light modes and patterns that can add an extra flair to your flow arts performance. From what we've found, it's built with versatility in mind, making it a good fit for both newcomers and experienced poi spinners.
Each HelixPoi has two light sticks that offer a bunch of color and pattern options. According to the manufacturer's description, these poi are battery-powered with AAA batteries and display bright, colorful patterns that really pop during performances.
However, in our research, some folks mentioned that the modes can change unexpectedly because the lights are pretty sensitive to impact.
Also, while the HelixPoi is lightweight and comes with silicone cushioning, we noticed a few reports of missing battery covers, which can be a hassle if the batteries pop out mid-performance. Some people suggest using tape to keep the batteries in place, especially during intense routines or shows.
Even though the handles are designed to be soft and comfy, keep in mind that they're not USB rechargeable and rely on AAA batteries. Some users mentioned they would have preferred a rechargeable option for more convenience.
Another thing to watch out for is the durability. A few reports from our research mentioned broken battery compartments, so that's something to think about, especially if you plan to use them heavily.
While these points might pose some initial headaches, especially for newbies, it seems like they don't take away from the excitement and enjoyment people have when using it.
Overall, the HelixPoi offers dynamic patterns and vivid colors, making it a great addition to any seasoned spinner's kit. Beginners might need to tweak things a bit or consider other options.
But once you get the hang of it, the UltraPoi HelixPoi promises an exciting and lively visual display.
