Dunno any actual forums/messageboards for poi/object manipulation/circus arts that are still regularly active, but the facebook community is pretty alive, lol.Tech Poi:https://www.faceb...

Might be worth asking around in your local spinning community about prop makers. Most peeps who just make props on the side (no website or anything, usually), will be happy to talk abou...

If you want a direct connection from chain to PX3 knob, you can drill/cut the hole in the PX3 knob wide enough to accept the chain, and then attach a small-ish fishing split ring once y...

Just Awesome
"Very sturdy very bright very versatile. The lights by themselves are very strong and can handle pretty hard knocks (but take care of them anyways!). They can be as light as glowsticks by themselves or you can get crystal cases or the modular system parts to protect them and make them heavier and add flowmasses to get to just the right weight that you want. Definitely use rechargeables on these ones. There's a marked difference in battery life compared to cheap alkalines and they tend to cut out sometimes when I use alkalines. With the new Gen2 flowlights there's also a superbright setting for all the modes which is really nice to have if you want to light up in a not so dark place."

Very good and worth it
"These are rather good light sticks even though they only have one LED. It turns on via a very simple slider switch which also happens to be very small. It's a little stiff which is good because that means it's harder to accidentally knock off but it can still turn off sometimes when you hit them against something. I've also managed to turn one off during a wrap because the switch is right at the top of the stick. That's pretty rare though and not really much of a problem. Also the hole that the string (which comes with it) attaches to the stick through is pretty narrow and you can't fit quicklinks or colecord through it so you'll either have to make the hole wider or attach your cord to a small length of the provided string if you want to use a different cord. All in all though it's very good. Does just as well and probably better than chemical glowsticks is very very light and pretty durable and overall worth the price."

Does what it's supposed to do.
"It kinda looks and feels a bit tacky and flimsy but it's pretty strong and survives quite a bit of abuse. Been crushed around in my bags and backpacks and my pockets for most of a year and it's still pretty much the same as when it arrived. The logo however rubbed away within the first week of arriving (not that it matters too much). It can hold two pairs flowlights with crystal cases and their handles and so on with a bit of room to spare to try and give an idea of its size. Worth buying if you want something cheap and reliable to keep your poi together and separate from the other stuff in your bags."
