If you are looking for something to spice up your relationship with photography this will do it. This is a tool that is fun to play with and can give cool effects for portraiture and timelapse. At $350 to buy, the system feels cheaply made.

The plastic body feels a little flimsy for the price.

Works as advertised, and once figured out, pretty easy to use.

A really fun tool that opens up your creativity when shooting at night.

This is not the type of product, though, that needs to take much abuse so it didn’t worry me too much. The handle itself was not very secure which left me worried I would accidentally fling the whole stick into the air. Multiple times during use I had to stop and tighten a knob here, or pick up a fallen piece there. It’s clear that this is a simple and cheaply made product. My only gripe about the Pixelstick is the build quality. For example, this image of Chuck Norris hanging out by the Mississippi River…realistic, no? Okay maybe I struggled a bit with that one, but it gave me a good laugh. The Pixelstick is also really great for seamlessly adding images into a long exposure. I’m not sure what a “serious” application would be for the Pixelstick, so I basically started using it as a coloring tool…

The Pixelstick isn’t exactly high powered, but I was able to use it as a light source for an interesting effect on my 1994 Geo Tracker. If you are working by yourself you will want to use a wireless remote and of course, a tripod. There are menu adjustments on the stick for brightness and speed, which can be balanced with the environment and speed of the Pixelstick motion.

The user can choose between several programmed patterns or download original images onto a sd card and insert them directly into the pixel stick. The Pixelstick LED Lightpainting Tool is an aluminum stick with 200 programmable led lights used for light painting in long exposures or time lapse. I never knew I wanted to try light painting until I saw this video for the Pixelstick, and it took several tries before I could pry it out of the hands of my coworkers. Once in a while a product will come out that looks so fun everyone wants to try it.
