Helix Poi

Hello! My name is Camden, I’m a poi spinner going on 3 years and I’ve been having a total blast with these Helix Poi! They are very durable and take impacts well due to the soft silicon case, which is great because you don’t want a light that will break or hurt your body during impacts. The poi come with the leash already installed so no setup is required and they also have bonus silicon knob handles instead of the lame old loop handles on most rigs. They are bright, making them super fun to spin and have many modes to choose from so your light show will be amazing! Here are some things I'd like to point out about this product. First thing I like the most about the Helix poi is its value! You get a full set of everything you need to start spinning right out of the included gear bag; glow stick light units, soft cases, leashes, silicone grips, nice ultrapoi sticker and a mode sheet! The mode sheet shows off tons of color modes and patterns that you will love! And all this gear for $60 is a great price! Some of my friends regret buying these cheap ball style poi that only accept costly coin batteries that die quick, and do not offer the brightness or mode selection and break very easily. The Ultralight glow stick that comes with the Helix Poi are amazing by themselves. They have 2 buttons so you can control the top and bottom color modes of the light independently which I found useful. I have played with a few other flow glow sticks and typically I break them in a few months, but the Ultralight shell is beefy and thicker than my other lights, meaning I can spin harder and more confidently. Sometimes when I’m not spinning I will just attach my LED glow stick to my backpack while I’m getting down to some music. The cord is soft and smooth which feels good when it wraps up in your hands, unlike some cords that feel like rope and can burn your arms. One of my favorite features is the knob grip handles, (I normally pay $10 extra to upgrade to these type) this makes it very comfortable for long spinning sessions and can be a game changer for catching tosses. They are weighted nicely so they feel great weather you are a master poi spinner, glow stringer or even if these are your first set of poi! After adjusting the leash to your custom length you will practically never have to deal with them again. Just add a battery and they are ready to play with out of the box. One AAA battery in the Helix poi lasts multiple nights before they start to lose power and you don’t even need a tool to change the battery. What’s great about this is that you can pack some extra batteries before going to music festivals, raves, concerts or camping and then you have power for spinning LEDs the entire time of your event! I must say that after putting in a lot of research for feature rich poi that won’t break the bank, Helix Poi are the best choice. It does not matter if you a beginner or an expert, these poi would be a great addition to a poi spinner’s collection. I would recommend them to any of my performer friends; who have concerns about durability, but once you have the Helix Poi in your hands, you can tell that they are a solid quality product. Turn your lights off and your Helix Poi on to get a flow session in, take them out to any place with music and get your spin on! Very versatile and super fun, I’m sure you will have a great time with them.

Received last night. Took em out put the batteries in and walked around for a minute. Nice feel and a quality product. The only thing I would say with the variety of these products being clear on exactly what you you are getting and what is needed for use.

I love these. They are mostly well made. I play with them daily and for hours at a time. Been spinning for about a year with poi. My first set were the poi pods and I liked them a bit more. Being able to recharge without worrying about batteries is nice. I just had one of the switches stop working last night and im not sure why or if its something I can fix possibly. I am having a panic issue over sending it in and having to wait for a new one to ship. I do love the colors, brightness and the small handles are better for me than the straps. The value is decent. Especially with a lifetime warranty. I wish i was rich or at expert level so I could try all of the different toys. My life has improved tremendously since I discovered poi! My arms are solid and never looked better. Even when I was a gym nut. Its effortless for me to spin. I've been a dancer all my life. Its the greatest joy I know! Connects me to my body, slows my mind and soothes my soul plus a certain grace flowing through my days. Im so greatful for poi in my life. They are a daily joy and I can't wait to light up the beach at night. People sit on the hotel balconies and watch at night and I get great smiles and compliments the next day. I think I'm going to work on a video and pray for sponsorship. Thanks everyone for your hard work and creativity.

I am FREAKING out over how cool these are! They arent very bright, thats the only down side. But they are very small, just a little bigger than a chemical glowstick, which is what I wanted. The silicone (??) sleeves are great, I was spinning these real fast and they collided in air...i was really scared for like a half second, but they didnt even blink! They use a AAA battery and have a buncha flashing AND solid modes. These are a perfect replacement to the cheap coleman LED sticks i was spinning. I just wish they were a little brighter. !!!!!!!!!!EDIT:!!!!! I only just now today had to change the batteries in ONE of the 2 (been a week) and it was WAAAAY brighter. Turns out I must have been using old batteries, these things are ALMOST as bright as a FRESH chemical glowstick. They are VERY bright, thats my fault I put old batteries in mine. You should use BRAND new fresh batteries and these suckers will melt your face!! Why am i still typing?! i gotta get back to spinning these things!! UPGRADED TO 5 STARS!

I love these! However absolutely get the pack with the silicone coverings and string. Friend got just the lights and shattered them pretty dang quick. I actually ended up gifting these to them because they are way better at poi than I am and I got the flow whip. Love the light ootions, easy to adjust, good feel in the hand. Hurts like mad when you wack yourself in the face.

The cords are long and can break shortened up as needed. The heads are a little lighter in weight than im used to but they can take a beating. Im happy.

My only issues are that one of the c-rings broke off from the teathers so easily within my first week of use. Not to mention that some of the strobe functions don't work properly. The poi itself is a strong plastic able to take some kind of abuse (of course there is a case to absorb a lot of that abuse) each poi uses 1 AAA battery and lasts depending on the light function you have enabled. Personally I don't mind batteries but I think it would be awesome if it also had a USB recharge function this way you can alternate between power sources or extend your use when using lights. Over all I wish that it didn't feel like my poi wasn't breaking down within the week. Don't get me wrong I was able to replace the c-ring easily and all. But a large majority of my light functions just don't work correctly. If you are getting these as your first starting set I wouldn't reccomend these. Maybe on a more professional level cause they are VERY VERY NICE and crisp. But even though they take some abuse they may break down rather quickly especially if they colloide into eachother. I still love them though.

The pic is slightly misleading because you only get 2 of the light sticks but I am so in love w these things. Idk if the quality of my vid is crappy because I took it through snap but I am not disappointed. I love that they take AAA batteries because somehow thats easier than the watch batteries, idk why but it just is. Who buys watch batteries ? No one ! But I always have some AAA in the junk drawer. Anyway yeah, $60 was kinda a lot for some poi but its deff worth it imo and also just know it hurts like a mother if you wap yourself with one so prob not for beginners unless you're a masochist then what is stopping you ? Buy these now ! This message is approved by me.

Great ! Should have bought the lights for the knobs though

The twine tore after a few uses and we had to buy a new one to replace it.

Las ultra pois siempre fueron un sueño para mí gracias por el envío tan rápido solo me gustaría poder prender esa perilla que no enciende podrían ayudarme antes de hacer la devolución ?

I love them. In darkness they are simply amazing with so many colour options.

You have toset the custom colors according tothe advice sheet which is really rubbish and unhelpful. All I want is the rainbow on both to go slowly and trying to figure out how to do that is almost impossible given the advice on the sheet that come with the poi. Also the hand hold is a little small and needs to be adjusted. They don't really sit comfortably in my hands.
