Also my shoulders are fucking tired. I also noticed just now that inovas have a turn off timer? Is that correct? Spinning for a while and either both or one light will turn off.


EDIT/UPDATE: I was just making some perfect 5 point stars with both inovas on the low setting (dot mode).

I'm having trouble with my nylon string. One knot always comes undone after a while. It pisses me the fuck off. I'll be having fun the all of a sudden the orbit just looses all tension and drops. I'm left holding onto a a couple lights hanging from a string, and an empty key ring in the other hand. You can imagine the disappointment.

on the high setting, the lights turn off after 4 mins i believe. You can use a lighter to melt the knot a lil bit so it fuses.

Seemed shorter than 4 minutes but I'll take your word for it. Also does anyone have have tips or tutorials to learn arm wraps and neck wraps?

wraps were easy with the orbit too. just wrap it around the wrist area and bounce it back.

and tie a diff knot. i dunno the names of knots but theres some simple ones that wont untie themselves with tension. some knots do better with tension. find that one lol. i bet google can help.

later man

and btw i done like two lightshows with my orbit and got bored with it. now im glowstringing. two weeks now almost. its harder then orbiting but u can express urself more and its not limiting. also more rewarding after you do the move/combo correctly.

At my last rave I was one of two people with an orbit and most people hadn't seen one before. It was fun for a while just playing with it and trying to give lightshows. Some people were hella into, even though I sucked. But yea it got really fucking boring just entertaining those people rolling super hard.

Do whatever you need to, to attach it. However, using zipties is the best method, in my opinion. I put the zip ties through, attach them loosely, then put the strings in so it fits. Nylon rope over a shoelace also. The stuff is very durable for this kind of usage.

And you want to get rid of as much "crookedness" as possible. I'm about to remake my 3 inova orbit, just because it's getting crooked and needs to be rebalanced. I have so much more control over it when the balance is near perfect.
