RGB Critter not working?

Hey I’ve got the RGB critter and it hasn’t been turning on. When I go to charge it the light goes green and after about 5 mins or so the critter starts flashing a red light and occasionally the buttons start glowing on and off. Not sure if anyone can help me but figured I’d ask thanks!

In diesem Moment habe ich…

In diesem Moment habe ich mit einer Softbox für das perfekte Licht gesorgt. Der Sony F28 RM Blitz half, die Verschlusszeit zu optimieren. Auf einem stabilen Stativ mit Fernauslöser konnte ich präzise auslösen, während ein Schlauch Wassertropfen in eine Schale fallen ließ. Der Kontrast auf der schwarzen Folie im Hintergrund macht dieses Bild besonders. 📸✨ "Experimentiert ihr auch gerne?👨‍🔬 Teilt eure kreativen Momente, indem ihr euer Lieblingsbild unter diesem Thread postet⬇️⬇️ #Photography

Port twirls

Had some fun at my local port hanging around the unused woolsheds.

This was captured on a Sony A7R4, kindly loaned to me by u/theballoflight, in one image with minor processing in LightRoom.
