A Glambot is an automated robotic camera arm that creates eye-catching slow motion videos of guests at events. This cutting-edge technology is becoming an increasingly popular way for hosts to give their attendees a truly memorable and shareable experience.
The Origins of the Glambot
The first high-profile appearance of a Glambot camera was at Hollywood’s red carpet events in the hands of pioneering videographer Cole Walliser. Walliser recognized the potential for a robot-operated slow motion video camera to revolutionize event coverage. His custom rigs produced breathtaking videos and ignited demand for Glambot rigs at celebrity weddings, awards shows, and corporate events around the world.
As demand grew, so did efforts to make Glambot setups more portable, affordable and easy to operate. Now, complete turnkey Glambot solutions allow almost anyone to deploy this exciting technology at their own events.
How a Modern Glambot System Works
A Glambot red carpet setup consists of a robotic camera arm mounted to a stable base housing the electronics that control the robotic arm movement. The smooth, pre-programmed motions of the arm create a captivating on-camera effect as the attached camera focuses closely on the subject and then zooms out. High frame-rate video capture ensures perfectly fluid slow motion playback.
Most modern Glambot solutions can move quickly enough to capture multiple guests in succession while maintaining pinpoint precision. Sharing of the videos is also instant, contrary to the original Glambot system, so that allows for real event usage.
