GlamBot Photo Booth Rental NYC - Robotic Arm at Corporate Gala Event

What Is a GlamBot?

The same robotic camera arm used on Hollywood red carpets and award shows — now available for your NYC event.

A GlamBot is a precision robotic arm equipped with a professional Sony FX3 cinema camera that captures ultra slow-motion video at up to 240 frames per second. The arm sweeps dramatically around your guests in a choreographed, cinematic motion — creating the same stunning slow-motion content you see at the Met Gala, Grammy Awards, and Hollywood premieres. Unlike a standard photo booth, the GlamBot delivers a true red carpet experience with sweeping camera angles, dramatic reveals, and broadcast-quality video that stops the room.

Each guest steps onto the GlamBot platform, strikes their pose, and the robotic arm glides through its programmed path — capturing every detail in breathtaking slow motion. The finished video is professionally edited in real time with custom intros, branded overlays, and music, then delivered instantly via text or QR code. It’s the most show-stopping, shareable entertainment you can add to any NYC event — from corporate galas at Cipriani to brand activations in SoHo.
