The slow-motion booth built for brands, not just parties

The Glambot is a precision robotic arm on a track that flies a high-frame-rate cinema camera around your guest in a single choreographed pass — the slow-motion, red-carpet sweep you've seen light up award shows, fashion weeks and celebrity arrivals. It isn't a platform you stand on or a fixed camera pointed at a step-and-repeat: it's a moving cinema rig that drifts, rises and orbits so one person looks like the subject of a movie trailer. In New York, that's exactly what agencies, marketers and event producers are after — a slow-mo booth that turns a brand activation into content people actually want to post. We run the Glambot across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens from our Midtown base, and because it's the most produced booth we carry, every placement is blocked like a shot the DP would sign off on.

The corporate NYC rooms a Glambot was made for

This is the booth for the city's most produced nights. At a Cipriani hall on 42nd Street or in FiDi, the arm has the ceiling height and the runway of floor it wants, and the sweep reads huge against seventy-foot columns. At The Glasshouse on Eleventh Avenue or a Skylight venue in SoHo or Chelsea, the black-box environment lets your lighting designer paint the frame exactly. Spring Studios in Tribeca — the home of New York Fashion Week screenings — is a natural, and so is Gotham Hall's dome for an awards gala. For a VIP dinner at The Pierre or a launch at The Glasshouse, the Glambot becomes the red carpet itself: guests step up, the arm swings, and thirty seconds later they're watching themselves in slow motion. Tell us the room and we'll block the arm's move to the architecture.

Suggested for

The Glambot is a premium activation, and it books like one. It's the red-carpet centerpiece for the most produced corporate and brand nights in New York:

Brand activations

The wedge product for experiential and agency work — a slow-mo red-carpet moment engineered to travel across the feed, branded end-to-end.

Product launches

A beauty drop, a sneaker release, a tech unveil — the Glambot makes every guest's arrival feel like the reveal, with a hero clip that's on-brand before it's posted.

Fashion & runway after-parties

The cinematic sweep NYFW screenings and runway nights were built for — editorial motion that reads as luxury, not novelty.

Award shows & galas

The official red-carpet arrival for a black-tie awards night or nonprofit gala at rooms like Gotham Hall or Cipriani.

Corporate VIP & premiere nights

Film premieres, executive dinners and members' nights where a single hero clip is worth more than a hundred snapshots.

High-scale, high-visibility events

Sports, media and stadium-scale activations where throughput, production polish and a shareable payoff all matter.

The brands New York trusts us with

DigiBooths runs the photo experiences behind some of the most recognizable brand activations in the country — the kind of production credibility a corporate buyer is really shopping for. Our client roster spans Nike, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, New Era, Heinz, Vox Media, LEGO, Pepsi, Coinbase, Google, Meta, the NFL, iHeartRadio and the V Foundation, alongside a New Era × Dick's Sporting Goods NFL Draft activation and a Vox Media × Heinz 'Draft Pick' experience. When you put the Glambot at the center of a New York activation, you're hiring the crew those brands already hand their step-and-repeat to — and a rig produced to the same standard.

Cinematic clips, branded and edited for your launch

The Glambot's payoff is the edit, and we produce it to look like it came off your agency's timeline, not a rental floor. We choreograph the arm's move, tune the lighting and build custom slow-motion overlays and a branded end card so every clip carries your logo, palette and campaign look. For corporate clients we can gate the share behind a quick email so the activation builds a list while it dazzles. The result is genuinely cinematic output — a red-carpet hero clip that hits the feed before the guest has left the carpet, which is the whole point of running a movie-trailer moment at a New York event.

Load-in for a robotic arm in a NYC venue

A Glambot is the most involved booth we bring into a New York room, so the logistics conversation starts early. The arm and its track need real floor space and a clean sweep radius, plus a clear ceiling — which is why we confirm the freight elevator can take the cased rig and why we walk the placement against the room's rigging and chandeliers before your date. It draws dedicated power, so we confirm circuits within reach. In Class A Manhattan buildings and union houses our Certificate of Insurance ($1M / $2M with the venue and building management named as additional insureds) goes out well ahead of load-in, and we schedule the dock and freight window because a rig this size doesn't improvise its way in. We arrive with time to calibrate the move, so the first guest gets the same shot as the last.

How a Glambot activation comes together

From first call to the final clip, here's how we produce a Glambot at a New York event:

1

Scope the activation

Tell us the venue, date, borough and campaign look; we confirm the Glambot's a fit for the room and hold your date.

2

Design the moment

We block the arm's sweep to the space, style custom slow-motion overlays and a branded end card, and plan lighting, power and the COI.

3

Produce on-site

Our crew loads in, calibrates the move and runs the red carpet so every guest gets the same cinematic hero shot.

4

Share & capture

Edited, color-graded clips land on guests' phones in the room via text or a branded QR gallery — email-gated when you want the leads.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

What is a Glambot and how does the slow-motion booth work?

A Glambot is a robotic camera arm on a track that flies a high-frame-rate cinema camera around your guest in a single choreographed pass, capturing a slow-motion, red-carpet hero clip. Unlike a 360 booth, the guest doesn't stand on a platform — the arm itself drifts, rises and orbits to create a cinematic, movie-trailer look. It's the premium, activation-grade slow-mo booth.

How much does a Glambot rental cost in NYC?

Glambot rental is priced per activation because it's a produced, crewed rig — pricing depends on your venue, run time, custom branding and load-in requirements. It's a premium, luxury-tier booth, so it's quoted rather than listed. Tell us your date, venue and event and we'll send a corporate quote fast.

Is the Glambot the same as a red carpet or slow motion photo booth?

Yes — 'Glambot,' 'red carpet photo booth' and 'slow motion photo booth' all describe the same cinematic camera-arm experience. The Glambot is the branded, robotic version of a red-carpet slow-mo booth, engineered for a smooth, choreographed hero sweep rather than a handheld shot.

What kind of NYC event is the Glambot right for?

Brand activations, product launches, fashion and runway after-parties, red-carpet arrivals, award shows, galas and VIP corporate nights — anywhere the goal is a cinematic, shareable hero clip. It's a premium activation, so it shines at produced corporate events at rooms like Cipriani, The Glasshouse, Spring Studios or Gotham Hall.

Can you brand the slow-motion clips for our activation?

Absolutely. We build custom slow-motion overlays and a branded end card, color-grade the clip to your campaign look, and can gate the share behind an email capture so the activation doubles as lead generation. The output is designed to look like it came off your agency's edit.

How is a Glambot different from a 360 booth?

A 360 booth stands your guest on a platform while an arm spins around them at floor level. A Glambot is a robotic camera arm on a track that flies a cinema camera around the guest in a choreographed, elevated sweep — a red-carpet hero shot rather than a spin. Different rig, different look, and the Glambot is the more produced, luxury-tier option.

Does the Glambot need a lot of space and ceiling height?

Yes — more than most booths. The arm and track need a clean sweep radius on the floor and clear ceiling above. We walk the placement against your room's rigging and chandeliers and confirm the freight elevator can take the cased rig before your date.

How fast do guests get their Glambot clip, and do you handle COI?

Within moments — the edited, graded clip lands on their phone by text or a branded QR gallery while they're still in the room. For Class A Manhattan buildings and union venues, we send a Certificate of Insurance ($1M / $2M with the venue and building management named as additional insureds) ahead of load-in and schedule the freight and dock window.
