Glambot | Frequently Asked Questions
How many moves/paths are included with the OrcaVue GlamBot?
OrcaVue GlamBots have 16 unique camera paths. Each of these can then be adjusted to accommodate four different heights and three different speeds. Most paths can also be played in the reverse direction; we call this mirroring. You should be aware that other companies typically count the mirrored version as a separate camera path. If we did that, our Glambot would have 25+ paths!
How difficult is it to set up an OrcaVue GlamBot?
OrcaVue GlamBots can be set up in three minutes or less–no tools required!
To do so, perform the following steps:
- Move the road case containing the packed GlamBot into position
- Tip the road case up onto the robot’s exposed feet
- Remove the clamshell sides of the road case
- Adjust the leveling feet
- Pull the built-in display back into the working position
- Plug the GlamBot into an AC power connection using the supplied 15 ft cord
- Attach a GoPro to the top of the arm
- Connect the GoPro to the USB-C port on the side of the head
- Connect an iPad to the USB-C port on the rear of the robot
- Place a tape mark (or small rug) 8 ft in front of the robot to indicate where subjects should stand
- Start your preferred app on the iPad
- Press the unfold button on the operator display to put the arm into its initial position
- Select a move and then press start in the app you are using!
Are OrcaVue GlamBots difficult to operate?
OrcaVue GlamBots were designed for simplicity. Operators simply select a “move” from a list pre-programmed paths. Most moves also allow the operator to select the height of the subject and the number of people in the shot to keep it from zooming in too close. The connected app start the robot, records the move, and then makes it available for sharing.
What happens if the GlamBot arm is bumped out of place?
The GlamBot arm is designed to “give” if it encounters an obstruction. Often it can simply readjust after such an encounter. But in the case that it needs to be “re-homed,” simply place the arm into glide mode by pressing the red switch at top of arm for half a second. A buzzer will sound and the LED light will blink several times to indicate that the arm is about to go limp. When it does, simply push the arm back into the storage bracket, watching the two indicators which illuminate when the arm is completely reseated. When they are both green, press the red button again. The arm will re-energize and is now ready to return to operation.
Is the OrcaVue GlamBot shipping?
Yes! Orders placed today are expected to ship January 2025.
What cameras can be used with the OrcaVue GlamBot?
The OrcaVue GlamBot was designed with the expectation that it would be used with a GoPro 12. When the apps catch up, it should also work with the GoPro 13.
Why doesn’t it work with mirrorless/DSLR cameras?
Mirrorless cameras and DSLRs struggle to maintain focus at the rate the Glambot arm travels. Counteracting this would require adding a motorized focus puller, which would then turn everything into an elaborate science project, exactly the opposite of what we were working towards. We think that you will find the quality surprisingly good.
What should photo booth operators charge for GlamBot activation services?
Different regional markets will have fluctuating demand and supply. Therefore, you’ll need to test the pricing in your market to find the optimum level. We’d recommend experimenting with $2-5,000 per day for private events and $3-8,000 per day for corporate events.
What photo booth apps can be used with the OrcaVue GlamBot?
At the moment, we mostly use SnapPic. That said, any app that can work with a GoPro and start an OrcaVue 360 platform should be able to start the Glambot, although the level of customization and integration would vary. These apps include: SnapPic, the Glambot.App, TouchPix and Gruvy. Plans are in the works to add our extended protocol to SnapPic, Glambot.app and Curator. This will allow selection of moves and greater control of the robot directly from within the app.
