Glambot is the camera for red carpet moments: a motorized arm that sweeps at high speed around the guest and delivers a slow motion, music video style clip. It came out of Hollywood galas, and today brands, premium weddings and corporate events ask for it. The question we get every week is the same: how much does it cost and when is it worth buying?
How much does a Glambot cost in 2026
A full professional setup ranges, depending on arm, camera and software, between €8,000 and €15,000 incl. VAT. Our Glambot Exclusive costs €9,100 incl. VAT and includes the motorized arm, programmed motion control and camera integration ready to shoot from the first event, with warranty of up to 3 years and financing available.
Beware DIY alternatives: a manual arm with a stabilizer can imitate the move, but the repeatable, smooth sweep that makes a Glambot recognizable comes from programmed motorized motion. That is exactly what you pay for.
What to charge for a Glambot service
In the Spanish market, a Glambot service for an event is typically booked for several hundred euros per day, above what a classic photo booth commands, because the result is perceived as audiovisual production and not a step and repeat. Galas, premieres, brand activations and high budget weddings are its natural habitats. With a handful of well priced bookings, the investment is paid off. The rest of the year is margin.

They do not compete, they complement each other. If you already bill with a 360 photo booth, add the Glambot as a premium service to lift average order value at the events that will pay for it. Starting directly with the Glambot only makes sense if your client base is already galas and brands.
When to buy it (and when not yet)
Buy it if you already have an events business running, clients ask for "something more exclusive" and you are losing premium contracts for not having it. Wait if you do not yet have a client base: start with a 360 first, it costs a fraction, rents for every type of event and builds your calendar. You can find the full numbers for that path in our photo booth business plan with real figures.
Frequently asked questions
Does it need an operator?
Yes. Unlike a 360 that almost runs itself, the Glambot shines when someone directs the pose and the sweep. Plan for one team member per event.
How much space does it need?
More than a 360: set aside a clear area of about 4 x 3 meters for the arm's full sweep and the posing zone, plus the step and repeat or backdrop you want behind.
What video format does it deliver?
Short slow motion clips ready for social, vertical or horizontal. Guests share them as soon as they receive them, free publicity for the organizer.
