Robotic Arm

Also known as robotic camera arm, robot arm, camera arm. Category: Hardware

A robotic camera arm moves the camera along a vertical arc around the product while a turntable rotates it, so images can be taken from several elevations. The PhotoRobot Robotic Arm is synchronised with the turntable to capture single or multiple rows of a 360 spin automatically.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot offers the Robotic Arm in versions V3 (manual elevation) and V8 (motor-assisted, software-controlled elevation), with a top-view range of 0° to 90°; the V8 is also available with a long arm. A docking station aligns the arm with compatible turntables such as the Centerless Table, and retractable wheels make it easy to move between workstations. Combined with turntable rotation it also produces the flying camera effect in product video.

  • Robotic camera control: Automated coordination of camera triggering, movement and positioning by motorised devices and software.
  • Multi-row 360: A 360 spin captured at several camera elevations, so the viewer can rotate the product horizontally and vertically.
  • Turn and swing angles: PhotoRobot terms for the rotation angle of the product (turn) and the vertical angle of the camera (swing).
  • Centerless Table: PhotoRobot motorised turntable with an optical glass plate for shadow-free photography without clipping.
  • Flying camera effect: Video in which the camera seems to fly around the product, made by combining rotation with camera movement.
