on the East Coast.

Six motion control robots, owned and operated by the people standing next to them on set, the only owner-operator fleet at this scale in New York. A Phantom Flex4K, camera and lighting rental and our own Flatiron stage behind them.

Glambot · events & activations

Glam meets bot.

The red-carpet slow-motion shot, done properly: a real MRMC Bolt moving a Phantom Flex4K past your guest at 1,000 frames per second.

Most “glambots” aren’t. They use a mirrorless camera on a slow collaborative arm or slider, shooting 120 fps and stretching it in post. The move is slow, the arm can wobble at the end of the stroke, and the footage looks exactly like what it is: a cheaper imitation.

The difference is speed. The Bolt can move the camera two meters in half a second, stop dead and repeat perfectly. That whip is what creates the shot — the camera flies past, the guest barely moves, and the room streaks behind them.

The Phantom captures true 4K slow motion at 1,000 fps. Hair, sequins, champagne and confetti hang in the air, sharp frame by frame. No interpolation. No fake slow motion. Just the real shot.

Everything is turnkey: Bolt, Phantom, lighting, backdrop, iPads, operator and event tech. Guests receive branded clips by QR code within seconds, with optional kiosks, tethered photography and social uploads.

For galas, premieres, launches, brand activations and private events — in New York or globally.

About Rambow

Rambow Studio is a motion-control house in Flatiron, Manhattan. We started with one Bolt and grew into six robots, a Phantom Flex4K, an LED wall and a stage of our own.

We believe in craft over flash. When you book with us you get direct access to the people doing the work, and we travel with the robots throughout New York and beyond.
