How to Mount a DSLR Camera to the Glambot®

Camera Mount Installation

Proper mount installation is critical for smooth Glambot® footage. Follow these steps exactly to ensure your camera is mounted correctly.

1. Attach the mounting rod

Using the two included screws, attach the mounting rod to the Glambot® wrist end effector as shown below.

2. Install the slider plate

Attach the slider plate to the camera as shown in the photo below.

  • Position it as close to the battery door as possible.

  • Make sure the battery door can still open fully.

3. Install the hanger

The hanger will block access to the battery door once installed.

Before continuing, install your battery or dummy battery.

Then, slide the hanger onto the camera and tighten the wingnut until it is securely fastened.

Important: Do not install the hanger with the battery door facing downward (the opposite orientation shown). This places the camera's weight off-center and can cause instability or shaky footage.

4. Mount the camera onto the rod

From behind the robot, slide the camera onto the right side of the mounting rod.

Do not mount the camera on the opposite side. Doing so shifts the camera's center of gravity and can result in instability or shaky footage.

Once installed, verify that:

  • The camera is mounted on the right side of the rod (when looking from behind).

  • The camera is centered on the robot's wrist.

  • The mount is fully seated and securely tightened.

See the photos below for the correct mounting orientation from multiple angles.
