Every Rambow day includes the robot, our own operator and technician, Flair software, the standard track, and the truck. Nothing is added later except overtime past 10 hours, extra track sections, turntables, and an extra technician on very long track runs.
Most tabletop and beauty jobs are one prelight day and one shoot day. Programming the moves on the prelight is what makes the shoot day fast, so we recommend it for anything with more than a few setups.
Overtime is 1.5x for the first two hours past ten, 2x after. Extra 3 m track sections are $300 each per day. Outside New York City, transport is $420 plus $140 per hour driven each way.
Pairing the Bolt with our Phantom Flex4K for high-speed work adds the camera and a Phantom technician; see the Phantom pricing page.
On location with a generator, tell us the generator type and output before the day so our operators can confirm it will run the robot cleanly. We do not supply generators.
Rates as of October 2026, US dollars, per 10-hour crew day. The signed booking agreement governs.
