# Robotic Arm > PhotoRobot motorised camera arm that moves the camera vertically around a product for multi-row and 3D capture. 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](https://www.photorobot.com/robots/centerless-table), and retractable wheels make it easy to move between workstations. Combined with turntable rotation it also produces the [flying camera effect](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/flying-camera-effect) in product video. ## See on photorobot.com - [Robotic Arm](https://www.photorobot.com/robots/robotic-arm) - [Robotic Arm V8 manual](https://www.photorobot.com/manuals/robotic-arm-v8) ## Related terms - [Robotic camera control](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/what-is-robotic-camera-control): Automated coordination of camera triggering, movement and positioning by motorised devices and software. - [Multi-row 360](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/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](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/turn-and-swing-angles): PhotoRobot terms for the rotation angle of the product (turn) and the vertical angle of the camera (swing). - [Centerless Table](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/centerless-table): PhotoRobot motorised turntable with an optical glass plate for shadow-free photography without clipping. - [Flying camera effect](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/flying-camera-effect): Video in which the camera seems to fly around the product, made by combining rotation with camera movement. ## Where this term appears on photorobot.com Mentioned on 104 pages.
