The Photo Professional’s Tool for 360 degree product Photography
Vida Studio System
Introducing the Vida Studio System, the world’s first complete studio shooting station with 360 degree product spin, created especially for photo professionals. We’ve taken our years of experience and built an amazing tool for product, fashion and archival photography. Revo has developed a studio tool that speaks to the photographic industry.
A complete turnkey package, your existing equipment can be used to customize your rig further. With near universal adaptability, the Vida Studio System uses photo industry standard hardware. The Vida is a must have tool for anyone in the business of shooting product, fashion or archival photography professionally. The Vida Studio System helps improve your shots and gives you more time to get the images you want.
360 Performance
The Vida Studio System’s 360 spin ability is unparalleled. 24 position spins can be completed in under 30 seconds with one, two or three angles, and even faster in some situations. This is extraordinary. Need to go about your 360 product images differently? The Vida is programmable to any number of frames and any point of angle. Don’t like to see a certain angle? Tell the Vida to avoid it. Reflections causing a problem? Nudge the rotation a few degrees - you have full control. The Vida comes with Dragonframe, the world’s foremost comprehensive camera and robotic control software, as well as our REVO comprehensive adaptation package’s hardware and software.
Originally designed to work with stop motion animation, Dragonframe’s powers entire blockbuster movies and now our spin machine. The Vida Studio System benefits from its years of software and hardware development. With our own adaptation hardware, we are able to point all of Dragonframe’s utility to product photography. We built the Vida around exacting specifications and robust usability. Dragonframe dovetails nicely with our desire to provide the best tool for the job.
Tabletop, fashion and large item Performance
It was difficult for us to decide what feature to choose to put first in our lineup. That said, our standard tabletop shooting is no second feature. Using the Vida Studio System is paradigm changing. With all of your lighting needs off the floor, you can focus on your work, not your feet. The infinite configurability of the Vida makes its applications unlimited. Your workflow is sped up substantially and presented much morel clearly. The most common comment from experienced photographers is regarding how they have more hours in the day to do everything photo. This time saving, frustration eliminating feature is the best in the industry.
White Background, Black background, any background
An e-commerce, fashion and archival workhorse, the Vida’s white background shooting is second to none, but with the Vida, you can use any color, not just white. The system is not restricted by any required back lighting or diffusion. Want a black background? Roll up the white, roll out the black. Want green? Same thing. Purple? Any color you want will work.
Photgrammetry and Beyond
We have stepped into the world of photogrammetry and there is no turning back. The Vida is a remarkable tool for precise imaging, allowing for an unprecedented degree of image mapping. Our system makes imaging with your software of choice a dream.
Studio Titan America
Our unique partnership with Studio Titan America has enabled us to reshape the basics, adding acute precision to camera position. With its beautiful ball bearing glides and positive locking mechanisms, the 360 camera stand makes otherwise difficult camera movements a breeze and repeatable. Easy to read measurement markers make repositioning incredibly simple. Available in single, double or triple configurations on the Vida, the Studio Titan 360 camera stand completes the Vida Studio and sets the stage needed for the precise nature of 360 product photography.
The 360 Titan America stand is decoupled from the Vida Studio. It is a remarkably capable tool on its own and can be used to shoot anything, any time, even across your studio. It is a truly amazing addition to the world of quality camera gear.
Cameras and Computers
Revo works with you to find the correct cameras, lensing and computers for your Vida Studio. We prepare and test everything in house and ship ready to go, software loaded and fully configured. We don’t leave anything to chance and strive to be sure every piece of gear works seamlessly from the moment it arrives in your studio.
Two Turntables
Two turntables are possible with the Vida Studio System. One up, one down. They can hold well over 100kgs (220lbs). The Vida doesn’t suffer the limitations so many other systems do when it comes to weight bearing / suspension capability. Both turntables can be run together or separately. They are precise, strong, adaptable and intuitive. We have a great hanging hardware kit that is as manipulatable as it is sturdy. We are able to develop in house modifications to fit your needs. Our 360 photography turntable system is truly the best in the industry, bar none.
Infinitely Configurable, Fully adaptable
Our system is wildly adjustable. Both lights and rigging can hang from anywhere on the Vida. It’s built for complete adaptability. From light modifiers to holding rigs, there is always something different to tweak to get a shot. We understand this. If you’re an established industry professional, things will be immediately familiar and welcoming. If you’re new to the photo world, the Vida is easy to use because it is simple and straight forward. You can put what you need to put where you need to put it.
Lighting
We use both strobe and continuous lighting and include either or both in your package. If it’s DMX controls you’re used to, we’ve got you covered too. That’s included in the Dragonframe software.
Multiple Monitors
To create the perfect product view, we know that you have to see what you are shooting. It’s critical to view what you are moving when you are moving it. Enter our station mounted monitor. There is always a perfect view of what you are doing available right in front of you!
Your Vida Studio, Installed
An Essential part of every Vida Studio System is the installation. When you purchase a Vida, we come to you too. Our team will install and instruct to make sure you are ready to start spinning. We also include video chat instruction with each purchase. This assures that you are always able to have your questions answered with full attention to your details even after we leave.
Generally, an installation takes 1 full day, and our instruction tutorial another 1/2 day. We send a team of 2 to make sure everything goes smoothly and you are confidently driving the Vida before we hand over the keys. We have instructional videos to get you over the hump, and they are always there for your reference.
