Alphashot XL G2 - what problem does it solve?

If you have ever finished a photo session only to realize you still need to measure the product at another station, retype label data into a spreadsheet, or chase missing logistics data before publishing - this system is built to end that loop. Every extra step adds time, cost, and human error risk.

The result is often incomplete product records, delayed listings, and a process that does not scale without adding headcount.

Alphashot XL G2 brings product photography and product data capture into one workflow.

What you get in a single session

Place your product on the turntable and walk away with everything you need to publish a complete, marketplace-ready product record.

Photos, 360, and video

Photos, 360, and video

Capture professional visuals with studio-quality lighting from 170 individually controlled LED panels and a Canon EOS R camera system. The curved back wall gives you more shooting space inside a compact studio footprint. Templates and presets keep every session fast and consistent, regardless of who runs it.

Dimensions and weight

Dimensions and weight

The integrated MDC (Master Data Capture) module measures and weighs your product directly on the turntable. No separate station, no extra device, no manual entry. Data goes straight into product metadata.

Label data

Label data

AI OCR in Orbitvu Station reads what is printed on the product - descriptions, ingredients, volume, and EAN codes - and saves it as structured, ready-to-publish data. It reads what is there and does not invent content.

Alphashot XL G2: who it is built for

E-commerce and marketplace teams

If you manage thousands of SKUs and every listing needs visuals, dimensions, weight, and structured data, you can produce everything in one session and push it directly to your PIM or e-store.

Photo studios and content agencies

If throughput and consistency win your accounts, one operator can capture up to 250 products per day. With Alphashot XL G2 MDC, you can also offer product master data capture as an additional service and reach new client segments without extra stations or staff.

Fulfillment, quality control, and digitalization teams

If your process is scattered across stations and people, replace that chain with one workstation. Capture photos, dimensions, weight, and label data in a single session.

How is Alphashot XL G2 different from the original Alphashot XL?

Alphashot XL G2 is a hardware and software evolution of the original Alphashot XL - same footprint, far more capability. The biggest change: the original captures photos, while Alphashot XL G2 captures photos and complete product data in one workflow.

Frequently asked questions

What is Alphashot XL G2 MDC?

Alphashot XL G2 MDC is an automated product photography system that captures images, 360 spins, and video together with product data - dimensions, weight, and label information - in one workflow. It is built for e-commerce, studios, and fulfillment, quality control, and digitalization teams.

What can you capture in one session with Alphashot XL G2?

Photos, 360 spins, video, label data through AI OCR, and - on the MDC variant - dimensions and weight. Everything is saved as structured, publish-ready product metadata.

What is the difference between Alphashot XL G2 and Alphashot XL G2 MDC?

Both variants capture photos, 360, video, and label data with AI OCR. Alphashot XL G2 MDC adds laser dimensioning and integrated weighing on the turntable, so you capture complete master product data in the same cycle.

Does AI OCR require the MDC variant?

No. AI OCR label scanning is an Orbitvu Station software feature available across the full Alphashot XL G2 line. Only laser dimensioning and weighing are specific to the Alphashot XL G2 MDC.

How is Alphashot XL G2 different from Alphashot XL?

Alphashot XL captures stills, 360, and video. Alphashot XL G2 keeps the same footprint and adds 170 individually controlled LED panels, a sliding camera rail, a curved back wall for more shooting space, AI features, and - on the MDC variant - dimensioning and weighing. Throughput rises from up to 150 to up to 250 products a day.

How many products can Alphashot XL G2 photograph per day?

Up to 250 products a day with one operator, depending on product type and the content you need.
