What Is a 360 Photo Booth and How Does It Work?

360 photo booth platform and camera arm

A 360 photo booth is a platform with a camera arm that spins around your guests and records a short video. Despite the name, it makes videos, not printed photos, which is why many people also call it a 360 video booth.

How a 360 photo booth works

  1. Guests step onto the platform.
  2. An attendant starts the booth and the camera arm spins around them.
  3. The booth records the video and adds slow motion.
  4. Custom overlays, branding and music can be added.
  5. Guests get their video by text or QR code.

360 photo booth vs a regular photo booth

A regular photo booth takes still photos, often from one fixed angle. A 360 booth records motion from every side, so guests can dance, pose and move. If printed photos matter most, a regular booth may fit better. If you want short videos that guests will share, a 360 booth is the better choice.

What people use it for

A 360 booth works well at weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, birthdays, corporate events, brand activations and red carpet parties. For events with a sponsor or a brand, the overlay can show a logo on every video.

What to plan before you rent

  • Pick a spot with open floor space around the platform.
  • Choose a place guests will walk past, near the party.
  • Tell your venue about the booth ahead of time.
  • Decide on your overlay and music before the event.
