360 photo booths, explained
What Is a 360 Photo Booth?
A 360 photo booth is an event attraction where guests stand on a circular platform while a camera on a rotating arm spins around them, capturing video from every angle. Despite the name, it records video rather than still photos. The rig only captures raw footage: it is the 360 photo booth software that adds the slow motion, effects, music, and branded overlays, then delivers the finished clip to guests by text, email, QR code, or AirDrop.
A complete setup needs four things: a 360 spinner, a camera such as an iPhone or GoPro, lighting, and 360 photo booth software. The spinner and camera are commodity hardware; the software decides how every video looks, sounds, and gets shared. That is the part Snappic builds. It works with any spinner brand and powers 360 photo booths for 8,000+ event businesses worldwide, from $29 per event.

360 Photo Booth FAQs
What is a 360 photo booth?
A 360 photo booth is an event attraction where guests stand on a circular platform while a camera on a rotating arm spins around them, capturing video from every angle. Despite the name, it records video rather than still photos. The rig only captures raw footage: it is the 360 photo booth software that adds the slow motion, effects, music, and branded overlays, then delivers the finished clip to guests by text, email, QR code, or AirDrop.
How does a 360 photo booth work?
Guests step onto a platform, typically 32 to 46 inches wide, and a camera arm rotates around them while recording at up to 120 frames per second. 360 photo booth software like Snappic then applies slow motion, speed ramps, overlays, and music, and sends the finished video straight to each guest's phone within seconds.
Does a 360 photo booth take photos or videos?
A 360 photo booth records video, not still photos. The camera captures high frame rate footage as it spins, which the software processes into a slow motion clip showing guests from every angle. Operators who want still photos as well usually pair a 360 booth with a traditional photo booth.
How much space does a 360 photo booth need?
Plan for at least 10 by 10 feet of clear floor space. That covers the platform, the full rotation of the camera arm, and a safe buffer for guests waiting nearby. Ceiling height is rarely an issue since most setups stay under 7 feet tall.
How many people fit on a 360 photo booth?
Between one and five guests, depending on platform size. A 32 inch platform comfortably fits one or two people, while 39 to 46 inch platforms hold three to five. Larger groups create more dynamic videos but need a sturdier platform rated for the combined weight.
What equipment do you need to run a 360 photo booth?
Four things: a 360 spinner (the platform with a rotating camera arm), a camera such as an iPhone or GoPro, event lighting, and 360 photo booth software to capture, edit, and share the videos. Snappic provides the software, not the hardware: it runs on iPhone and iPad and adds 60+ video effects, branded overlays, music sync, and instant sharing on top of any spinner brand.
How much does a 360 photo booth cost?
Buying a 360 photo booth setup typically costs $1,500 to $10,000 for the spinner, camera, and lighting. The software is sold separately: Snappic's 360 photo booth software starts at $29 per event and works with any spinner brand. Renting a 360 photo booth for an event usually runs $199 to $599 per hour depending on location and package.
