How a 360 Photo Booth Actually Works (And Why Everyone Wants One)

Ever seen a crowd form around a spinning camera at an event? That’s a 360 photo booth — and it’s one of the most exciting ways to get your guests hyped, engaged, and sharing your event on social media.

But how does it actually work?

Let’s break it down.

What Is a 360 Photo Booth?

A 360 booth captures slow-motion videos as a camera spins around your guests standing on a platform. Think red carpet glam meets Instagram Reels — it’s not just a photo, it’s a moment.

At Snap 360 Photo, we use a rotating camera arm (with GoPro or DSLR) to record you from every angle, then instantly turn it into a shareable video with:

  • Custom overlays
  • Slow-motion effects
  • Music & branding
  • Instant sharing via QR or iPad station

From stepping on to sharing your video — the whole thing takes under a minute.

How It Actually Works (In 5 Steps)

  1. Step on the Platform
    One to three guests stand on a sturdy, circular platform. Props optional — hype required.
  2. Camera Spins Around You
    A motorized arm with a mounted HD camera rotates 360° as you move, pose, or go full Beyoncé.
  3. Your Moment Is Captured
    We record a 5–15 second video in HD with smooth slow-motion built in.
  4. Instant Video Editing
    We add your custom graphics, music, and branding on the spot — within seconds.
  5. Share It Instantly
    Use our iPad station to text or email yourself the video, or share straight to Instagram or TikTok.
