The difference in a nutshell
The photo booth produces photos, GIFs and boomerangs, and the photos can be printed on the spot: a keepsake to hold or share. The Video Booth 360° produces a short video: guests step onto a platform and a camera rotates around them, then the video lands on their phone in under 10 seconds, with slow motion, effects and music. The first is perfect for keepsakes, the second for social media.
When to choose the photo booth
The photo booth is the right choice when a printed keepsake matters: weddings, private parties, corporate dinners, guestbooks with messages. It works well with guests of all ages, even those who don’t love being in front of the camera, and takes up little space. The Box and Premium Photo Booths print on site, and with the Premium the quality of photos and prints rises to studio level; with the Social Photo Booth, guests receive photos, GIFs and boomerangs on their phones via QR code, AirDrop, email or SMS, with printing as an option.
When to choose the Video Booth 360°
The Video Booth 360° is at its best when the goal is social media visibility: product launches, brand activations, parties with a young crowd. The videos are made for Reels and TikTok, 3–4 people step onto the platform at a time, and the moment itself becomes a show that draws in other guests. It runs on batteries, so no power socket is needed near the station.
Space, guests and duration
The photo booth fits even in a reception area or a corner of the room. The Video Booth 360° needs clear space around the platform for the arm to rotate, and a bit of coordination, as each spin involves a group. With lots of guests and little time, the photo booth handles more people faster; if you want a highlight of the evening, the 360 creates a queue that’s entertainment in itself.
What if you want both?
At many events the combination works: the photo booth for photos and prints, the Video Booth 360° or the GlamBot for videos. Guests enjoy two different experiences and you get two types of content. You can compare the options and see the price straight away with the online quote.
