Read this before you book one
Most 360 pages open with how exciting the format is. The useful information is what the room has to give you, because a 360 platform is the one setup that a venue can genuinely refuse to accommodate.
Ceiling height, not floor space
The arm carries a camera and sweeps above head height. You want roughly ten feet of clearance and nothing in the swing path. Floor space is rarely the problem; chandeliers, low soffits, draped canopies and ceiling-mounted AV are. Tell us the venue when you enquire and we will tell you whether the room works before you pay a deposit.
It needs to be seen
Put a 360 platform in a side room and it dies. The format works because people watch other people use it, and the watching is half the entertainment. It needs a spot with sightlines from the floor.
One standard outlet
Same as the open-air booth. One regular circuit within about twenty-five feet, and we tape our own cables flat.
What guests actually get
Two or three people step onto the platform, the arm orbits, and they get a short slow-motion clip sent to their phone within seconds. No print. That is the trade, and it is worth being clear about it: a 360 gives you shareable video and a lot of noise around the platform, while the open-air booth gives you a physical strip somebody keeps.
Comfortably it holds two or three. Four gets tight and people start bracing on each other. If big group shots matter to you, the open-air booth fits about a dozen in one frame and is simply the better tool for that job.
Where it beats the open-air booth
Trade shows and conference floors
This is where the 360 is genuinely the right answer. At a trade show you are not entertaining a seated room, you are stopping foot traffic across six or eight hours, and guests arrive in a trickle rather than a wave. An idle open-air booth reads as furniture. An idle 360 platform, lit, with the arm parked, reads as something about to happen. That difference is the whole reason to pay for one.
Product launches
Clips get posted the same night with your hashtag on them, which is not reliably true of a printed strip. Our corporate setup puts your branding on the output.
Late-night wedding energy
Once the dance floor is going, a 360 holds a crowd better than a queue for prints does. Some couples book the open-air booth for cocktails and dinner and switch the last hour to 360.
Running both
You are not choosing permanently. We can split your booked hours between the open-air booth and the 360 platform, or run both if the room and budget allow. Since both formats cost the same, splitting costs you nothing extra beyond the hours themselves.
The glam booth is the third option, and it goes the other direction entirely: stills, black and white, portrait lighting.
What it costs
The same as everything else. Packages start at $550 for two hours and step up through four-hour deluxe, staffed the whole time, with no travel fees wherever the event is. A $100 deposit holds the date. Full numbers are on the pricing page.
