360 Photo Booth Rental Craze: A New Spin on Event Fun

Interest in photo booth rentals is surging – searches for “photo booth rental” are up 22% – and one big reason is the 360° photo booth (aka spinning selfie booth) craze. This trendy booth puts a fresh spin on event photography and has guests buzzing. Instead of the old static snapshot, a 360° booth uses a rotating camera arm to capture guests in a dynamic slow-motion video from every angle. It basically gives everyone a mini red-carpet moment! Here’s how a 360 booth compares to a traditional photo booth and why it’s the must-have addition for modern events.

360° Spinning Selfie Booth vs. Traditional Photo Booth

Traditional photo booths snap still pictures and print out filmstrip-style strips for guests. In contrast, a 360° spinning booth captures a slow-motion video as the camera revolves around you. Instead of static poses, guests can move and have more fun while the spinning camera records it all. And because these videos are instantly shareable, a 360 booth delivers a viral wow factor that classic booths can’t match.

Why 360° Booths Shine at Corporate & Gala Events

At corporate parties, fundraisers, and galas, a 360° booth is an instant crowd magnet and ice-breaker. The rotating camera rig draws people in, and custom video overlays (with your logo or theme) turn every share into free publicity. Plus, it adds interactive glamour – guests love capturing their full outfits and the venue in one sweeping shot, turning a photo corner into a show-stopping attraction.

Tips to Rock a 360° Booth at Your Event

• Center Stage: Give the booth a visible, roomy spot (about 12’ x 12’) so everyone can join the fun. 
• On Theme: Use props, backdrops, or branded overlays to match your event theme and add extra flair. 
• Build Hype: Promote the 360 booth beforehand and during the event (signs, shout-outs). Encourage guests to share videos with your event hashtag. 
• Staff Up: Have an attendant to guide guests and keep things running smoothly.
