What is a 360 Photo Booth?
A 360 photo booth is an immersive video experience where guests stand on a secure platform while a high-definition camera revolves around them at high speed. It captures a full 360-degree slow-motion video, often enhanced with professional lighting and digital effects.
Unlike traditional static booths, the 360 experience records the movement and “vibe” of the moment. At Mae Photo Booth, our setups include studio-grade lighting and instant sharing capabilities, allowing your guests to text or email their high-production videos directly to their phones for immediate social media posting.

Understanding 360 Photo Booth Rental Cost
One of the most common questions we hear is, “How much does a 360 photo booth cost?” Because every event is unique, we provide custom quotes rather than “one-size-fits-all” pricing. Several factors influence the final investment:
- Duration: The number of hours you need the booth active.
- Date & Season: Peak wedding seasons and holidays typically see higher demand.
- Customization: Custom digital overlays, branded start screens, or themed physical props.
- Logistics: The location of the event and the complexity of the setup (e.g., stairs vs. elevator access).
We pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no hidden “travel fees” for our core service areas. We provide a premium experience that reflects the value of your event.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much space is required for a 360 photo booth?
For a safe and comfortable experience, we typically require a 10×10 foot area with a level floor. This allows enough clearance for the rotating camera arm and space for guests to enter and exit the platform. We also require access to a standard power outlet within 20 feet of the setup area.
How many people can fit on the 360 booth at once?
Our professional-grade platforms are designed for safety and stability. Depending on the specific model requested for your event, the booth can typically accommodate 2 to 4 adults at a time. This makes it perfect for couples’ shots or small groups of friends celebrating together.
How do guests receive their videos?
We set up a dedicated sharing station alongside the booth. As soon as the camera finishes its rotation and the software processes the video, guests can instantly send the file to themselves via text message, email, or Airdrop. In most venues across Chicago and Naperville, this happens in under 60 seconds.
Can the 360 photo booth be set up outdoors?
Yes, we can accommodate outdoor events provided there is a flat, solid surface (like a patio or deck) and protection from the elements. We require an overhead covering (like a tent) to protect the electronics from direct sunlight or unexpected rain, and we must have access to a reliable power source.
Does the 360 photo booth take still photos?
The 360 booth is specifically designed for high-end, moving video content. While it doesn’t take traditional still photos, the videos it produces are much more engaging for social media. If you need traditional still photography, we recommend adding a standard photo booth to your package for the best of both worlds.
Is there a limit to how many videos can be taken?
