360 Photo Booth vs Mirror Booth: Which Is Right for Your Event?

What is a 360 photo booth?

A 360 video booth uses a camera that moves around guests, often on a platform, to record a short video. Slow motion, overlays, music and delivery options depend on the supplier and software. Ask to see a sample clip and confirm how guests receive their files.

What is a mirror photo booth?

A mirror photo booth places a camera behind a mirror-style display. Guests follow prompts to take still photographs. Printing, touchscreen features, props and digital sharing depend on the specific setup and package, so check the inclusions before booking.

Compare the result you want guests to keep

Video: A 360 booth may suit an event where the goal is short motion clips. Confirm the video length, delivery method and whether guests can participate comfortably.

Photos and prints: A mirror booth may suit guests who want still photographs and a physical keepsake, if printing is included. Other photo booth formats can also provide prints; a mirror enclosure is not required for that experience.

Check space, access and staffing

There is no single footprint that applies to every 360 or mirror booth. Ask for the exact setup dimensions, clearance around moving equipment, queue space and power requirements. Share the layout with your venue and ask how guests with mobility needs can participate.

Confirm attendant support, safe operating procedures, setup time and what happens if equipment stops working. If you are considering two stations, ask each supplier about separate space, staffing and costs rather than assuming a combined package is available.

Check rental hours, prints, file delivery, staffing, travel, branding and overtime charges. Prices vary by supplier and package; the booth name alone does not tell you the total cost or what is included.
