AI photo booth vs 360 video booth: which suits your event?

Choose an AI photo booth if you want every guest to leave with a branded, styled photo; choose a 360 video booth if you want slow-motion videos made for Instagram reels and WhatsApp status. For a classic, elegant look, a vintage photo booth is the third option. All three share to guests' phones in seconds.

We build and run all three booths in Kochi. This guide compares what guests get, how many people fit, the space each needs and the events each one suits, so you can pick the right one, or the right pair.

What does an AI photo booth do?

The DSLR & AI photo booth takes each photo with a DSLR camera and studio lighting, then AI restyles it into a creative look you choose, from a festive theme to your campaign's style. The finished photo reaches the guest's phone by QR code, WhatsApp or email in seconds. It has the smallest footprint of the three, 2 × 3 ft, so it fits stage corners and registration areas.

What does a 360 video booth do?

On the 360 video booth, guests step onto a platform while a motorised arm circles them and records cinematic slow-motion video. Each clip is set to music, branded and sent to their phone within seconds. It is the most shareable of the three: the clips are made for reels and status updates, which puts your event, and your branding, on guests' social feeds.

When is a vintage photo booth the better choice?

When the look matters more than the tech. The vintage photo booth uses retro-inspired filters, custom backdrops and frames designed for your event, so every photo feels timeless. It suits elegant wedding decor, anniversaries and theme nights, and you get the full gallery afterwards.

Which booth should we choose for our event?

Can we book two booths together?

Yes, and it is common at weddings and large launches: the 360 booth for video, plus the AI or vintage booth for photos. Two booths also halve the queue. Our operator runs each booth for the whole event.

Questions we get asked

What is the difference between an AI photo booth and a 360 video booth?

An AI photo booth gives each guest a styled still photo: a DSLR takes the picture and AI restyles it into the look you choose. A 360 video booth gives a short slow-motion video: a motorised arm circles guests on a platform, and the clip is set to music. Photos suit keepsakes and branding; videos suit Instagram reels and WhatsApp status.

Which is better for a wedding?

The 360 video booth is the favourite at receptions and sangeet nights, because the slow-motion clips with music are made to be shared. For an elegant, classic look, the vintage photo booth suits wedding decor well. Many couples book a 360 booth with one of the photo booths.

Which is better for a corporate event or brand launch?

The DSLR and AI photo booth. Every photo carries your branding in the frame and the AI styles can follow your campaign theme, so each guest leaves with a branded image on their phone.

How do guests get their photos or videos?

On their phone within seconds, by QR code, WhatsApp or email. You also get the full gallery of photos or videos after the event.

How many people fit in one shot?

The DSLR and AI photo booth takes 1–4 guests per shot, the 360 video booth 1–3 per spin, and the vintage booth 2–4 per shot.

What do the booths need at the venue?

One 5A socket and an internet connection for instant sharing. Space is 2 × 3 ft for the AI booth and 4 × 4 ft for the 360 and vintage booths. Send your branding at least 3 days before the event.
