Innovative Photo Booth Accessories To Wow Your Clients
These photo booth accessories can elevate the experience for guests, and in return, can be used to increase revenue. Let’s start off with the backdrops.
There are several options available, but your selection may hinge on the clientele you aim to attract. For example, this Spiral 360 backdrop photo booth accessory delivers a visual grand statement. This will intrigue guests to go inside the enclosure and will give them privacy from the other guests at the party.
In addition, it includes 44 RGB lights to brighten up the atmosphere with a color of your choice. Charging clients an additional fee for including this enclosure in their photo booth rental can further enhance your profit margins. A general rule of thumb, the more photo booth accessories you have, the more you can charge. Keep note that you will need to include the cost of extra labor to set-up and pack down this backdrop enclosure.
The semicircle backdrop shows off the 360 booth from across the room with an opening that reveals all the fun inside. It makes for an opportunity to have a grand walk with a red carpet or gold bollards as you walk into the 360 booth platform. This backdrop includes 24 RGB lights with different color options.
This arc enclosure can be used with the overhead 360 booth with the flexibility of having 2 separate pieces. Each piece has 3 RGB tube lights and have different color modes. The lights can change with the music or by normal fixed color change. An open enclosure allows guests to easily observe others enjoying themselves, which often encourages them to queue up and participate in the excitement.
If you don’t purchase an enclosure, you might need to buy separate lights on tripods to ensure adequate lighting. There are two reasons for this, safety and video quality. You want ample lighting around the booth to make sure guests can see where they are walking.
The best quality videos happen when the light is dispersed evenly around the 360 booth. This light tripod can go up to 79″ (200cm) in height with 180-degree light angle options. Adding more lighting to a dark room can indeed make the 360 booth stand out more appealingly for guests.
The enhanced illumination highlights the booth, creating a more inviting and engaging atmosphere. We would recommend these lights as they are proven to be very bright. This product offers different color filters, color temperatures, dimming, remote control, channel control (control multiple lights at once), light angle adjustment, battery operation or AC power and made with aluminum alloy shell instead of plastic. It does not include the NP-F battery.
There are a few options available for managing power cords. First is to utilize the battery and not have to run any cords or to run each light cable under the 360 booth platform and connect to a power board, then run a single extension cord out to the wall power. Always have cords taped to the ground with non-floor damaging adhesive or keep the floor area zoned off so guests cannot trip over.
We always recommend black sandbags to be on tripods for safety reasons. This product is available in packs of two and we would recommend buying two of these and only using three for events and having the fourth as a backup. In the photo booth industry, you will find that technology can have malfunctions and that is why it is always recommended to have spare equipment in your vehicle to quickly resolve the issue.
Cameras
There are a few options when it comes to which camera to use for the 360 booth. It may also depend on which 360 booth you choose, whether it has the right holder for the camera. Alternatively, it will be easy to buy a bracket separately to add-on. The camera video quality needs to be high and also to be able to produce slow motion videos.
Cameras with 60fps or higher will produce smooth slow-motion videos. These slow-motion videos look mesmerizing and guests will boast these videos on social media. The connectivity between the software needs to be smooth to the camera and also to the sharing station.
For these reasons we recommend the iPhone 15, 14 or 13. They have high performing processes and high camera quality with long lasting batteries. Not to mention they are very easy to travel with their small size and are very durable. Several software photo booth apps can be downloaded easily on the iPhone and seamlessly connect to other devices to utilize a sharing station.
The GoPro is another option that is cheaper than the iPhone and has a high-quality camera. Again, this camera is very tough and small and even if you dropped it, it would not break. The DslrBooth software on windows links to the GoPro to take advantage of its camera. The GoPro also does not overheat like some professional camera’s do and have long battery life. It is best to go with the latest GoPro to stay up to date with the GoPro software.
Canon and Nikon cameras can also be used with the 360 booth. They are very expensive but usually offer better camera setting adjustments and have better senses, so you have more control over the detailed quality of the video. A wide lens is required, preferably a 10mm lens. The camera can be connected via DslrBooth software. To see different Canon and Nikon models that are suitable for the 360 Booth, click on this link.
One of the most important photo booth accessories you will need are the fun props. There are a lot of online options to purchase props and we have linked a generic pack that can be used for almost all occasions. It is a good idea to try and have a pack of props for each occasion and this will make the event feel more customized for the client. Bubble guns have been very trendy lately as the slow motion makes it look enchanting.
