360 Platform vs Overhead 360: Which to Buy?

What a 360 Photo Booth Is and How It Works
A 360 photo booth records video spinning all the way around the guest: they step onto a rotating platform (or stand under an overhead arm) and a camera travels the full circle, capturing the scene from every angle. The result is a striking slow-motion video with music and effects, ready to share in seconds.
Unlike a classic strip photo booth, a 360 booth records movement, not a still photo. That spinning camera is exactly what made it the star of weddings, birthdays and corporate events: every clip is viral content your guests post on Instagram and TikTok, and that brings you the next booking without spending on ads.
360 Platform or Overhead 360: Which One to Buy
The rotating 360 Platform is the most versatile and most requested option: the guest steps onto a circular base and the camera spins around them. Ideal for 1 to 5 people, it sets up indoors in minutes and it is the 360 machine most rental businesses start with. From €2,690 + VAT.
The Overhead 360 mounts the camera on a robotic arm that flies above the group, with no platform on the floor. It covers up to 14 people at once and works indoors and outdoors, so it fits outdoor weddings and large groups. From €3,290 + VAT. If you are torn between a 360 camera for intimate weddings or for big celebrations, that is the criterion: how many people, and whether the event is outdoors.
What It Costs and Why Buying Beats Renting
Buying a professional 360 photo booth starts at €2,690 + VAT (Platform) or €3,290 + VAT (Overhead), direct from the factory and with software, a 3-year warranty and free express shipping. Renting one for a single event runs about €350-600, so after 3 to 5 events the machine has paid for itself and the rest is profit.
That is why more and more photographers, event companies and founders buy their own spinning photo booth instead of subcontracting it: one investment builds a profitable business, you control the calendar, and 360 content sells itself. We advise you free of charge on which model fits your event volume.
