The 360 photo booth trend has exploded. These spinning camera rigs create slow-motion videos that make every guest look like they're in a music video or action movie.
Weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, and brand activations all want 360 booths. The appeal is simple: Instagram-worthy content that guests share immediately, creating organic marketing for events.
A single 360 booth can generate $500-2,000 per event, and you can book multiple events per weekend once established.
Here's how to start a profitable 360 photo booth business in 2026.
