Social Media Photo Booth

Hire from £495.

The open pod with the hidden camera

Our most popular booth, and the simplest to work: a camera hidden behind the screen, guests standing in front of it, one button to press. The shot lands on their phone and can be on Facebook or Instagram before they've walked back to their table. Some listings say selfie booth, some say social media pod - it's the same open setup either way.

It handles solo shots and squeezed-in groups, and the layouts cover everything from a single selfie to 3 and 4-shot strips, a 4-photo postcard and animated GIFs up to 10 frames. For corporate bookings we pre-set the frame with your logo and can set it to auto-post to the company accounts as well as the guests' own - our graphics team produces the overlays in-house.

The booth is digital-first, but a printer can travel with it: £75 buys the printer for the day and up to 400 8x4 prints, which keeps the guests who'd rather leave with something in their hand happy.

What you get

  • Hidden-Camera Pod

    No curtain and no operator's booth - guests stand in front of the screen, see themselves, and press the button.

  • Straight To Socials

    Photos go to guests' phones and post straight to their accounts, and corporate bookings can have the company pages set to post automatically too.

  • Every Layout Going

    Single selfie, large-plus-small composites, 3 and 4-shot strips, postcards and animated GIFs up to 10 frames - the booth cycles through the lot.

  • Props And Backdrop

    The dressing-up box travels with it, and a printed backdrop turns the pod's corner of the room into a proper set.

  • Printer Add-On

    £75 buys a printer for the hire covering up to 400 8x4 prints, for the guests who want something to pin on the noticeboard.

  • 24-Hour Support

    A walkthrough when we set it up, phone support at any hour while it's with you, and collection when it's over, all by our own crew.

Space, power and throughput

The pod stands 1m wide, 0.75m deep and 1.65m high and needs a clear 2m x 2m with 2.1m of headroom in front - the open front means the queue spreads wider than an enclosed booth's, so bear that in mind on narrow rooms.

It runs off a normal 13A 240V socket within 10m and turns over up to 200 users an hour. Happy indoors or out: grass and hard standing suit it, and concrete, wood chip and mixed ground are fine too, which makes it an easy fit for a tented pitch.

Branded kit, our own vans

The wrap work is where this booth earns its keep at launches and activation days - the emoji liveried pod in the gallery has worked Amazon events, and the overlays on the prints carry the logo every time. Our in-house graphics team produces the artwork, and branded prints are free with a week's notice.

It's one of five photo booths we own and run from the Rotherham warehouse, alongside the enclosed booth, the Magic Selfie Mirror, the AI photo booth and the 360 rig.

From £495 plus VAT. The printer add-on is £75 for the day and up to 400 prints, branding starts at £95 for the front panel, and a printed stretch backdrop is £275 - we keep and reuse that one, so repeat bookings don't pay twice.

How does it work for guests?

They stand in front of the hidden camera, see themselves on the screen, and press the button. The photo goes to their phone for posting, no app and no queue-jumping involved.

Single selfies, composites with one large and two or three small shots, 3 and 4-shot strips, a 4-photo postcard, and animated GIFs and Boomerangs up to 10 frames.

Can it run our company accounts?

Yes - for corporate bookings we can set the booth to auto-post to your own pages as well as the guests', with the frame pre-set to your branding.

Depending on the booking, one of our team can run it for you - tell us at quote time. Otherwise the walkthrough plus 24-hour phone support covers it.
