360 vs Glam Photo Booth: Which to Hire in Sydney
A straight comparison of the 360 and glam photo booths for Sydney events: what each one produces, what each costs, and which suits your room.
Last reviewed
The 360 booth makes video and the glam booth makes photographs. Pick the 360 if you want a shareable clip, and the glam booth if you want a portrait guests keep. In Sydney the 360 Booth is $1,099 for three event hours and the Glam Booth is $899, so the choice costs $200 either way.
The difference in one table
| 360 Booth | Glam Booth | |
|---|---|---|
| What it makes | Slow-motion video from every angle | Black-and-white editorial portrait |
| Guests get | A clip on their phone | A print in their hand, plus digital |
| From (3 hours) | $1,099 | $899 |
| 4 / 5 hours | $1,199 / $1,299 | $999 / $1,099 |
| Bookable online | Yes | Yes |
| Suits | Launches, activations, parties, dance floors | Weddings, galas, awards nights, black tie |
Both include a host for the full hire, unlimited sessions, props, the standard backdrop range and a digital gallery afterwards. The glam booth takes a custom print template for $25, the 360 comes with a custom video overlay included, and either takes a printed backdrop for $50.
What the 360 booth actually does
Guests step onto a low round platform and a camera arm orbits them while they move. The output is a slow-motion clip, shared to a phone on the spot.
It needs floor space for the platform and the arm, and it wants people willing to be watched.
What the glam booth actually does
The glam booth is a still camera with studio lighting and a black-and-white finish. Guests get a print on the night and the digital file afterwards. It does not depend on the room’s own light.
If you wanted movement, this is not the booth.
So which one?
- A wedding: the glam booth, usually. If the reception runs late and loud, the 360 is a fair second choice for the back half of the night.
- A product launch or brand activation: the 360 Booth. See brand activation photo booth hire for how it works on a stand.
- A gala dinner or awards night: the glam booth. It does not need the floor.
- A milestone birthday: either. The 360 if the room is young and loud; the glam booth if the point is a photograph on the fridge afterwards.
- A tight room: neither, necessarily. The Open-Air Booth needs only a clear area near a power point and is quoted rather than booked online.
What it costs to be wrong
The two booths are $200 apart at every duration. All the prices are published on the pricing page, and the photo booth hire Sydney guide covers the other booth types. Send us the venue, the run sheet and the crowd through the contact page and we will tell you which one we would bring.
Quick answers
What is the difference between a 360 and a glam photo booth?
A 360 booth makes video and a glam booth makes photographs. Guests stand on the 360 platform while a camera arm orbits them, producing a slow-motion clip shared to their phone. The glam booth is a still camera with studio lighting and a black-and-white finish, producing an editorial-style portrait and a print.
Which is more expensive, the 360 or the glam booth?
The 360 Booth. It runs $1,099 for three event hours, $1,199 for four and $1,299 for five. The Glam Booth runs $899, $999 and $1,099 for the same durations, so it is $200 less at every length.
Which booth is better for a wedding?
The glam booth, more often than not, because it produces a portrait guests keep and it does not need the floor space the 360 depends on. The 360 suits the later, louder part of the night.
Which booth is better for a corporate activation?
The 360 Booth. The clip leaves the stand on a phone within seconds. The glam booth takes a logo-branded print template for $25, and the 360 carries a branded video overlay at no extra cost.
Can we hire both at the same event?
Yes, they are separate bookings and price independently.
