360 Video Booth Rental in Singapore
A rotating camera arm that turns your guests into a slow-motion clip they can share before they even leave the party.
A 360 video booth is a rotating camera arm that films a guest or small group standing on a platform, producing a slow-motion clip of roughly 10 to 20 seconds that guests share instantly by QR code or AirDrop. Singapore rental is usually booked in set hour blocks with an attendant, backdrop and basic branding overlay included. Cost depends on duration, guest count, venue location and how much customisation you want, so treat any rate card as a starting point and confirm a fixed quote against your actual floor plan and guest list.
What a 360 video booth actually is
A 360 video booth is built around a motorised arm that orbits a camera around a guest standing (or posing, dancing, jumping) on a small raised platform. The arm circles the subject at speed, and software stitches the footage into a short slow-motion or bullet-time style clip, usually with a music track and a text or logo overlay added automatically. The guest gets the finished video on their phone within seconds, ready to post.
This is different from a traditional photo booth, which uses a fixed camera and often a printer. It is also usually the same thing as what some vendors in Singapore call a "360 photo booth". The terms get used interchangeably here because the output has always been a moving clip rather than a still, even when the marketing says photo. If a vendor's listing says 360 photo booth, ask directly whether the output is a video file or a printed still, because that changes what you can do with it afterward.
The appeal for event organisers is simple: the clip is inherently shareable. Guests post it themselves, which gives a launch, a wedding or a corporate party a wave of organic content the host never had to produce or pay for separately.
2. FormatFormats, clip length and platform sizes
Most 360 booth clips run 8 to 20 seconds. The full cycle per guest or group, including stepping onto the platform, getting a pose cue from the attendant, the spin itself and stepping off, typically takes 3 to 5 minutes. That cycle time matters more than the clip length when you are planning how many guests the booth can realistically get through in a given slot.
Platform size is the other variable that determines group size, and it varies by operator:
- Small platforms, roughly 1 to 1.2 metres across, usually fit one or two guests comfortably.
- Standard platforms, around 1.2 to 1.5 metres, fit two to four guests for group shots.
- Larger platforms exist for bigger group video, but they need more floor space and more ceiling clearance, so confirm availability and dimensions with your vendor rather than assuming.
Output is almost always digital first: a QR code or instant link to download the clip, sometimes paired with a live social wall display. Printed stills from the same session are usually an add-on, not a default inclusion.
3. Where it fitsWhich events suit a 360 video booth
The format works best where guests are dressed up, in a social mood, and have some natural downtime to queue for a few minutes. In practice that covers weddings and wedding dinners, corporate annual dinners and galas, product launches and roadshows, retail and mall atrium activations, university orientation events, and F&B or retail store openings. It is weaker at events where guests are seated and working through a fixed programme with little free time, such as a tightly timed conference, unless you build a dedicated break into the run sheet for it.
If you are planning a themed night, a 360 booth pairs well with a live opening act, for example a bhangra dancer and dhol entrance or a short Bollywood dance set that gives guests something dramatic to film and then re-create on the booth themselves.

4. LogisticsSpace, power and technical requirements
This is the section most organisers skip, and it is the one that causes same-day problems. The arm needs a clear rotation radius, the unit needs stable power, and outdoor use has real limits. Confirm every row below against the specific unit you are booking, since specs differ between operators.
| Requirement | Typical spec | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Floor space | Around 3m x 3m clear | Arm needs full rotation clearance plus room for the attendant and a short queue line |
| Ceiling height | Roughly 2.4m to 2.7m minimum | Lower ceilings restrict arm angle and can rule the unit out entirely |
| Flooring | Level, hard or low-pile | Thick carpet or uneven floor makes the platform unstable |
| Power | One dedicated 13A socket, sometimes two circuits | Shared or overloaded circuits cause the unit to trip mid-event |
| Connectivity | Stable wifi or vendor-supplied data | Instant sharing depends on upload speed on site |
| Outdoor use | Covered, dry, wind-sheltered area only | Rain and strong wind are safety and equipment risks for the spinning arm |
360 video booth rental cost in Singapore
There is no fixed market rate we can print here, and any site that quotes you one flat number without asking about your date, venue or guest count is giving you a placeholder, not a quote. What actually moves the price is duration, platform size, location, day of week, and how much branding or extra output you want. The table below shows how tiers are usually structured rather than what they cost in dollars.
| Package tier | Hours included | Platform size | Typical inclusions | Cost position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | 1 to 2 hours | Small, 1 to 2 guests | Attendant, basic overlay, digital download | Lowest |
| Standard | 2 to 4 hours | Standard, 2 to 4 guests | Branded overlay, music, social sharing station | Mid-range |
| Premium | 4 hours or more | Standard or large | Custom branding, props, printed stills, extended attendant support | Highest |
On top of the tier, expect the quote to move for: weekend versus weekday bookings, peak season demand (year-end corporate dinner season and the wedding season both push lead times and prices up), venues outside the central areas or requiring island transfers such as Sentosa, extra attendants for high guest counts, and any custom overlay design or printed output. Ask your vendor to itemise these separately rather than accept one bundled number, so you can see what you are trading off if you need to cut the budget.
The most expensive mistake: not checking ceiling height and floor space before signing
Organisers book a 360 booth off a brochure, then discover on event day that the venue's ceiling height or available floor space does not fit the arm's rotation radius. At best this means a cramped, slower setup with an awkward guest queue. At worst the unit cannot be installed at all, and the deposit is gone along with the slot. Send your vendor the venue's floor plan or site photos, and the actual ceiling height, before you confirm the booking, not after.
How booking works, from enquiry to event day
Booking follows a standard sequence, and skipping steps is usually what causes last-minute scrambling.
- Enquiry: share your date, venue, estimated guest count and roughly how many hours you want the booth running.
- Proposal and quote: you get a package recommendation and an itemised price based on the details above, not a generic rate card.
- Venue confirmation: floor plan, ceiling height and power point location get checked against the unit before anything is locked in.
- Deposit: a deposit secures the date and unit. Booking terms, cancellation conditions and rescheduling policy are set out in our terms and conditions, worth reading before you pay.
- Final details: guest count, overlay branding text or logo file, and run time are confirmed roughly one to two weeks before the event.
- Setup and breakdown: the attendant arrives early to set up and test the rig, typically 60 to 90 minutes ahead of go-live, and handles breakdown at the end.
Lead time matters. For a standard weekday corporate event, two to four weeks' notice is usually workable. For weekend weddings, launches during year-end corporate dinner season, or anything in November and December, book six to eight weeks out if you can, since units and trained attendants get booked up fastest in that window.
7. ExtrasAdd-ons and customisation
The base package covers the spin, the clip and basic sharing. Most add-ons sit on top of that:
- Custom branded overlay with your logo, event name or a sponsor's mark on every clip.
- A chosen music track or sound design rather than a default library track.
- Printed stills pulled from the same video session, for guests who want something physical to take home.
- Props, themed backdrops or coloured lighting to match the event's visual identity.
- A live social wall that displays clips in real time on a screen near the booth.
- Dedicated vendor-supplied data connectivity, useful at venues with weak wifi, to keep upload and sharing fast.
If the 360 booth is one element of a bigger entertainment lineup, it is worth planning the full run sheet together. Our act type overview covers performance options that pair well with a photo or video activation, and our dancers in Singapore page is a good starting point if you want a live opener before guests move to the booth.
Frequently asked questions
What is a 360 video booth?
A 360 video booth is a rotating camera arm that films a guest or small group standing on a platform, producing a short slow-motion clip, usually 10 to 20 seconds, that is shared instantly by QR code or AirDrop. It is distinct from a traditional photo booth, which uses a fixed camera and often prints a still rather than delivering a video file.
How much does 360 video booth rental cost in Singapore?
Cost depends on hours booked, platform size, venue location, day of week and how much branding or printed output you add. There is no single fixed market rate, so expect a quote built from your specific date, guest count and venue rather than a flat rate card. Ask for an itemised breakdown so you can see which line items are optional.
How much space does a 360 video booth need?
Most units need roughly 3 metres by 3 metres of clear, level floor space and a ceiling height of around 2.4 to 2.7 metres minimum, though this varies by unit and platform size. Always confirm the exact figures with your vendor against your venue's actual floor plan and photos before booking, not after.
How many people can use a 360 video booth at once?
It depends on platform size. Small platforms around 1 to 1.2 metres typically fit one or two guests, standard platforms around 1.2 to 1.5 metres fit two to four, and larger group platforms exist but need more floor space and ceiling clearance, so confirm with your vendor rather than assuming.
Can a 360 video booth be used outdoors?
Only in a covered, dry, wind-sheltered area. Rain and strong wind create both an equipment risk and a safety risk for the spinning arm, so fully open-air outdoor use without cover is generally not advisable. Check the specific outdoor policy with your vendor if your event is partly or fully outdoors.
How far in advance should I book a 360 video booth in Singapore?
Two to four weeks is usually workable for a standard weekday event. For weekend weddings or events during peak season, roughly November through December, book six to eight weeks ahead, since units and trained attendants get booked up fastest during that window.
What is the difference between a 360 photo booth and a 360 video booth?
In the Singapore market the two terms are usually used interchangeably for the same spinning arm format, and the output has always been a short video clip rather than a printed still. If you see a listing called a 360 photo booth, ask directly whether the final output is a video file or a printed photo, since that changes how guests can use and share it.
