Take portrait-quality photos in 10 minutes.
Six steps, one case, and one allen key that lives in the foam next to everything else. No second person, and nothing to configure. We send you the film of somebody doing it for the first time before your booth ships.
The setup, unedited
The full ten-minute setup in real time, unedited, filmed with someone who has never touched the booth. Their hesitation stays in. One continuous take, no cuts, no music, no voiceover.
Must prove: That ten minutes is a real number and not a marketing one. A cut in this film destroys its entire value, because the cut is where a viewer assumes the hard part was. This page is worthless without it.
Needed for launchIt is all in one case.
The booth, the base and the cable. One case, on wheels, that arrives at your door and goes back in the same box. No second delivery, no crate, and no list of things to source yourself — and no backdrop to hang, because the booth lights the person rather than the wall behind them.
Open the case
It arrives on wheels, upright, like a large suitcase. Lay it flat, pop the four latches, lift the lid.
You did it right if: Everything is in cut foam, each piece in its own shape. Nothing is loose.
Opening the case
The case being opened on a ballroom floor, foam layout visible, every piece in its own slot.
Must prove: Step one is opening a box, and the inside is organised rather than daunting.
Wanted soonStand up the base
The heaviest piece, at the bottom of the case. Set it where you want the booth and step on the foot lock.
You did it right if: It does not rock when you push the top of it.
The base, and the foot lock
Hands setting the base down and a foot pressing the lock.
Must prove: That the heavy part is one movement, done standing up, by one person.
Wanted soonDrop the booth onto the base
It seats one way only — the notch lines up or it does not go in. Push down until you feel it click.
You did it right if: You heard a click, and the booth does not lift off when you tug it.
The booth onto the base
The booth column being lowered onto the base with the alignment notch visible in frame.
Must prove: That it seats one way only, so there is no wrong way to do it. The notch has to be legible or the frame fails.
Wanted soonPlug it in
One cable into an ordinary wall outlet and it runs all day. If you asked for a battery build, there is no cable — it arrives ready to run and lasts up to ten hours.
You did it right if: The ring around the lens comes on.
One cable, one outlet
A single cable going into an ordinary wall outlet. Deliberately unglamorous, no styling.
Must prove: There are no adapters, no batteries and nothing to pair. Plainness is the point.
Wanted soonScan your event code
The screen asks for it in large text. Hold the QR code we sent you up to the iPad — or type the short code underneath it if you would rather.
You did it right if: Your event loads in seconds and the screen says your event name back to you.
Scanning the event code
The iPad showing its one line of large text asking for the event QR code, with a phone held up to it. Get the on-screen text legible — it is the whole point of the frame.
Must prove: That the only configuration is holding up a code, and that the screen is one clear instruction rather than a menu to navigate.
LaterTake the first one yourself
Stand on the mark, press the button, watch it work. Now you know what to tell people when they ask.
You did it right if: You are holding your own portrait about fifteen seconds later.
The first portrait, taken by whoever set it up
The person who just set it up taking the first portrait and laughing at themselves.
Must prove: The emotional close of the page: you did it, it works, and you now know what to tell people.
Wanted soonAnd if it does not work?
You text the on-call number in your confirmation and a person answers — not a bot, and not a ticket number. Somebody is on call for the whole of your event, evenings and weekends included, because that is when events happen. We can see the booth from here, so most of what goes wrong we can fix without you doing anything. If the booth genuinely failed, you do not pay for it.
Before the day
Find an outlet, or ask for battery
A wall socket within reach is the easy version. If there is nowhere to plug in, tell us before it ships and it arrives built for battery — up to ten hours.
Leave it room
About the footprint of a doorway, plus space for people to stand back a little.
Watch the video once
We send it before the booth ships, so the first time you do it is not the first time you have seen it done.
That is the whole job.
Everything else on the night happens without you. Guests walk up, take their own portraits, and go home with them. Nobody has to run it, and nobody has to be asked twice.
