Selfie Pod & Retro Pod Photo Booth Hire
Our two freestanding photo booth options are the Tower Selfie Pod and Retro Pod. Both are open-style systems that are ideal for wedding receptions, corporate dinners, birthdays and other special occasions.
Both the Selfie Pod and Retro Pod use professional dye-sublimation printers for the very best quality prints. We include a big box of fun dress-up props and speech capsules free of charge. We also have a selection of backdrops to choose from including light wood, retro starburst, foliage, sparkly silver and glittery gold designs.
Selfie Pod Tower
The Selfie Pod Tower takes four photos with approximately 10 seconds between each shot, giving guests time for quick prop changes. The selfie tower uses a high-quality DSLR camera for the very best results. The print is then issued within 20 seconds for your guests to take away as a memento.
Retro Pod
The Retro Pod can be set to take one, three, or four photos depending on the print layout you'd prefer for your event. We can change the border/background of the print to your taste or theme, and if your venue has a good Wi-Fi or EE signal then as well as taking away their print your guests can send a copy of the print directly from the pod to their phone or email address there and then to share on social media.
With the Retro Pod users can also add graphic 'stickers' such as hats, beards, bow ties and speech bubbles to their photos via the touch screen and even add their own doodles - we can disable this feature if you'd prefer it wasn't used.
Another feature of the Retro Pod is its Boomerang GIF creator where it will take a series of photos and turn them into a Boomerang GIF that the user can send to themselves. While this feature cannot be used while the pod is set to take and print photos you can split your hire period so it runs part of the session as a Boomerang Creator and the rest of the session as a photo pod printing photos - just let us know how you would like your event run.
With either pod a secure, password-protected, online gallery is created for you shortly after the event that you and your guests can download and share from.
The Retro Pod is pictured above and the Selfie Pod is pictured below.
