If you attended the Photo Booth Expo this year one of the things you could not escape is 360 video photo booths. They were everywhere, and like them or not they are trending. The new Darkroom Booth software update adds new 360 booth options so you can offer this option to your customers. From within Booth software you can control the best selling 360 platform on the market – the OrcaVue. Now use the latest GoPro cameras with your 360 Booth for high quality and neat wireless connectivity. Light your 360 booth with the popular Lumecube cube light, now controllable from within Booth software. With Darkroom Booth Software, the OrcaVue 360 platform, GoPro camera and Lumecube light you have a turn-key 360 Booth solution.

Comment below with questions and let us know if you are using a 360 booth in your photo booth business.
I have a 360 video booth, I use a cell phone to record the videos, can I use the program with a cell phone? Can I send the videos to a folder on the computer and have the program take them from there and edit the video?
Hello Oscar, Darkroom Booth will not work with a cell phone. For 360 applications, Darkroom Booth pairs with the GoPro series of cameras. More information here: https://support.darkroomsoftware.com/portal/en/kb/articles/adding-a-gopro-camera
