360 Photo Booth Platform Sizes: How to Choose Between 68, 80, 100 and 115 cm

Published 2026-10-23 · Photo Booth Machine Factory (WiViKIOSK)

The platform is the 360 photo booth. Everything else — the arm, the camera, the software — can be upgraded later, but the diameter you buy decides which jobs you can take for the life of the machine. WiViKIOSK builds its 360 photo booth machine in four diameters — 68, 80, 100 and 115 cm — and the honest answer to “which size?” is: it depends on whose bodies need to stand on it, doing what, in front of which client. This guide works through the four sizes the way operators actually use them.

What platform size really controls

Diameter controls three things. First, capacity: how many guests can stand, move and perform without stepping off the edge. Second, the shot: a wider platform lets the camera arm pull group compositions and full-body fashion shots; a narrow one frames tighter, more intimate clips. Third, logistics: platform size drives case size, vehicle space and the floor footprint you must negotiate with the venue, including the safety margin around the rotating arm. Buyers fixate on the first and get surprised by the third.

68 cm: the solo and beauty platform

The 68 cm platform is a one-person stage. It suits beauty and fashion formats — a single guest turning slowly while the camera catches the outfit — salon and boutique activations, and operators whose events are small and whose transport is a car boot. Its limits are real: two guests is a squeeze, and any choreography is out. If your market is birthdays and weddings, this is not your platform; if your market is retail beauty and solo content, it is exactly right and the cheapest way in.

80 cm: the wedding standard

Eighty centimetres is where couples fit comfortably — the bride and groom, two friends, a parent and child — with room to sway, spin and hold props without watching their feet. It is the size the wedding industry has settled on, and the size most rental fleets buy first. It still travels well, still fits a normal venue corner with its safety margin, and it covers the overwhelming majority of private-party work. If you buy one platform for a general rental business, buy this one.

100 cm: the corporate size

At 100 cm, three guests stand comfortably and the brief changes: this is the team photo size. Corporate clients ask for groups — the department, the award winners, the product team around the launch object — and 100 cm gives the camera a group composition instead of a queue of pairs. The platform is heavier and the footprint bigger, which is why corporate operators, who work in convention centres and office atriums rather than barns, absorb the logistics easily.

115 cm: the group and activation platform

The 115 cm platform is the activation machine: four or more guests, performers, product moments, the works. Brand agencies specify it because the clip has to hold a crowd scene, not a couple. It demands the most floor, the biggest case and the most careful safety briefing — and it earns the highest per-event rates of the four sizes because so few operators own one. If your pipeline is agencies and launches, this is the differentiator; if it is weddings, it is over-purchase.

The sizing mistakes we see

Three recur. Buying 68 cm for a wedding business, then turning away the couple-plus-friends shots that are the product. Buying 115 cm “for capacity” and discovering the venue footprint — platform plus arm swing plus operator position — does not fit the rooms you actually work. And forgetting that guests perform: a platform that fits four standing still fits two dancing, so size for movement, not for a photograph of people standing politely.

When the answer is no platform at all

Some rooms should not hold a platform: stages, dance floors, heritage floors, reveal events where the machine must not be seen. That is the case for the overhead 360 photo booth, whose spinner hangs above the guests and leaves the floor completely free. Fleets that own both formats quote the room, not the machine — and win jobs that platform-only competitors have to refuse.

The short version

Solo and beauty work: 68 cm. Weddings and general rental: 80 cm. Corporate groups: 100 cm. Activations and crowds: 115 cm. No floor to give: overhead. If you are choosing your first machine and remain torn between two sizes, choose the larger of the two only if your vehicle and your venues allow it — capacity can be managed with queue discipline, but a platform that does not fit the room cannot be managed at all. Send us your venue types and guest counts via the quote form and we will sanity-check the size against the work you describe.

Footprint: the number venues actually approve

When a venue coordinator approves your setup, they are not approving the platform diameter — they are approving the working footprint: platform, plus the arm's swing radius, plus your operating position, plus the queue's standing room. As a planning habit, allow roughly a metre of clear space around the platform on all sides and treat the result as your real product when you pitch the room. This is why the 80 cm platform works in wedding venues that would technically “fit” the 115: the bigger machine's footprint, not its diameter, is what gets refused at the site visit.

Transport reality check

Each size step changes the case, the carry and the vehicle conversation. The 68 and 80 cm platforms travel like luggage; the 100 and 115 cm travel like equipment. Neither is a problem — until the operator who bought the 115 discovers their estate car disagrees. Before ordering, measure three things: the platform case against your vehicle's load space, the venue doors on your regular circuit, and the carry from car park to setup point. Platforms are moved more often than any other part of the machine; buy the size your logistics enjoy, not merely endure.

Frequently asked sizing questions

Can guests dance on the smaller platforms? Light movement, yes; choreography belongs on the 100 and 115 cm sizes, where feet stay inside the diameter when guests stop posing and start performing.

Does platform size change video quality? Not directly — the camera and light decide quality. Size changes composition: wider platforms allow fuller framing and group shots, narrower ones keep the subject dominant in frame.

Should a first-time buyer stretch to 100 cm “to be safe”? Only if your bookings already include group work. Capacity you rarely use is weight you always carry; the 80 cm remains the rational first purchase for general rental, with a second, larger platform as the classic year-two addition.
