DIY photo booth build under $300

Okay, so you won't be able to make the ENTIRE photo booth for under $300. The iPad and the camera will run you about as much, if not a little more. And of course you would need tools--the jigsaw comes in handy here--but for the actual wood and ring light, you can easily make this for under $300.

Nice idea, congrats and many thanks. A question would be, what is the booth software in order for the iPad to communicate with the DSLR camera?

[@falknermakes]

I'm going to make a video for this soon on my photography channel. I'll hit this up when it's complete.

Thanks for the video, this by far is the best DIY I've watched. My only question is how would you tilt the camera for height adjustments? Could you possibly create an adjustable stand?

[@falknermakes]

It's a great idea. I need to make a follow up video about some adjustments I made as well as an overview of the software I use. The stand is key. I made it more portable and improved some aesthetics.

Great photo booth idea. I'm looking to make something like that for my dj business. Do you have to plans for that booth.

[@falknermakes]

I don't have plans yet, but I hope to in the near future. It was definitely a "test" run of sorts when I made it.

How does the wood cleat system work to make the inner circle plywood connect to the ring light? Isn’t there a chance it out fall forward? Sorry I’m a newbie.

[@falknermakes]

No risk of falling forward. I'm well overdue in making a follow up to this video that walks through some of these questions. Will do in the coming weeks, hopefully.

[@bobguzman9970]

would you possibly share the build plans for this

[@falknermakes]

I don't have plans yet, but I hope to in the near future. It was definitely a "test" run of sorts when I made it.

i dont have a nail gun. :( what else can i use?

[@falknermakes]

You could get by with glue and screws for sure, it's just harder to hide but it could be a lot stronger. I ended up reinforcing some of mine with screws as it was.

[@jolandabakker-koning]

I have the same question.

[@falknermakes]

I'll try to make the overview video this weekend. Thanks for watching!

[@unsopken0623]

What app did you use?

[@falknermakes]

I use an app called booth.events and it works as well as any I've tried. For the "premium" version, it costs about $25 an event, which isn't much if you charge $5 a person or a flat fee.
