How to build the ultimate wedding Photobooth 

hey, i also buy cp1300 for photobooth, but is little slow with printing? or it just seems to me

​@@blazfiser6395its slow. Print 1 min.

Ha I agree! I blame Sony and Nikon for not making life easy -P

Use Canon@@FStoppers hahaha

Genius but really shouldn't be necessary. -P

This booth was just for my own wedding. I don't plan on setting it up again. That being said, I do have some ideas for the future. As for Luma, it just finds the photobooth software on the network and pulls from it. It worked pretty well and only disconnected a few times. Luma is the only reason I really wanted to use DSLRbooth. If I didn't need guests to look at older photos to print, I would have gone with a different program. -P

@@FStoppers what other programs did you consider?

Hello I am having the same issue! did you find a answer ?

Yeah it's an interesting idea. There was a copyright case where a monkey was found to be the owner of the copyright because he clicked the shutter. I'm just guessing here but if you completely designed the set, the lighting, and the overall composition, I'd think the photographer would still own the copyright. Imagine a video that runs on loop forever. What happens if you decide to "push the shutter" and pull a frame out of the video. Are you suddenly the copyright owner? These are all very good and interesting questions. -P

I KNOW! The printer and network worked super well and I could print from my phone immediately. Connecting a Nikon or Sony camera to a computer on the same network and figuring out how to easily send them all to the photobooth software was not easy at all. Makes me think of a few ideas....-P

I don't know why he had trouble connecting his camera. We run 6 booths with canon cameras connected to a surface pro and a dnp 620 and they work fine. Can easily set this up in about 15 minutes. Literally just download DSLR booth to your surface pro and the software auto detects your compatible camera. Dnp driver takes about 5 minutes to install. Nikon cameras are compatible too. They have a compatible camera list.

@@tonystark6263 As he mentioned, he’s using a Sony camera which is not directly compatible with DSLR Booth. Yes, if you’re using a Nikon or Canon then it’s simple to connect.

@@tonystark6263 do you have a video on how you set everything up?

@@blackzun22 google ATA Photobooth, sell Photobooth shells and guided me through everything. Only person I can think of that can do some sort of step by step on RU-vid is canary capital rentals channel.

Never heard of this. Must be a new thing at weddings or something just in the midwest. -P

Can I get more information on this setup

Well I don't see drunk people touching the printer but maybe you could make a lockable system for it (or DNP could make something like this). If I were doing this professionally again, I'd def buy two printers and have an alternating array for redundancy and speed. -P

I've been in IT for over 20 years and been using my custom photo booths for about 5 years with 2 Canon selphy printers without issue. But I have an attendant managing everything so nobody touches my equipment but them

I can tell you from years of experience in the live event picture field, dye sub printers are usually fairly bullet proof

@@marcdaniele3733 hey can I get some information on your set up I am a newbie

Man I tried all of this but none of your suggestions were worked for me at all. 1) Newer Nikon cameras like my D850 would not save the memory card when tethered. 2) DSLR Booth constantly ran out of buffer or something because I could only take 1 photo every 10 seconds. If I fired faster than that, the images following the first one were not saved to the computer at all. I contacted DSLR booth directly and they said their software was designed only to fill in photos to a template so “rapid” firing of more than 1 image a second would be lost. 3) I also bought a Bluetooth clicker for the Sony camera and have one for the Nikon. I’ve found all Bluetooth triggers to have a delay. Pocket wizard trigger is the de facto standard for remote camera triggering by all sorts of sports photographers so it’s absolutely the best method. I used pocket wizards for all my previous photo booths back when I was doing wedding photography full time and they never failed me. Trust me, I wanted to come up with a much simpler setup but if I wanted to use DSLBooth and their Luma share program, without losing any images, this was the best route I could build. The Printer and hotspot was actually the easiest part of the entire build. -P

So if I’m understanding correctly the dslr program and the cannon will work just fine for a photo booth as long as a I take a picture every 10 seconds?
