If you’re searching for a 360 video booth in Calgary, you’ve probably noticed there are two main types available: the traditional spinning platform and the newer overhead 360 video booth.
While both create engaging slow-motion videos perfect for social media, they deliver very different guest experiences.
At Hip Image, we’ve chosen to invest in an overhead 360 video booth because we believe it offers a safer, more accessible, and more premium experience for corporate events, conferences, galas, brand activations, Stampede parties, golf tournaments, and community celebrations.
Here’s why.
Unlike a traditional platform 360 booth where guests stand on a raised circular platform while a camera arm spins around them, an overhead 360 booth captures dynamic video from above.
Guests remain comfortably on the ground while our rotating camera creates cinematic footage with dramatic movement and custom effects.
The result is the same type of share-worthy branded video—without many of the limitations of a raised platform.
Guest safety should never be an afterthought.
Traditional platform booths require participants to step onto a raised surface while a rotating camera arm moves around them. At busy corporate events—especially when guests are wearing cowboy boots, high heels, dresses, suits, or carrying drinks—this can create unnecessary challenges.
Our overhead 360 booth keeps guests safely on floor level throughout the experience.
There are no elevated platforms to step onto or off of, making the activation feel more comfortable while reducing potential trip hazards.
For event planners, that’s one less thing to worry about.
One of the biggest reasons we chose an overhead 360 system is inclusivity.
Corporate events bring together people of all ages, abilities, and mobility levels. Every guest should feel welcome to participate.
Because there’s no raised platform, our overhead booth is easier to enjoy for:
Creating memorable experiences means making them accessible to as many people as possible.
One of the biggest frustrations with platform 360 booths is limited space.
Once three or four people climb onto the platform, things can become crowded quickly.
Our overhead 360 booth provides a much larger capture area, allowing us to comfortably accommodate:
The result is more laughter, more interaction, and more memorable content.
After all, people attend events together—they want to be in the video together.
Corporate events often have hundreds—or even thousands—of attendees.
A great activation isn’t just about producing beautiful content. It’s about creating an experience that moves efficiently.
Because guests simply walk into the capture area rather than stepping onto a platform, the overall flow is smoother and faster.
That means more guests can participate throughout your event, maximizing your investment and increasing brand engagement.
The purpose of a 360 booth isn’t just to create video—it’s to create marketing.
Every video we produce can be customized with:
Guests receive their videos instantly by text, email, or QR code, making it easy to share across social media while extending your event’s reach long after it ends.
That’s experiential marketing that keeps working.
At Hip Image, we don’t choose technology simply because it’s trendy.
We choose experiences that work better for our clients and their guests.
