Nice video that exact components i started my booth with 2 years ago. I use dslr photo booth pro Less than dark room and updates on 75.00 a yr. If you want them good for 2 booths.

[@RollingWithUs]

Thank you for having all the details 🙂

[@LaDiscoGuishbac]

I’ve been waiting for you to drop this video! Thank you Barr!

[@mike._.feliciano6782]

Nicely done

[@ireneaguilar9258]

you are awesome!

[@ernestohuizar1661]

Awesome video!!! Question, the external flash you mentioned, would that take place of the included strobe? And how easy to replace the ring light if it becomes damaged? I want to make sure that it’s easy to swap parts out if anything malfunction. Thx!

[@broccolihart1]

I'm getting business ideas for this spring and summer.....i have a feeling it's gonna be a big one.

[@idrissangom9203]

Curious to know how did it go for you? I have a similiar feeling and would love to hear your experience!

[@broccolihart1]

@@idrissangom9203 Hi, I think it went well. The photobooth business never dies out as folks are always celebrating birthdays and weddings. I'm still in business.

[@idrissangom9203]

You are the man . We been waiting on this video . You drop the best videos to help djs grow their business

Gr8 stuff

[@darlenecampos5263]

Started my business this weekend thanks to this video!Purchased everything that was recommended. However during the event some photos were coming out dark and at the end of the event external flash was Not flashing at all but camera was still taking pictures dark.Can someone please give me some kind of advice ??

[@pierredelux2319]

For wedding i think that this photobooth will be better than a ipad one because of the quality of the pictures and the print! Do you use it more than the aura ipad booth?

[@theonlyali1470]

Hey man amazing video, I love it! Thank you so much! I am having one issue with the picture quality, so I wanted to ask you in darkroom software what are the camera settings looking like for you? I brought all the same camera that you are using 70D.

[@colinbuckley39]

You've inspired me to get a photo booth I've ordered the charmer like the T12 but with an led strip inside the centre stand. Do you have a disclaimer before clients print their photos stating they agree to their pics posted on your website gallery/youtube channel

[@carlhoult8768]

hello barr! been following your vids for years now, much love. i’ve just purchased the darkroom booth 3 software, i already had a surface pro 4 lying around and was just going to use a ring light as it’s only going to be used for home use for my little house parties over xmas, which sample template do you normally duplicate and use for your events mate? i thought i could use the mirror one but that setup doesn’t seem to work on the tablet only unless i put it in an additional monitor so i’m pretty limited to the basic touch screen template i’m guessing, any help is appreciated my friend😃

[@aberrantproductions6018]

That’s dope I’m definitely going to invest in one after my speaker upgrade

[@sypho23]

Bro make it easy to be successful! Appreciate all you hard work Barr!

[@MarlonAce]

As you mentioned... refurbished tablet & camera are an excellent option. Amazon sells a 4 year warranty for "renewed" surface pros and canon cameras.

[@Dcrusoe]

Great vid, but where did the camera flash mount to inside the booth box?

[@360photoboothsouthflorida]

I would love a follow-up video to this one. Did you end up adding an iPad to the back? If so does it allow the guests to see their pictures and share them?

[@kaylamccarthy8507]

hey! I know this is a huge ask but would you be able to do an updated video with updated products and product list? a lot of the items linked are no longer available. I would love to have your opinion on other options for products like the printer.

[@kyleheywood1132]

I would love this as well

[@photofundiphotography8655]

me to, as i am considering buying the shell and building my own photo booth

[@loribiggs2718]

How do you make adjustments in the camera or computer if it malfunctions? The remote may not always work well in those situations. And removing to do updates etc.

[@carlobelmonte7250]

Im curious about the cooling system of this, isn't it prone to overheat? I mean the charges and adaptors are also close to the monitor/screen which might affect the temperature inside.

[@javierlagos5968]

este video seria excelente en español.

[@christopherbarreto3911]

@DJbarr - What are all the things you zip tied on the back, I see the Surge protector, USB dock, Power adapter for Surface pro, then two more items you dont mention.

[@johncolon8614]

You covered it well.

[@hugoj494]

Love the new intro

[@shelbukowski1443]

Hi, DJ Barr, what is the white panel at the top of the booth for?

[@greenkarmaeventservices]

Hi DJ Barr . Great video! I think it's important to mention how some cameras will not run continuously while connected to a power source. I have been hesitant to buy a camera for my photo booth setup because of just that reason. I would hate to buy a camera that will not take anymore pictures after it runs out of power. I don't want to make any assumptions but do these cameras run continuously while plugged in?? Thanks!

[@johnycameraman1484]

I am not certain it was responded or not, but you can get an adapter that goes into the battery compartment AND stays plugged in and gives you continuous power...this is for most batteries

[@tomhowes3373]

Amazing content as always

[@christianpena3277]

This video was very cool thanks for the how to! =D

[@djjesse1294]

Nice job Barr. Can't wait to see at gig. Take care

[@ChinoLatino2189]

Awesome vid bro thanks again, iv learned a lot from you over the past few months, you have the most informative videos, the community really appreciates you. I bought a T6 like 2 years ago, do you think that would suffice for the photobooth? I also have an iPad Pro 10.5 inch so I could go with that but I feel iPad photobooths don’t get as much credit as a DSLR one

[@radientproductions9799]

Great stuff

[@zenphotocraftmedia8326]

Use the samsumg tab 7 to mirror

[@meat88nz]

Hi DJ Barr, Does the usb ports have to be AC powered and why is this so. Thanks

[@davidgeorge1294]

Blueprint by Forrest Gump! Lol Just kidding. Great job!

[@maimady3831]

I have a Nikon D3200 camera, would it be fine to use it in the photo booth?

[@angadchana2087]

Bro this video is dope I learn lots each time

[@ryanbrooks7569]

If your are trying to mirror your screen from your surface on your iPad to see the photos, Duet display works great and it’s only 10 or 20 bucks In the App Store on your iPad. It pretty much makes your iPad another display that can be mirrored or extended from your main display. You do have to keep your iPad plugged in to your computer tho. Hope this Helps!

[@BayardoRugama]

Thank you so much! I will look into this.

[@dianasisco1537]

I hope you haven’t gotten this question before I read pretty far down into the comments but does it work with an iPad 12 pro 12.9 inch or perhaps another iPad

[@slow_paste]

are Sony cameras compatible for any photobooth software?

[@nkgaming4508]

What program do you use to take the photos?

[@NickSpinelli]

Barr da buildaaaaa!!!

[@jaysdjservice5621]

love this Dude ⬆️ lol

[@djrod4205]

Hey Barr awesome video! What settings to do you have on your camera? (ISO, aperture, etc)

[@gabby811ify]

My flash system is hooked up the same way but my booth came with an umbrella. How would that be hooked up?

[@wbuttry1]

My photobooth is me i might get a box to do it with but right now I will be doing it by hand went to school for 150 hours and many photo projects to get a certificate in portrait and wedding photography. So I offer photography as a service to for weddings and private corporate shoots and school pictures.

[@kaioceanlove]

is it cheaper to build one like this than to buy one that is already complete?

[@parallel_saintt9204]

Hey dj barr, im applying for a part time dj for weddings, is it hard at first? Also how much of tips do u collect? And how many hours do you put in a week?

[@thatjessedlife1479]

If you’re working for an event company they should have ya shadow some of the guys for a while. I’m 2 years in with my own DJ company. Gotta practice as much as you can, daily for best results. Get the basics locked in and then you’ll be able to concentrate more on the people and vibe your couple wants. Tips for weddings isn’t necessarily a thing, you get paid lump sum upfront but, it does happen. Hours per week is about 3-10 NON-event hours. Per wedding I’m usually gone for 12-15 hours day of. Cheers brotha!

So how much would you say you spent on doing it yourself as opposed to purchasing someone's company unit?

[@colinbuckley39]

I bought the surface pro 4 L7, canon T6, DPN RX1 printer all 2nd hand from ebay, Charmer edge photo booth new from the states using dslr booth and a skb case. All roughly cost just over £3000. It's a big investment

Can this be dropped off at events with out a employee being on site?

[@IXxK3v1NxXI]

Is darkroom booth 3.0 compatible with iOS?

[@DJArielG]

Back side exposed... camera looks crooked (doesn't that affect the pictures?)

[@Elniniss]

You can probably get a portable monitor and connect it to your surface pro instead of the ipad

[@CesarMartinez-rp6oh]

Hey Barr, did you end up using a Ipad on the back. Im currently building similiar booth and it uses a Ipad 10.9 which is not the most common size.

[@BayardoRugama]

nope never used it.

The camera has a gift "event"

LED lights do that Barr no issues

[@robertkermidas5144]

How much would you say this entire build cost? Around $5k, or more? Thanks for the great video

[@teyannabailey8569]

You can get a brand new booth for less than $5k so this should be way cheaper.

So big question. How much do you charge for this add on?

Some companies charge $600

The light is causing flickering .. change camera from 50hz to 60hz

[@galleriafotografica]

how much only shell...I m interesting

[@hernanzapata372]

How much can I charge for rent?

So basically you're not building, just putting together, right? Change the title of the video

Smash that like Button. 👍

[@richardpowell4667]

Can you just use a good quality web cam? If so, what do you think would be OK?

[@wbuttry1]

by the way bar you are not building it you are assembling it .

[@PURENTERTAINMENT845]

Im in need of a photo booth how about you sell me yours? 😆

[@blomproductions]

On my mac it says Photo Booth

[@pydepiperproductionsllcjon7585]

To be honest that's alot of work, it's also expensive and most often people drinking will damage it. What I do is more personal. I prefer to save a Playlist and just take the photos myself. People enjoy the interactive part, I take better photos and when I print them I can do a quick edit to fix color issues and they are much happier with the photos. When I travel I want less gear not more things to get damaged or stolen.

If that works for you, thats great!.

[@havockghost619]

Nothing 8s good to go without a test strip. Right? my ladies?

[@rubensanchez2437]

Photo Booth (two words)

[@guiguigodro]

It's an assembly guide not a build

[@iandeharo8666]

Photo booth is pronounced with two words

[@DjNavSydney]

Doesn't your photo booth program have option for a viewing station this is what the iPad is use for.

[@johncolon8614]

Its a lot cheaper than buying from a company which is about 7000.00 and up. My shell came from odyssey .
