My DIY Photo Booth shell.

I made this shell to use for a digital photo booth that runs on an iPad using the Luma booth Photo Booth app. It was very easy to make and didn’t cost a lot of money. I built it on a Friday and was using it the next day. It has already generated repeat business, and paid for itself.  The materials to make this were purchased at Home Depot and cost less than $125.  The body is made of PVC piping and adapters, along with a couple of pieces of plywood. The ring light was purchased from Walmart and it cost $15. I am using an iPad Air fourth generation for 2020 but you can fit just about any iPad in this ring light.

Wow. What a brilliant idea! Genius actually! Thanks for sharing!!

[@flyrobin2544]

Very smart construction, it's the easiest build I've seen. Using a flange was very surprising! Thank you for sharing.

[@logisticalstyles]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@jacksspinza.k.adjlilg8343]

LOGIC! THANK YOU My wife and daughter bought this light 6 months ago, but I never thought of utilizing it this way. That technological mind of yours coupled with your artistic ability, the mindset to create your own photo booth with out spending $$$ and have a dope looking dj presentation is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Thank you and of course we want 1. God Bless💪🏿👊🏿🙏🏿

TY brother, much appreciated. Very gracious of you to share this valuable information

[@reginaredwood5533]

Thank you, how tall did you make it, what size pipe did you use

[@logisticalstyles]

I made the pipe 42" and tit is 3" in diameter.

[@DJEKTM]

Outstanding Video, I am making mines now. I purchased a 3" pipe and the tri-pod would not fit so I am going to get a 4" pipe. Is that what you used?

[@logisticalstyles]

Try the 4" pipe. I think I used a different stand for the one I use in the video which is why it fit so snuggly in my 3" pipe. I've made a few more of these and have had to make some adjustments since the stand wasn't fitting. I've removed the center pole of the stand and extended it to fit the opening. I'm going to do an update video to show what changes I've made to the process.

[@luzg4868]

Hey there, this is awesome. Where are you located and how much do you charge?

[@logisticalstyles]

I'm in Atlanta, GA. I was selling this model for $225. Email me at [e-mail] for more details.

[@ronaldguy5474]

Awesome build. Have you had problems with customers having to switch light for photos?

[@logisticalstyles]

Not yet. All of my events so far have been in well lit places. The color lights are more for attention getting. This is why I prefer the 18” light because when you switch to White, it gets really bright.

[@kenivegas5922]

This is amazing!!! How much???

[@miltthomas31]

What size pvc pipe is needed? And base? Trying to make one for my daughter

[@logisticalstyles]

You can use either 3" or 4" diameter pipe. I cut it to 40" in length.

[@djkev1on151]

How much for you to build.? I’m interested

[@celestevarnado206]

Thank you for sharing! I’m excited to get one going. What thickness is the round wood for the iPad/ring light? I’m feeling like the 1 inch is too heavy. Thank you for the awesome video!

[@logisticalstyles]

One inch is definitely too heavy. I’ve used 1/8 and 1/4 inch plywood. The 1/8” was good enough. I’m still looking for some other options for the back plate though.

[@celestevarnado206]

@@logisticalstyles ok great! I’m going to try it with 1/4. Thanks for all your great tips! I’m a photographer and looking to add my iPad with luma booth but all the options online were way too pricey!

[@celestevarnado206]

@@logisticalstyles Do you feel like it is sturdy enough? My head unit has some give in it but it does feel mostly stable. I ended up using 1/8 wood.

[@moralesteam8878]

This is awesome! Can I ask how much do you charge to rent it out, thanks in advance.

[@logisticalstyles]

It varies depending on length of time but it gets around $400 for three hours.

[@emmadenise48]

When you build it, does it come with the ring light?

[@logisticalstyles]

Yes it does, or you can choose your own.

[@Laweracaro21]

How can I buy one ? I’m interested!

[@logisticalstyles]

Sorry I missed this comment. You can email me at [e-mail] for more info!

[@pnayimportexport]

How much would you charge to build one like this?

[@logisticalstyles]

I sell them for $275. That doesn't include the iPad/tablet and iPad case.

[@carayiku]

[@estrellacuc812]

What size iPad will fit in this light?

[@logisticalstyles]

I use this with an iPad Air which is 10.9". The full sized 12.9" iPad Pro will not fit.

[@SitWitBritt]

Hey!! The wood circle back.. would I get that from home depo!

[@logisticalstyles]

You can get the wood from there but it has to be cut into a circle. I use a jigsaw to make the cut.

[@SitWitBritt]

@@logisticalstyles thank you for replying!!

How do we order? Do you ship to Texas?

[@logisticalstyles]

I am currently using the iPad Air 4th Gen.

[@RiteshSoorkia]

@@logisticalstyles how is the quality of the photos?

[@MekelleTube]

with all respect can you tell me what you are used for base?

[@logisticalstyles]

I use an 18” round piece of wood. My local hardware store, Home Depot, sells them already cut for $15.

[@MekelleTube]

@@logisticalstyles Thank you so much for your response

[@courtneylyons7975]

How long are the pieces of pipe you using?

48 inches

Thank you!!😊

[@courtneylyons7975]

Is that the size of the 2 pieces that this attached by the middle?

[@palomaquintana3074]

Can you please inbox me or tell me what application toir using for the iPad for pics

[@logisticalstyles]

I use the Lumabooth app. It's the most affordable but I also liked Snappic when I did the free trial.
