Gear Guide

Build your photo booth

Everything here is optional — Glitzycam works on the phone or tablet you already have. Add these to print, light and trigger like a pro.

A sample setup on an iPad. Android phones and tablets work too, and everything beyond your phone or tablet is optional.
  1. iPad, holder and tripod

    Any iPad, iPhone, or Android phone or tablet works.

  2. Diffused LED light

    Soft, even light from the front flatters everyone.

  3. Bluetooth shutter

    A selfie remote that starts a session from across the room.

  4. One or more photo printers

    Add as many as you like; each photo goes to the least busy one.

  5. Micro router for AirPrint (optional)

    A small router that gives your iPad and AirPrint printers a network of their own.

  6. Photo paper and ink

    Buy the kit made for your exact printer model, and keep a spare.
