Fotopod Booth Receives Most Innovative 360 Photo Booth of 2022 Award.
Fotopod launches an entirely ground-breaking and engaging video capturing experience.
Las Vegas, NV – Fotopod, an award-winning design and manufacturing company specializing in photo booth solutions for clients in the photography, events, and corporate sectors, will attend the 2022 Photo Booth Expo in Las Vegas. The company will unveil its 360°ORB, a completely innovative and engaging video-capturing experience that is set to hit the market in second quarter of 2022.
The 360°ORB includes an array of features that includes the Photo Booth industry’s first dual-controlled white plus RGB 360° Pixel Tube LED DMX and Smart App-controlled lighting technology, coupled with a patent-pending top-mounted modular planetary motor design, packaged in a sleek safety enclosure setup.
Fotopod owner and chief designer Tu Le and his team spoke during the Las Vegas pre-launch event about how challenging but rewarding it was to bring such a unique product to the video-capturing and photo booth market. The Covid-2019-2021 lockdown forced the team of technical scientists, electrical and robotics engineers to collaborate remotely on a sleek 360-degree video capturing pod that focused on ease of use, reliability, and safe user experience. The team also worked closely with Hollywood’s movie magic Imagineers to develop the 360-degree LED lighting and top-mounted motorized enclosure-capturing system.

Tu Le said, “I am so proud of our team’s success considering the lock-down, remote collaboration, and supply-chain challenges.”
The 360°ORB’s approach to high-end event ownership and public safety is evident in many designs and hardware features. Its curved partition provides an instant crowd control barrier, so there is no need for bringing and setting up traditional heavy rope/ribbon stanchions. The curved wall is also designed to hold up all the surrounding LED Pixel Tube Lights without the need for additional tripod lighting stands. Guests no longer need to stand on unsafe raised platforms or trip over tripod stands and messy cables.
The product also features a 360-degree spinning armature and dynamic counterbalance weight system. The patent-pending adjustable apparatus, designed to hold the camera capturing device, will immediately disengage from the motor assembly if an object is accidentally struck, such as an unaware guest. With its built-in Lithium Power Station, the 360°ORB has no loose wires or power cables, eliminating occupational hazards.
UK-based Corporate Livewire Awards named the 360°ORB the Most Innovative 360 Photo Booth Award -2022. The industry-picked judges felt the 360°ORB was the most vital entrant in the crowded 360 Photo Booth market, leading to their decision.
For Tu Le, he said, “It’s not a trend if you’re not the first one.”

January 2023- Los Angeles.
Fotopod has just released their latest, 16 million RGB colors, Dynamic-LED inflatable column add-on. These are so ethereal, and visually stunning when lit up! The Fotopod team has designed custom-inflated columns that 360°ORB owners can insert inside the arch-truss sections.
These fold (deflate) into a very small compact size, are easy to transport and are super simple to set up (since all the LED circuits and chips are housed inside the columns).
These glowing columns will give your event that dazzling accent lighting/glowing effect. The product is fully smart-app controlled, with built-in Bluetooth, and a music-on-mic FX sequencing option. Once the user blows it up (with the included 300w blower, in about 15 seconds), then the whole column will stay inflated for up to one week without needing to inflate again. This is an industry game-changer! No more loud, continuously blowing fans! Silence truly is brilliant.

360°ORB
Double-diffusion layered, 5600k white + RBG, smart app-controlled addressable LED pixel tube lighting. (9000 total Lumen @ 1.5 Meters)
Double-sided heavy stretch spandex curved enclosure cover. The default color is black. We can also add your own branding and logo design. (optional)
6ft diameter rug included. Default is Hollywood red color, with 1" black border. Custom print your logo and branding are optional.
Shown here is the 360°ORB Concept smart-app controllable LED rug.
Use a GoPro, iPhone, or high-end camera for photo/video capture. Shown here: Canon M50 + 9mm prime lens + iPhone 13 Pro running Touchpix App
(Devices are locally charged through the type-C cable and the included Lithium Power Station)
Customized Ulanzi LED ring light with 2x brighter than the original factory SMD chips @ 5600k output + 98 CRI.
Heavy-duty, low profile ball head 360 mount capable of 44lbs/19kg max load with built-in level bubble.
Huge 1.8" white LED 7 segment display. Programmed with 6 different speeds, and comes with two(2) wireless remote controls.
Patent-pending, curved aluminum rotating arm with adjustable boom lengths.
By using cutting-edge, slip-ring technology sourced from the robotics field, the built-in type-C cable can continuously charge your lighting/capturing device, even while the spinning arm is in high-speed motion!
Ingenious centrifugal counter-balance design, with interchangeable steel plate weights included.
Patent-pending magnetic clutch collision safety mechanism.
(Instantly disengages from the spinning arm if accidentally hit by guests or objects.)
Industrial robotics-sourced, custom fabricated planetary motor assembly (12V DC, 60 KG/CM Torque Rating)
360° Six(6) pieces pixel tube lights, Duel-Light Array™ technology + 16 million colors + 180 dynamic effects + music visualizer
BYOP (Bring Your Own Power)
Multi-port AC/DC/USB 50,400 mAh lithium battery power station with built-in LED panel light & charging adapter.
Did you know...The 360°ORB motor system can run for about 4-6 events (avg. 3hr event) before needing to recharge!
Patent-pending, triple-pole aluminum arch-truss with built-in bungee cord ties, two(2) laser-cut metal base plates with carry handles, and padded carry bags included.
The 360°ORB fits up to 8-10 guests, with a 7.3ft distance from the ground to the top arm. The mannequin shown is approximately 6ft tall.
Hang or mount physical props and stage effects from the arch-truss structure, such as chandeliers, disco balls, monitor panels, bubble/fog machines, etc.
Designed to be fully wheelchair accessible. The capturing enclosure also acts as a safety barrier between the participants and spectators. The ORB's massive 360 staging area can even fit furniture, larger props, strollers, or even small vehicles.
If the 360°ORB can fit into this tiny 13ft x 15ft studio space (see above photo), then it should most likely fit in many indoor locations and tight spaces.
Fotopod designed the aluminum arch structure to fit under US modern standard 9ft tall ceilings. With an overall footprint of only 8 ft diameter, the 360°ORB is more than capable of handling most venues size requirements.
The Ultimate 360 Video Capturing Rig Supported by the 360°ORB
The 360°ORB fits up to 8-10 guests, with a 7.3ft distance from the ground to the top of the capture arm. As shown in the photo above, the test mannequin stands at 6ft (183cm) tall. Therefore, there is still plenty of clearance for the taller guests.
The benefits of our patent-pending aluminum arch structure are that you can hang or mount physical props and stage effects from the arch-truss structure, such as chandeliers, disco balls, monitor panels, bubble/fog machines, etc.
Unlike typical metal or plexi-glass platform spinners, which can get wet and create a slipping hazard when using bubbles, you will not experience this problem with the 360°ORB, since guests will be standing on the non-slip rug. Feel free to integrate bubbles, fog machines, and other stage effects to help create that magical “slow-mo” video-capturing experience.
There is no need for bulky platform spinners with our 360 design. The enormous 6ft (183cm) diameter circular rug (aka 360 stage) is significantly safer and less awkward than jumping onto a raised metal stand.
Furthermore, with our customized printing options, you can brand a much larger surface area, and effortlessly fit more guests within the 360 arena.
To help elevate your company vision, email us your logo and we'll send you back a digital proof sample for free! Let us personalize, and professionally brand your 360 setup today. Your business deserves it!
Introducing the world’s first smart app-controlled, sound-activated LED circular rug. The hand-woven, nylon-based rug is thick, vibrant, and ultra-durable. The embedded LED’s are waterproof, crush-proof, and includes 180 different lighting effects. The whole rug quickly rolls up for easy transport. The LED rug can be plugged in and powered with the included Lithium power station.
Your custom branded 360°ORB is going to be lit!
It's not a trend if your the first one! What Fotopod is providing is a completely ground-breaking, ultra-reliable and engaging experience. The 360°ORB is Fotopod's patent-pending product with innovative 360° Dynamic LED lighting, top-motor modular design, all within a safety enclosure setup.
Our "movie-magic" Hollywood lighting experience has inspired us to invent a product that radiates pro cinematic-quality photos and videos. Imagine your client and guests sharing these unbelievable 360 videos through social media and their personal smartphones? With your branding attached to these shared impressions, this will surely promote and bring your business to another level!
Our premium 360°ORB setup can translate into more higher-end bookings and a constant revenue stream for your booth business. It truly is all about setting yourself apart from the competition. For example, we have started reaching out to our event planners and are instantly getting locked in for corporate booking events within the $900-$1200 per/hr range! This is how you set yourself apart! Here's your chance to be a part of the game-changing 360°ORB revolution!THE 360°ORB Team Tweet

360 Platform spinners are saturating the market, and they are unsafe.
So we invented a game-changing solution. It's not a trend if you are the first one!
Platform spinners can only fit 2-4 Guests using a raised platform. We designed the ORB to fit 8-10 guests. You now have the freedom to dance, jump or even sit on furniture!
instead of a dangerous platform guests can fall off, the ORB comes with a 6ft Diameter Red Carpet rug. You can upgrade the circular rug to have your own customized logo too!
We take lighting seriously. The ORB comes with 6pcs, 4ft tall, waterproof, 6000 total lumens, LED lighting tubes. The technology uses DMX protocol or smart app controlled.

Our massive, flat circular stage is accessible for people in wheelchairs, baby strollers and even owners of large pets. Did you know we tested the ORB to fit in a Ducati Desmosedici RR race bike! With the ORB, You can now say, "Yes We Can!"
Our patent-pending planetary motor assembly is engineered to give the most reliable and maintenance free setup. It has extremely high torque but still very light weight.The included quick-release mounting system makes setup and transport a breeze.
Safety is our main concern. The magnetic clutch system disengages the spinning arm if hit by an object. The clutch system prolongs the life of the motor by reducing friction when disengaging the motor assembly.
The motor assembly has the largest LED-Segment display in the industry. Clearly read and react to the user interface. Rated to last 30,000 hrs, the white-led display system is extremely efficient, reliable and bright!
Customize and Control the spinning armature with the included wireless key Fob. The remote can start, stop, auto-start using the Touchpic 360° Smart app, and has a built in feature to automatically stop the arm after 15min.
Our talented engineers have Customized the Ulanzi u200 LED ring light making it 2X brighter with increased CRI-Accurate 5600K neutral white lighting. The ring light easily mount a GoPro, iPhone, or dSLR camera system.
Impress your client and guests with this popular add-on. Designed to be easily mounted on the truss structure. Control the machine wirelessly with the included remote control.
The ORB's ingenious continuous power delivery system uses slip-ring electric transfer technology. this allows you to run the camera capturing system and led ring light while spinning without the need for any external power sources.
The ORB's patent-pending design has a unique spinning armature and counter balance weight system. The arm comes with a multi-axis adjustable ball mount capable of holding up to 30 lbs. to lock in your desired camera angle.
No need to bring an additional monitor stand! Included is our customized mount capable of holding 15"- 42" in panels. Once attached to the ORB, our mount will create a seamless and professional looking setup for optimal 360° viewing and QR sharing.
The ORB is completely self-powered! the included Portable Lithium Power station has a 50,400 mAh capacity with 150w peak power. The Power unit comes with built in LED lighting and has enough juice to run the ORB for up to six(6) continuous, 4hr events before needing to recharge!
