What is a selfie pod, and how it works
A selfie pod is a freestanding, touchscreen-led photo booth with a footprint of roughly 0.5m². There is no enclosed cabinet, no complex setup and no queue of guests waiting for an attendant to load film. Guests approach the screen, tap to start, and the pod guides them through the rest — still photo, video selfie or GIF, depending on what you have activated.
Within seconds of taking their shot, guests receive their photo via QR code (scan and download instantly), by SMS to their mobile, or by email. The image lands on their phone before they have walked back to their seat. Every photo also goes into an online gallery, accessible for 30–90 days depending on your package tier, so no one misses a moment even if they did not scan on the night.
The pod can run fully self-service — guests navigate the touchscreen without any intervention. For Signature and Luxury packages, a dedicated attendant is included to keep the experience running smoothly and encourage guests who might not step forward on their own.
The “sleek and minimal” design is deliberate: the pod does not dominate the room. It sits in a corner, a reception area or beside a registration desk, and guests discover it naturally. For corporate brand activations and exhibitions, the pod can display full custom branding on the touchscreen surround and in the digital output — no printed props required.

Why choose a selfie pod for your event
Fits venues others cannot
Small art galleries, intimate restaurants, hotel lobbies, pop-up spaces — the selfie pod slides into gaps that a 360 platform or glam booth simply cannot occupy. If your venue is beautiful but compact, the pod is often the right answer without compromising the experience at all.
Guests share instantly — no waiting, no app
Text, QR scan or email — photos reach guests’ phones in seconds. There is no app to download, no account to create, no waiting for a memory stick the following week. Guests post directly to Instagram or WhatsApp before the next speaker takes the stage.
Works self-service or with a dedicated attendant
The touchscreen interface is genuinely intuitive — guests of all ages navigate it without instruction. This makes the pod well-suited to events where you want it to run quietly in the background. Add a dedicated attendant (included in Signature and Luxury) and participation rates increase considerably.
GIF and video selfie modes add energy
Beyond still photos, guests can create looping GIFs and short video selfies directly from the touchscreen. These formats perform better on social media than standard photos, which is why the selfie pod is especially popular for brand activations and corporate events with a social media strategy attached.
Most affordable entry point in the range
At £200 for three hours, the selfie pod Essential package is the most accessible option FunLoading360 offers. It delivers a genuinely premium digital experience at a price point that works for smaller budgets, school events and intimate celebrations where a full production-level 360 booth would be disproportionate.

Frequently asked questions
What is a selfie pod?+
A selfie pod is a compact, freestanding photo booth built around a high-resolution camera and an intuitive touchscreen interface. Guests interact directly with the screen to take photos, video selfies or GIFs, which are instantly shared to their phones via QR code, SMS or email. Unlike traditional enclosed booths, the pod has a minimal footprint — typically under 0.5m² — making it ideal for venues where space is at a premium.
How much does selfie pod hire cost?+
FunLoading360 selfie pod hire starts at £200 for three hours (Essential) and rises to £300 for five hours (Luxury). Every package includes free delivery, setup and collection across Essex, Kent and London. A 15% deposit secures your date — the balance is due 14 days before your event.
How much space does a selfie pod need?+
The selfie pod has a footprint of roughly 0.5m² and requires 2m of clear space in front for guests to stand comfortably. Total area needed is approximately 1m × 2m. It needs a single 13-amp power socket and a stable surface. This makes it the most venue-flexible option in the FunLoading360 range.
Can guests share photos instantly on the night?+
Yes — this is one of the selfie pod's strongest features. Photos, video selfies and GIFs are available to guests within seconds via a QR code displayed on the screen, by SMS to their phone number, or by email. No app download required. Guests can share directly to social media from their phones before the event is over.
Does the selfie pod produce physical prints?+
The standard selfie pod packages are digital-first: photos are shared electronically and stored in an online gallery (30–90 days depending on tier). Physical prints can be added as an optional extra — ask us when enquiring. If prints are important to your event, the Glam Vintage booth is a better fit, as unlimited instant prints are included in all its packages.
What events is the selfie pod best suited for?+
The selfie pod excels at corporate events (brand activations, product launches, office parties), exhibitions and trade shows, intimate parties where space is limited, modern weddings that prioritise digital sharing, and school proms. Its touchscreen-led experience and instant social sharing make it particularly effective for events with a digital or branded element.
What areas does FunLoading360 cover for selfie pod hire?+
FunLoading360 covers Essex (Chelmsford, Brentwood, Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester, Romford), Kent (Maidstone, Canterbury, Bromley) and London. Our base is in Chelmsford CM3 5NF. Travel beyond the standard area may incur a small supplement — contact us for a quote.
Can the selfie pod run self-service without an attendant?+
Yes — the pod's touchscreen interface is designed to be fully intuitive for self-service operation. Guests navigate the screen themselves without any instruction. An attendant is included in our Signature and Luxury packages and is available as an add-on for Essential. For corporate brand activations, self-service often works best as guests explore the pod naturally.
