I've been running photobooth add-ons for several years. DNP RX1 dye sublimation printer, windows netbook with Breezesys software and a tethered camera with flash. It requires an operator and frankly, it just ain't cool-looking no more. Since we have several of these scheduled for this year, I think it's time we upgrade. I'm planning to go to an ipad, which is mounted inside a ring LED light (always on). For printing, I just ordered DNP WPS Pro, to do wireless printing from the ipad.

For the light/ipad, I'm looking at this rig:

I'm waiting on ordering the light until I get the wireless hub unit in and test it out. To finish dressing it out, I'll weight the stand down (sandbag) and use a white scrim with led uplighting inside of it. IF everything works right (fingers crossed) then that does away with a technician slot. On the downside, it will limit the number of people in the frame (I can currently do 15). If I'm able to use my current ipad, then the upgrade is going to end up costing me about $700 and I think this will compete with what's currently on the market (the ring light units seem to be most popular these days). What are you guys doing for your photobooth rigs? Any suggestions on ipad software?
