Equipment ideas

Gear ideas for shooting events with Best Memories.

You don't need a studio kit. A phone with a good rig works for most events, and an iPad on a stand turns into a full AI photo booth. Here are a few specific options worth starting from.

Phone rigs

For volunteer participants and friends-of-the-couple shooting the night on their phone.

Phone video rig with LED lights

Two-handle smartphone cage with built-in LED panels (look for CRI 90+, 2500K–9000K range, on-board battery). Steady footage and good faces even in dim venues — ideal for volunteer photographers shooting handheld with the iPhone app.

Booth setups

For organizers running their own booth and photographers who don't want to rent one — drop our iOS app on the iPad and you're live.

Portable iPad photo booth machine

Full booth stand kit that fits an iPad Pro (12.9, 11, 10.9, 10.2) with built-in lights, silkscreen backdrop, and a carrying pouch. Drop our app on the iPad and you're a booth — the same one organizers rent.

Backdrops

A clean, portable background turns any venue into a studio — pairs with the iPad booth and packs into a bag.

Adjustable backdrop stand (10×8 ft)

Two telescoping tripods and a crossbar that adjust to fit almost any wall or open floor, with a carrying case so it travels in a bag. Hang a clean backdrop behind the booth and any venue — a bare ballroom wall, a backyard, a hotel lobby — looks like a studio. A few clamps and you're set up in minutes.
