Rotobooth is powered by a hacked rotary phone that takes a series of pictures after the user dials his or her cell phone number. The user is texted a link to the images, which he or she can choose to download or share via social media.

Photoboothless recently launched Instaboothless, a photo system that prints out physical copies of photos taken on Instagram at an event. Guests take photos on their smartphones, then tag them with a specific hashtag which automatically uploads them to the Instaboothless printer. Designated event photographers also roam the crowd taking pictures of guests with the Instagram app and sending them to the printer. The prints include space for custom graphics and messages. Pricing starts from $650, and the system is available nationwide.
