My photographer is not following the presentation you taught us. Is there any way he can have something to help him remember what photo is next in the presentation?

You clicked on this question because you have an existing booth. You lost a photographer, or you just don’t think he’s doing the job.

Contact us. We will retrain them. It’s that simple. We provide support for the lifetime of the product. Our warranty is five years, but in six, seven, eight years you need a new camera. Hit us up. You need some more training. Hit us up.

Right now, we travel so much, we’re pretty much going to be in your area within the next two weeks, and we’ll train them. If you need us to come out sooner, I’m sure we can work something out. Just communicate with us, and we’ll figure it out.

This is 360Booth®, and I thank you for your purchase, and we offer lifetime support.

 

Is your floor checkered?

No, our floor is not checkered. It’s not our floor. Our studio doesn’t come with a floor.

We do recommend this floor, and it does give the appearance of checkered, but it’s not our floor. We buy it for you and install it for you and strongly recommend, for the maintenance value of everything falling through. Also, look at the pearlescence and see how nice the gray is. It’s very important that your flooring does not reflect a different color back into the room.

So, to answer your question, our floor is not checkered; it’s just the shadow effect the flooring has.

 

What happens if direct Sun hits the studio?

What happens if the sun enters the studio from an open window, skylight, or garage door?

Hopefully, it doesn’t last long. It’s not going to hurt the studio at all. Worst-case scenario is if the sun is bright enough, which, it’d be hard to be brighter than our lights in the studio, but if it is, and lower, it will penetrate the plastic, and it will cast a shadow of the steel structure in the background. We’ve never had that complaint, but visually, if the sun hits the studio directly from an open window, a door, or a skylight, it will give spots on your car, but it will also penetrate the plastic and show the outline of the steel frame.

 

Why do I need to turn off or remove other lights in 360Booth®?

Do your lights in your existing space, or around the space, or in your building need to be turned off during shooting?

There are a couple of ways to handle that. First of all, I evaluate your space. I will make recommendations on what lights have to be turned off or removed. Usually, I focus strictly on above the cloth top. In some cases, you’ll only see that in other people’s booths or studios because they don’t have a cloth top to shield the lights reflecting on the top of the car.

So, to answer your questions, you don’t have to shut them all off. I don’t want you to do that. It’s a hazard, for one, but the ones directly above the cylinder of the studio, yes. We would like those turned off. They’re not the right color temperature, and they will cause issues inside the studio.

 

Can I unpack my studio from truck piece by piece if I don't have fork lift?

I wouldn’t advise unpacking your studio from the truck because you don’t have a forklift. The main reason is the plastic. It’s very dense. It’s very durable, but, because of length and the width of it, it’s hard to manhandle, and you’re going to scratch it. I would seriously advise getting a forklift. If you don’t have one, borrow one. If you can’t borrow one, rent one. The ease of getting it off the back of the semi-truck with a forklift is day and night compared to taking all the steel off the pallet and then twenty-something panels of plastic, including supplies.

So, to answer your question, I wouldn’t advise unpacking your pallet piece by piece at all! If you damage a plastic panel, it’s going on your booth, damaged.

 

I've measured my space and I do not have the height for your studio of 10 ft. How can you help?

Probably the coolest thing over the past six years is that I have reached only the one-percenters of the car industry who really are wanting to take their business to the next level with better photos. It’s so much fun.

The question is, “I’ve looked at your specs, Jay, and I don’t have the 11 feet of minimum clearance. Your studio is at 10 feet. I only have 10 feet of clearance. Can you help? What can you do?”

Great news. Right now, we do not charge to customize your studio at all. We have made them smaller; we’ve made them bigger, and we’ve definitely made them shorter at no cost to you.

So, thank you for doing the due diligence of measuring your space. I love it when you guys send me the photos with the dimensions of length, width, and height of it. I want to get a better idea of what I’m looking into when I visit.

But, to answer your question, if you don’t have the height, when I visit, I properly measure for placement, and we will chop your studio down. It will not affect the photos, and I will not charge you for that.
