Amazon Firetab Semipro Version:

Hey! We already did this one? Not like this!

It’s actually just a change in software, but that means that we can change our hardware. This is the introduction to a medium level build, because now we’re using pro level cameras, and we’re going to start using something that could MAAAAYYYBE be used professionally. We say that because your mileage may vary, and we don’t necessarily recommend charging money when things can go wrong. Also, we’re not using a printer with this build, so you’ll be posting online. You CAN use a printer with this piece of software, but it may need to be network enabled/require more to your setup.
So here’s the deal, let’s switch up the software to SLR Booth.

SLR Booth allows you to use a full SLR camera-medium to pro level cameras for the booth. This will infinitely increase your quality a million fold. Partially because the front facing cameras suck on tablets and phones, and also because SLR cameras a built for taking decent photos, DUH.

SLR booth has tons of options, and you can use it to take photos, print, post photos online, and otherwise make some really cool things with photo booths. SO: let’s get an SLR.

We recommend Canon, pretty much for no other reason that we started on that. So I’m used to Canon, but if you like or have a Nikon, then go ahead. The SLRS that work with SLR Booth are also limited, they need to have a certain control protocol to work, so you can’t just use any SLR, but just pay attention to the details and what the software describes.

One thing you will need to begin is a android to usb cable, which will allow you to connect the camera to the tablet. The tablet is surprisingly powerful, which is why we used it twice, just to demonstrate the capabilities of the tablet, and to show that it can be used for multiple things. Also, with a build that includes multiple pieces of hardware, we’re now beginning to need more variety in cases. Since we’re starting barebone, we’re going to detail a barebone case, but you can use this build within a more durable case and setup. We do recommend that, but again, this is the tip of this iceberg. You can download the 3d printed file for the simple holder here: Or buy it here:

Ok, so once we’ve got the camera, the holder/case combo that you like, then we can begin. Plug everything into each other, then start the software. If you’re lucky, it’ll recognize the camera right away, and you’ll be able to begin. It boots into the photo screen and you can tap the icon and start the photo process. We have a few setting changes we recommend when starting:
If you’re posting photos online, then you’ll need to connect the table to the services. This WILL require an internet connection, so if there’s no connection, then you’ll need to get one or save the photos to the local tablet. Which also means you’ll need some space for this. So you may want to grab an extra micro sd card with some reasonable size.
