- Photo booth shell/enclosure made from IKEA JOSEF cabinets ($35 ea. at the time the video was uploaded)
Materials List:
1) Josef Cabinets - m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/prod...
2) Diffuser sock (light cover) - a.co/fzN9eGB
3) Camera hole trim - a.co/6tT0HBE
4) Monitor trim - a.co/gO0GhDu
5) Camera mount - a.co/adrIU64
6) Mounting studs - a.co/0ei2tGP (for mounting flash and camera mount)
A piece of aluminum c-angle from Home Depot was mounted with epoxy to hold the bottom of the monitor, and a set screw through the shelf behind it keeps it in place.

What did u use to cut the square and circle in the cabinet?
@Sunny636 A hole saw for round hole. A jigsaw for the rectangular hole.
@Ely Miranda What size hole saw did you use? Did it cut fairly easy? Looking to do this now, so thanks for the video!
Shane Tretheway , I think it was 3”.
The finishing touches around the holes are astounding! I am very impressed with this! Good job!
This is the best DIY photo booth on CZcams. Great job dude!
These Units are now back in IKEA as of now. Just ordered mine. Thanks for this video.
Absolutely beautiful, great idea great job
Very nice! Looks good..
Great idea! I’m going to make with the 2 cabinets and use an iPad Pro and mount a metal security iPad holder, mount a light to it, and use that! Thank you for making this video!
Thats a good idea. I was going to do that with mine as it makes it really portable ad lightweight. I didnt like how small the ipad was though so wound up using a 22" touch screen.
NICE!!!!
Great Idee how did you fix the screen?
How can you find this cabinet, It is show in Ikea !
This looks great but I would get rid of the bottom cabinet and get a speaker tri-pod to hold it up. Also put the printer in the same cabinet making it super lightweight and compact. Otherwise this setup isn’t bad at all. It all comes down to personal preference. Good work.
People tend to trip over tripod legs, which aren't very stylish, either. You'd have to cover them up with custom-made cloth or something.
Then, there is statics to consider -- something heavy up high on something light might lead to people running into the setup and toppling it. With all the expensive tech inside that's probably a scenario we want to avoid. I've seen setups using tripods and I wasn't amazed; very wobbly.
What height is the touch screen, camera, and light
How did you mount the screen?
whats the measurements of the cabinets? they dont sell this at ikea anymore
5 years late on this and IKEA increased these cabinets a lot in price. However this is handsdown the most genius hack for a shell! What were the finishing touches around the camera hole? It looks like a piece of plastic that covers up the exposed cut wood.
It's a plastic grommet used on desks for the passthrough hole for cables.
THIS IS A GREAT DIY PROJECT!!!! can you list the link for the alien bee light.... I tried to look on Amazon but I couldn't find it! If you could make a step by step video of how you made the booth...from beginning to end that would be amazing!!!!! I'm sure you can even sale them!!!!
You can only get the Alien Bees from paulcbluff.com. As far as a step-by-step, I can’t make any promises. 😊
hi, what a great diy. i've buy the josef but how you cut out the monitor, lens & strobe. tq
Thanks. Please check out the answer to the same question in the pinned post above by Sunny636
How you connect your tablet/ipad to your camera?
Awesome! Thanks mate! Do you know where I can find a cabinet like this? Here in the USA, I don't see this cabinet on the IKEA website. Looking to make one for my wedding next month! Woot woot!
It looks like they are no longer stocking it. Will have to find another cabinet to modify.

Found this one which is similar www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S89249403/
Great Set up! i was wondering if you could show more of how you mounted the monitor to the cabinet. I am just trying to visualized what you put in the description about the c-angle and set screw through the shelf behind it that keeps the monitor in place. Thanks! Good work :)
I'm not able to show anything further any time soon. The aluminum c-angle is like in the following link. It's cut to the width of the tablet and the tablet just sits in the channel. In the video at the 1:04 time marker, you see that the shelf holding the camera sits around the top of the tablet. On the front edge of the shelf I drilled a hole that a screw threads through (in the video the camera mount blocks the view of the screw). That screw is tightened just enough for it to touch the back of the tablet and securely hold the tablet in place. Hope this helps.

how to connect camera to pc ??
What did you use to put around the edges of the holes to give them a nice look?
@jenna p links to the trim are in the description
How did you mount your camera mount? I see the camera is on a stand, but how did you fix that to the shelf below?
Drilled a hole through the shelf and used a bolt that fit the threaded hole of the mount. The mount fits a standard tripod. So it has a standard tripod mount threaded hole.
Do you have any recommendations for any substitutions for the cabinets you purchased? I've been trying to locate for 2 hours now and can't seem to locate... Do you also have the information about the cabinets you purchased such as model # etc?
Sorry. I have no other info. I think Ikea may have discontinued the JOSEF.
Do you have the final demensions like height, width, depth? @@elymiranda6944
@@djjiik7922 Looks like it's still available in the UK... dimensions are in this listing... www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/storage-furniture/outdoor-organising/josef-cabinet-in-outdoor-white-art-50213141/
I found these IKEA Hallan cabinets which are comparable, and I'm planning to do my own version of this DIY using these ones. www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S89249403/ There are a few different sizes and configurations available for the Hallan cabinets so you can check out those different sizes and see what works best for you. I opted for the two longer ones that will be stacked like shown in the link.
@@washingtonreign Thank you!
Just asking can you tell me all the list of your Materials.
I updated the video description to include the materials list.
What app or software did you use on the Surface
czcams.com/video/0DhmfipJ590/video.htmlm14s
This is awesome! Did you cut out the space for the surface and camera yourself or did you send it to be done?
Myself. It was probably the most nerve racking part of the whole build. But there is trim around both openings to hide most of the imperfection.
How did you do the trim? Thinking of doing this project myself. Any tips?
Nothing compicated. The trim around the tablet opening is automotive door trim (a.co/5vbWbTS ). The Trim around the camera lens opening is just a plastic grommet that's normally used on a desk to pass cables through (a.co/etnHvhc ).
The only tip, as it might not be easily apparent in the video.... turn the bottom unit (the base) upside down. That way there is a natural opening between the cabinets to pass cables.
looking for the cabinnet but no result
I don't think IKEA carries it anymore (at least not in the USA). Sorry.
Can you use any camera ?
This is totally custom, so you're free to use whatever you like. However, you'll need to make sure the camera is supported by whatever photobooth software you choose.
How did you mount the surface pro? I am curious to know since I am actually working with an 11" I Pad Pro.
Search for aluminum C-channel at your big box home store of choice ( www.homedepot.com/s/aluminum%2520c-channel?NCNI-5 ) . I think I used 1/2". I just cut it to the width of the tablet and epoxied it to the inside of the cabinet. The tablet sits in this channel. Then on the shelf behind it, I drilled a hole and inserted a set screw. This screw is tightened until it touches the back of the tablet with enough pressure to keep it in place.
Do you make n sell ? Just shell
No sir.
is the screen an iPad?
No. It's an early generation Microsoft Surface.
looks heavy
Not at all. The two halves are transported separately and they are just shells. My 21 y/o daughter is able to move them around easily.
