Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the new Mobibooth Cruise™ series

hand-held roaming photo booth. These devices make it easy to provide

photo booth services to large events such as festivals and large outdoor

parties with ease. They’ve been purposefully built with ease of use and

ergonomic comfort in mind.

The Mobibooth Cruise™ can operate in two unique modes that include a

decoupled manual mode, where the operator triggers the white light during

photo taking, and fully automatic mode where the app can change the

lights throughout the photo session automatically.

Continue through this manual to learn all about the functionality of your

hand-held roaming photo booth.

Getting Started

This section outlines the steps required to set up the Cruise™ roamer for

the first time use.

Installation of iPad charge cable

This is an optional step that is only necessary if you decide to charge the

iPad during operation.

1. Insert the 2.1mm power connector into the 5VDC input plug.

2. Insert the iPad charge cable (lightning connector/USB-C) into the

passthrough.

3. Pull the iPad charge cable through on the inside.

Installation of iPad

In this section we will discuss preparing the iPad for installation and

installing it with charging.

1. Locate the two metal plates (shown below) shipped with your

Cruise™ roamer.

2. Place the iPad backside up on a flat surface.

3. Peel the paper back off of one metal plate and attach in the center of

the iPad. The Apple logo is a great reference.

4. Peel the paper back off the second metal plate and attach it to the

previously placed metal plate making a stack of two.

5. Remove the Cruise™ roamer faceplate. It is recommended that you

firmly grip the faceplate through the iPad opening and the outside and

lift steadily straight up. The magnetic lock will provide tension until the

faceplate is 2 to 3 inches away from the body.

6. Plug the iPad charge cable into the iPad.

7. Place the iPad into the Cruise™ roamer. There are magnets that will

secure the iPad using the newly attached metal plates.

8. Place the face plate back on the Cruise™ roamer. It will snap into

place.

Powering the Unit

Recommended Battery Pack

RAVPower’s 32000mAh Power Bank USB Battery Pack is the

recommended battery pack for use with the Mobibooth Cruise™. With this

unit it is possible to run as long as 8 hours between charges.

LED Controls

Manual Mode Usage

The Mobibooth Cruise™ roamer is capable of being used without app

integration. When used in manual mode the roamer will display the

selected LED fx pattern at the set brightness. The user can override this

with a solid white for as long as they desire by pressing and holding the

handle’s button.

Selecting Attract Mode Pattern

The attract mode fx pattern, this is the pattern shown when the photo

button is not depressed, is selected by pressing the fx button located on the

rear of the unit to the left of the power port. There are a combined 13

unique color/pattern combinations available in manual mode. See the table

below for a listing of each.

Setting Pattern Brightness

To set the brightness of the LED fx pattern press and hold the fx button.

The roamer will begin increasing brightness until the maximum brightness

is reached. Then it will decrease brightness until it reaches minimum

brightness. This cycle will continue as long as the fx button is depressed.

To set the brightness release the button at the desired level.

Manual White Light

By pressing the photo button located on the handle to trigger the LEDs will

all turn white. They will remain in this state for the duration that the button is

depressed. This should be used during photo or video capture.

Automatic Mode Usage

When used with app integration or in automatic mode the Mobibooth

Cruise™ roamer will automatically change the LED fx pattern during the

photo booth session as configured within the app.

Depending on the app developer’s choice of app states the roamer can

offer as little as two modes throughout the session to dozens. The roamers

developer API allows app developers to provide 13 unique fx patterns with

32-bit color support (16,777,216 possible colors) along with other fx pattern

parameter settings. With these settings you can truly configure the LEDs to

match any event’s theme and colors.

Supported Fx Patterns
