Snap360 does not work with Nikon cameras on the iPad today: the photo booth camera connection is built for Canon EOS DSLR and mirrorless cameras. A Nikon connection is in development for the Windows version, which is coming soon. If you shoot Nikon, write to us before you sign up and we will tell you what you can do with your gear.
We say it plainly because plenty of wedding and event photographers shoot Nikon, and it is better to know before your first event than on a Saturday night. What you can do with Snap360 today, whatever camera you own, is 360 video on a spinner platform, recorded with a phone or a tablet.
Quick Summary
- On the iPad: Nikon cameras are not supported today.
- On Windows: a Nikon connection is in development, with no set date.
- For DSLR photos today: a Canon EOS by cable on the iPad.
- For 360 video: it does not depend on the camera, it works with a phone, a tablet or a GoPro.
- Before you sign up: write to us with your Nikon model.
Nikon: A Short History and Cameras for Events
Nikon was founded in Tokyo in 1917 as Nippon Kogaku and became Nikon Corporation in 1988. Its Nikon F SLR, from 1959, shaped professional photography for decades, and in 2018 it introduced the Z mount with the Z 7, its first full-frame mirrorless camera.
At weddings and events you mostly see two families:
- Z mirrorless: Nikon's current lineup, with full-frame (FX) and DX-format bodies.
- D series DSLRs: the F-mount bodies many photographers still use at events.
How to Combine Your Nikon and Snap360 in an Event Business
Until the Nikon connection arrives, this is how you can organize the work if your gear is Nikon:
- 360 video from today. The platform records with a phone or a tablet and Snap360 edits the video with the event music and overlay; your Nikon is not involved.
- Photo booth with a Canon. If you want DSLR photos in an iPad booth, today you need a Canon EOS connected by cable.
- Your Nikon, for the coverage. The camera stays your photographer's tool and the photo booth runs on its own.
- Join the Windows version list. That is where the Nikon connection is being developed.
