We install photo studios at both large auto groups and independent dealerships where they shoot spins, interior 360s, and detail photos. Our media is then displayed on the dealer website, as well as third party advertisers like AutoTrader, cars.com, etc. EZ360 features amazing 4K photos that show closeup features and flaws as if you’re standing next to the vehicle. EZ360 delivers an integrated wall-to-wall system with custom photo studio, heavy-duty turntable, automatic picture taking with instant upload to your web site, and full-screen custom VDPs.
