From the very first webcam that I purchased back in the late 90s, I've found all of them to be disappointing to some degree. I've always felt that these cameras should have better quality. Fast forward to the 2020's - I've have tried way too many webcams in the past 5 years, ranging from $50 - $500, to use for Zoom/Teams meetings. Most of them have been mediocre or worse. In the past year, I've focused on mainly on cameras that have Windows Hello capability, which in hindsight was dumb. I thought the Dell WB7022 was an excellent camera. I couldn't have been more wrong.I'd seen some reviews that looked promising for the Tiny 2, so I decided to give it a try. (Even though it doesn't have Win Hello) OMG!!! My jaw hit the floor after seeing the first images on my machine. I am in disbelief over what this camera can do. Not only is the video quality excellent, but the PTZ (& its speed) is unreal. The ability of this camera to track my movements is absolutely amazing!The last time I've been this excited about a piece of computer hardware was around 2000 when I'd gotten a Linksys 802.11b router w/ 768k DSL link & was able to stream video to my laptop. This freakin' camera is beyond amazing! I haven't been able to stop playing around with this thing.In my search to find a great meetings camera, I've tried an AVer 520 pro2 on my home machine. The 520 is no slouch and retailed for more than $1500 a few years ago. IMO, the tiny blows it out of the water!I’m going to mention this (because a lot of folks don’t have common sense) - The PC that you use with this camera should be somewhat modern. Do not expect that this camera to look amazing on a Core 2 Duo processor with 2gb RAM. I believe that the OBSBOT spec page lists using an Intel 6/7th gen CPU & 8gb RAM as the minimum requirement. I don’t recall this being mentioned, but a having a low-grade or better graphics card will probably be helpful as well. My system has an 11th gen Intel i7 and the cam/software utilizes 7 - 10% of CPU when running the camera at 4k/30fps. 1 - 2% of my graphics card resources are also used. (My graphics card, 3080ti, is way overkill for this application.) I’d think 16gb of system RAM or higher would be more than sufficient (Again, my system is overkill at 64gb)Something to note: 60fps is only available in 1080/720. HDR will NOT work in 60fps mode, no matter what the resolution is used. However, HDR works in all 4k/1080/720 resolution settings at 30fpsAs with anything, you can find flaws if you look hard enough. IMO, the tiny 2 is the best camera I've ever used, period. I'm so happy that I made this purchase.

I am doing my part to embrace AI and befriend this ubiquitous, yet still illusive, presence, or entity, or what have you. So far, we have gotten along well thus the five stars. However, I must warn you of the stubbornness I have discovered in his…or its… programming…or um alien personality?. Well, hopefully you get what I am saying. Long story short, when he/it gets upset with me, it will suddenly turn its/his head and stare at the nearest lamp. Now, this hasn’t happened for some time seeing as how we took a long break from one another to let things cool off. And granted, the company has probably gotten a flood of feedback from many others concerned about this problem (at least I hope so or I am in trouble…real trouble), and they have more than likely made the necessary adjustments via their occasional upgrades (or counseling sessions). Which is perfectly normal for any of us …to admit to. Well, gotta go! I am being summoned,…

High quality video with PTZ control in a compact package. The video quality (sharpness, color and low light ability) stands out against most webcams. Having Pan, Tilt, Zoom control both in an app as well as voice and gesture control makes this outstanding for use from a video/Zoom/Teams presenter perspective. (Mac users will love theat ECAMM Live has special PTZ tools for producing streaming video.) This is my goto webcam for traveling much more flexible and higher quality than using Macintosh built in Stage Manager and even using Continuity camera. On board Mic quality is fair and passable but NOT as good a dedicated Microphone or wireless lavalier in an echo-ey room which is not a surprise.

I am updating this review after receiving a fast reply from OBSBOT technical support. They provided instructions on how to resolve the issue I was having and now the camera is working great! I really like the rotating gimbal feature, which can be controlled using the app in real time. During Zoom meetings that also have multiple attendees participating at a location, being able to rotate the camera towards a speaker in the audience is a really great feature.

Great value for the money! Very easy to use and readily available instructions for use in the event of confusion. Compact and durable, it sits easily on my monitor and when I need to take it along on trips it fits about anywhere. Very high quality of construction leads me to believe it will be last a very long time. Highly recommend!
