So small yet so powerful! Ideal ptz camera to have in your box of tricks on a live stream
I must admit I was unsure at first. I hadn't come across Obsbot products in the past and all the sales information on the Tail Air almost seemed to be too good to be true. A full 4k30fps ptz camera that fits in the palm of your hand, has a built in battery, able to record, has NDI and AI tracking.... surely not.But in fact I was wrong! It is true and wow does it do it well.I bought the camera as a trial for work as we do streaming of live events from concerts to sports to corporate events and award ceremonies with the plan to put it in along side our usual cameras and give it a test not believing it could be as good as our more expensive PTZ cameras but surprisingly it not only matches them but beats them on a number of key areas.Yes it doesn't have SDI output and only has micro HDMI out and USB C on the body of the camera so you find yourself having to use adapters but that's a small price to pay for what had to be one of the smallest and most powerful PTZ cameras on the market. Coupled with its small size you have it's inbuilt battery, NDI Hx3 and the ability to connect and control over WiFi which gives you a really powerful camera that is so handy to have in your box of tricks on a job.We've so far used it on conferences' on the panel table giving us perfect shots of guests speaking during q&a, on stage as an audience camera where you could hardly see it in the corner of the stage, as a main lectern camera on an awards night and during sports presentations on pitch connected to an additional battery to give us over 6 hours of battery life to show presenters and guests live on the big screens in the ground where the battery and wireless NDI hx3 comes into its own as everything is fast paced and needs to be cleared from the pitch very quickly and a number of other events where we have struggled to wire or power any other camera or the director hasn't wanted a big and ugly camera in shot.Overall I'm very, very impressed with its size, quality and overall usefulness out on jobs.If you are buying this camera on its own rather than as a bundle there are a few additional items you will have to pay for, which is something you need to bear in mind when looking at the purchase cost. Firstly you will have to pay extra for the NDI HX3 licence - the camera works perfectly fine without NDI but its worth purchasing especially if you use vmix or OBS. Secondly I would strongly advise getting the USB c to network adapter so you can use a wired connection as well as wireless for those jobs you csnt trust the wifi and thirdly for the complete set go for the Obsbot Remote as that makes it so quick and easy to get the camera up and running and in position on a job. You can control it via your phone and computer software like vmix etc... BUT sometimes it's just easier to grab the remote and put the camera where it needs to be - just quick and simple and with the added bonus that 1 remote will control up to 3 cameras!Previously we have had the logitech mevo start 3 pack and a couple of go pro in our box of tricks for those times where you need those additional camera shots or small footprint but I think we are now looking to replace the mevo'a with Tail Airs as the mevo are only 1080p and a fixed shot where as the Tail Air are full ptz with tracking ability if needed - which is so much more useful in the box of tricks.Overall I'm so impressed by this little camera and cant recommend it enough - it really has opened up so many more creative ideas and workflows and we are looking at buying more as a company.

Great quality 4k30fps footage
The media could not be loaded. I love the small format of this camera, at 360g this thing is tiny yet plenty of function not usually found in web cam. The gimbal stabilize the camera when powered up, I can adjust camera angle by just moving the camera with my hand and it will stay put. There is a 1/4" tripod mount and having this mounted on a tripod it is agile and takes no time to set up the shot I want.The 4k30fps footage is clear and very smooth, even when zoomed in there is still a lot of quality in the video. The follow me/tracking works really well and for 1 man band this will add a lot of dynamic to the videos footages. There are gesture control for start recording, zoom in and out etc, just be hand gesture which is very cool indeed.There is built in battery with this camera which allows me to work remotely, I can use it on the go and in remote places as long as I have my phone on cell data. The phone app is easy to use and connection to my wifi network is a breeze, however, I only managed to connect this to my 2.4Ghz WiFi but it refuse to connect to my 5Ghz band which I am not sure if it is the camera or my router problem.There is a micro SD card slot where I can record video on to and also streaming function when connected to the internet. The camera gimbal can be controlled by the phone app and there are so much camera function to make professional videos. My favourate is the ISO range settings which is not usually found in budget camera or web camera.

Amazing Streaming/Vlogging Camera
Very good quality streaming camera from Obsbot made from very good materials.I have been using this streaming camera for three months and I have had no issues, I have been using it on an iPhone 14 Pro Max and iMac.On the iMac initially I thought the setup would be a pain but I am pleased to say it was very quick and easy just a case of going to Obsbot website download the software (Obsbot Center) and installing it, then you just need to turn on the camera, load the software and it should detect the camera and follow the prompts, it took me about five minutes to have it fully running. If you want to use the camera with OBS or Streamlabs Desktop in the Obsbot Center software you will need to create a virtual camera this is just a case of clicking on one button then in OBS or Streamlabs Desktop add the camera as a source its very simple.On the iPhone it’s just a case of installing the mobile app and just like on the iMac connect to the camera and follow the prompts. My only real grumble is you can not use the mobile app unless you register for an account and login which I do not like it also wants to use location services which I do not see why it needs this BUT you can turn it off or change it to only use while in application.There is only one button on the camera the on/off button so you have to control the camera with either your mobile device or computer, Obsbot does sell a remote control that can get on amazon at time of writing this it cost £79.Camera/image quality is very good at 4K so far I have experienced no delays in the image/quality which is exactly what you want.You can use hand gestures to zoom in/out, turn on/off tracking, recording & dynamic zoom these work great in a well lit room BUT I have noticed a few times in low light the camera struggles to see/recognise the hand gestures and I have had to try a few times for it to activate.Comes in a good quality case that has padding so will help to protect the camera.Overall I am happy with the steaming camera and I would definitely recommend it.

Unreliable at best
Having invested in 3 tail airs, with a view to invest in a few hundred. testing has shown these units to be very unreliable, Often issues will present with the cameras firmware and software seming to be the cause of these. even with updates turned off. some days the device no longer works desipte no change in setup.

This camera will change how you create content too
We create three types of content. Lives (streaming/Twitch), shorts (TikTok), and long form content (YouTube). This camera has changed how we produce all of our content, for the better.1. The camera is actually good. The lens is a 23mm f/1.8. If you know about camera lenses, then you know how much that alone could cost. We've tried a few different cameras over the years and this one is seriously good for the price.2. Our workflow while we record in the shop is so much more efficient because of the AI tracking features. The time we spent moving one camera from place to place in the shop is now just placing the camera in an angle that can see most of our workspace and then we use hand gestures to track and zoom.3. Connectivity is easy since there are multiple ways to connect the tail air. You can plug in the camera via the USB-C cable and start filming or you can connect via (NDI license which can be purchased separately) or even a USB to ethernet adapter.4. OBSBOT has a remote control for the system too, so you could control all features of the tail air from a distance that way, if your content limits that ability to use hand gestures.Those are just the quick good points.We use the camera as our main streaming camera. The tail air can integrate with our stream deck allowing us to have quick buttons for different angles of the room, different preset zoom points, and quick AI tracking. Since the tail air has all of these features, we have eliminated all the other cameras from our streaming setup.In the OBSBOT App you can control all camera settings, like your ISO, shutter speed, auto focus, white balance, and frame rates. You can even go as far as to apply your temperatures, brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness to the video being recorded.While the $499 price tag may seem high initially, I can assure you that you will not get this quality of camera, with all these features, for anywhere close to this amount anywhere else.

Quasi perfetto: il lettore micro SD è fragile
Videocamera praticamente perfetta, controllo remoto invidiabile con punti di ancoraggio estremamente pratici. Unico difetto da me riscontrato è la fragilità del lettore scheda micro SD, da subito non perfettamente funzionante e a un certo punto, ha neanche un mese, si è rotto per cui ho dovuto restituire la videocamera. La ricompro perché comunque è eccezionale, speriamo bene per questo difetto che sia un caso.
