EASIEST MultiCam Stream Setup! OBSBOT Tail Air

[@SuperDerek]

I got a Tail Air about a month ago, and it's been really fun to surprise people with on my streams and in production.

[@EposVox]

HELL YEAH

[@levelupwithmikenewman]

I love my tail Air…love the OBSBOT lineup period. I think their companion app that goes with it is the best one of the bunch

[@EposVox]

I was pretty impressed by the depth of the app

[@TeaOS]

the quality on these compared to your full sized camera is kind of insane. Not only do they have outstanding features but god damn, webcams are *insane* these days

[@EposVox]

Right?!

[@Theexplorographer]

I love my OBSBOT 4k! Their cams are sick!

[@EposVox]

Yeah!!

[@DeployJeremy]

Your space is looking tidy. Nice review!

[@jonathantaylor2584]

I read multicam while scrolling and thought about the camouflage for a moment. Neat tech video on camera setups

[@bkhsuigaik]

I have used obsbot tiny 2! Really impressed with its features! I want to try tail air!

[@MichaelTheBruce]

Love the video! The PTZ flood of the webcam market is super cool. Do they have a feature like the insta360 where there are locked positions that only pan-tilt after you leave the 'hero shot'? LOVE that its NDI!

[@Knisspel]

i was really confused by the auto translated title. What is a Heckluftpolster???? Why is the Streamer man trying to sell me a trailer suspension?

[@ChristianWheel]

This is pretty cool. Can it record to an SD card or do you have to have some kind of external capture device? Right now I'm using a 360 cam for this purpose but have to do the reframing in post.

[@EposVox]

They can record to microSD too!

[@Sketchrcat]

Question: Will the mini Obsbot camera; work with the tail-air Obsbot; hooked into it; for multi-camera scenario s using both cameras to stream and or record UTUBE videos?

[@EposVox]

You cannot plug one camera into the other, no You can plug both into a computer

[@TheNerd]

Sometimes I do not understand what Google is doing or thinking. The Germanish / English auto translated? KZbin Video Title is "OBSBOT Heckluftpolster" which does not make ANY sense neither in English nor in German, because it would translate to something different. I even told my Google Account which languages I do speak, so they do not need to translate.... "Heckluftpolster" would be something like "Back Air Pad" or "Back Air Cushion"

[@MadJix]

How resource heavy are they?

[@MadJix]

Wait, you can just stream with them from your phone?!

[@EposVox]

YUP

[@ChizFri]

These cameras are sick, but they are definitely for established streamers aren't they? We little guys on a shoestring must sit and aspire I suppose.

[@HunterG5]

Hell ya

[@EposVox]

YEAH

[@agentshenron]

It seems awesome but wow it’s $1000? At that point I may just go with a mirrorless camera because I can hook it up when streaming and then also take it with me on the go for photography or videos when traveling.

[@EposVox]

In the US they’re more like $400 But also a mirrorless camera won’t do PTZ so very different priorities lol And you’d need more money for glass, dummy battery, capture cards

[@SuperDerek]

I can talk about why I bought one for myself a few weeks back. (For far less than $1000, at that.) 1. I already have mirrorless cameras, but I _don't_ have a camera operator when I'm on-camera. 2. I have an OBS-centered recording and streaming workflow, so being able to add another camera to my setup over NDI, without adding even more capture cards or taking up USB 3 bandwidth was a HUGE bonus 3. The ability to record straight to micro SD will make this super useful for in-the-field recording, especially paired with a Rode Wireless ME lav setup that feeds into the mic port. 4. This also has object tracking built-in, which I plan to pair with a motorized slider for some sweet product shots 5. It's wireless and has a battery, meaning I can move it literally anywhere during a stream or production, and still record or stream straight into OBS, making it incredibly flexible. 6. The income I make through my KZbin/Twitch streaming business can afford this, and I'm happy to reinvest that money into my business. I mean, it's clearly not for everyone, and it's not going to be anyone's top priority. But once most of your basics are covered, it's a compelling choice.

[@agentshenron]

@@EposVox Ah you're right I was looking at the Tail Air 2, insane that it's $1000. For sure though the Tail Air 1st gen is a great buy for around $400 for those who are looking for the PTZ functionality.

[@ottawafro]

$700 -> mention that at the start of the stream . Not everyone will have the manufacturer sent them a few. Content creators are so out of touch ...

[@EposVox]

In the US it's around $400 which is the price of normal, static USB 4K webcams, and far cheaper than mirrorless cameras etc. Are content creators - who use this stuff, analyze prices, and compare market values on the daily - out of touch? Or are commenters who see a complex stream setup with multiple cameras and somehow expect the product to be less than the cost of a video game the ones who are out of touch? lmfao
