New OBSBOT Tiny 2 LITE PTZ 4K webcam + comparison with Insta360 Link and others

Good PTZ webcams are usually $250 or more. At $180, this is the lowest priced new 4K gimbal camera with motorized AI pan tilt zoom auto-tracking.

In this video, I'll compare it to other cameras I've purchased, including the Insta360 Link 4K, OBSBOT Tiny 2 (original) and OBSBOT Tiny PTZ 4K. With a 1/2" sensor (the same size as the Insta360 Link 4K), let's see how it stacks up against the competition.
We'll also tour the software to control the camera, the new OBSBOT Center, and show the camera in default settings, tuned settings, and the controls you can use in the app and with your hands, including bokeh or background blur, other beauty effects, preset positions, hand gesture zoom and enable/disable tracking and more. The Tiny 2 Lite also supports Elgato's Stream Deck and global hotkeys for streaming.

Interesting review Jeremy. (Hadn't seen much from you lately, so hope all is well.) The literally lite price feels very competitive, as it's cheaper than the 4K versions of Facecam and Kyro. And the user gains a gimbal! As a main proponent of the *Old Sony Alpha plus 'artisan lens* solution, how do you think the 1080 image quality compares? It's crazy that a tiny device can now casually do 4k and gimbal, whereas the old alphas were bleeding edge 1080. So it's 4K/gimbal/small sensor vs 1080/any lens/larger sensor...? Obviously those who really need gimbal and hands free pick the modern device, but for stationary haed shot how does the quality compare?

@@45KevinR You can't really compete with an APS-C or full frame camera on image quality alone. It really depends. As a plug and play webcam with quality that 98% of people will think is top notch, this can fit that bill. If you're looking for photographer or studio quality, then you need a large sensor and decent quality optics stack. But those are clunkier to set up, more fidgety and there's no gimbal or autotracking. The proper camera is like a truck and the webcam is like a compact hatchback.

I love the fact that they wanted to give people a cheaper option that can compete with the T2 and I360L Great video about a great option

[@DeployJeremy]

I preferred the color balance of the Lite over the T2. It's a nice 'sort of budget' option. Basically, it's like the price of a good still 4k webcam, but adds a gimbal (the mic isn't great though).

Awesome video, thank you for all your efforts. In my country i found insta360 link and obsbot tiny 2 lite cost almost the same price, which one do u think i should go with please ? I would appreciate ur opinion

[@DeployJeremy]

Both are great. If prices are identical, then the Insta360 has a few more features and a slightly sharper image from my tests. It does need a lot more time spent image tuning in my setup and I prefer the tracking speed on the OBSBOTs, but I think the Insta360 is capable of a slightly better picture and since I don't use the tracking often and have consistent lighting, I'd optimize for the image quality.

It is the Tiny 4K that has the 1/2.8 sensor. The Tiny 2 has a 1/1.5 sensor.

Hey man: Do you think this cámara is better than the iPhone 13 Pro using epocam? Im worried about delay in the iPhone but i think is better than any webcam

[@cabisports]

is there any webcam thats better than the iPhones? It doesnt matter the cost

[@DeployJeremy]

iPhone Pro's especially have incredible cameras. The biggest downside is the convenience of setting them up, mounting them, etc. Your iPhone will create an equal or better quality image imo, but I lose patience myself getting the phone running compared to webcam or mirrorless camera with capture card and dummy battery.

[@cabisports]

@@DeployJeremy Im considering using it like my main webcam. I would buy anotathrr phone. You think tahts a good idea? Imor do you think theres a better webcam out there?

[@DeployJeremy]

Yes. I'd start with that, pay the $8 for Epoccam if you haven't yet (because it sounds like you're using it now). Get a separate microphone and see how it goes. If you get serious and do want a noticeable jump in quality, then I'd save up for a Sony ZV-E10 or similar APS-C camera with your preferred lens. I like my Viltrox 24mm F1.4.

@DeployJeremy @cabisports I can help with this. On my iPhone 13 Max, Epocam was pretty good. On my 15 Pro max, its tricky. I don't think they have updated the app for the USB port. I can get it to work but sometimes it acts up. The picture is good but you are locked at 1080p 60fps. It works pretty well though, especially in OBS. I dont want to self promote but my last video was shot 100% with it in OBS. I didn't use LUTs or color correction. Im looking at the Obspot because I lean alot due to health and wind up out of frame. I like the idea of 4K but wish it was 60fps. I think only the elgato facecam pro does that and Im not paying $300 for a webcam. Hope that helps.

[@philq01]

I'm not happy with mine that I got today appears to be recording but all I get is black screen with audio. I tried updating the software and it always fails at 28% even why I try to do a manual install. To say the least I'm not happy.

[@DeployJeremy]

I'm sorry, you may have received a defective unit. My very first OBSBOT Tiny PTZ 4K was defective, but their aftersales support was really good. I've bought 4 OBSBOT cameras since then and all have been good.

[@osvaldoverduzco3900]

1/2 is larger than 1/2.8.

[@DeployJeremy]

@@osvaldoverduzco3900 That was my mistake. I had it in my notes, but didn't state the OBSBOT Tiny 2 (not Lite) sensor size verbally, it's 1/1.5". The Insta360 Link is also 1/2".
