OBSBOT Tail Air AI 4K PTZ Streaming Camera multicam setup using the ATEM Extreme

[@CephasNso-ErigoKassetti-ov6vz]

Your videos are lovely to watch. Very comprehensive and easy to understand with the diction

[@douglasspores4651]

Thanks for the video! This will help me get build my first setup.

[@XievyTrux-bm9jx]

Your drone shots added a unique perspective to the video. Well done! The use of fiber HDMI cords for long-distance connections is a smart choice

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Thanks, I thought so!

[@lsmith77]

So hoping at they will release a 10x or at least 5x optical zoom version. This would be such an amazing budget setup for sports as their remote is the most affordable PTZ remote that offers a proper joystick and a zoom rocker.

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

I think it would be cool if in camera you could do a 2x zoom just by selecting a "punch in" 1080 feed out of the hdmi. It then wouldn't be a digital zoom it would just be a crop of the 4k sensor

[@predigr]

Yeah. Optical zoom and we will have the perfect camera for churches

[@kevinok4335]

Thank you for this incredible video. I have so much more to research now!

[@WGMojo]

Great video

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Thanks!

[@KenCraige-hd5ub]

Tail Air and ATEM Mini Extreme is impressive haha I love the clarity of the video

[@HuskyBedo]

Thank you for this video! I'm using an ATEM EXTREME ISO in combination to 2 Sony Alpha cameras but I'm looking for something PTZ and this video explains exactly what I need.

[@nathanwiens4206]

I'm considering purchasing the Tail Air for closed-circuit youth sports streaming. I'd love to hear your experience with tracking a soccer game, given the number of players, how it tracked the group or the ball, or if you just had presets and manually switched. Ideally I'd like to track action, but I'm seeing zero information online about that...just person, face, and object. Thanks for the review!

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

I was testing at kids soccer with AI tracking did alright but would sometimes follow the adult coaches. So I ended up just using the Presets and that worked perfectly

[@ZyxxyDigitalMedia]

Nice! Thanks for this. Can you post info on the HDMI/mini-HDMI mount on your cheeseplate?

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Good call! I've added affiliate links in the description.

[@ZyxxyDigitalMedia]

Perfect! Smallrig FTW!

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

@@ZyxxyDigitalMedia yes! I've had good luck with them

[@chrisrichardson8908]

Is their a reason why you didn't use the osbot talent or the yolobox pro ultra .can't you do the same thing

[@piratetv1]

For these id probably convert to SDI for the backhaul. My setup has 3x PTZ cameras with rs485 serial, and SDI. I was thinking about these but without optical zoom, i don't think they'd be for me

[@DXCommanderHQ]

Hi.. SO the double-ended jack between the Rode and the camera.. Does that come "in the box" or did you buy it..? If so, what the hell do I search for? I need one! Thanks. Callum.

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Came with the rode

[@onthewaycyam]

Thanks for sharing this info. I'd be interested if they had other lenses. I'd rather have a lens that crops the shot. I don't want to force cropped shots in editing.

[@CephasNso-ErigoKassetti-ov6vz]

What's the name of the HDMI input device ( White In Color) among your accessories?

[@ryannealon7473]

Excellent video - Is it waterproof? Looking at buying one for post match analysis while on a budget but I’m in Ireland where more often than not it’s raining😅 just wondering if it would work?

[@idjmic]

No IP67 rating will get damaged in bad weather.

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Quite a learning , Thank you so much Sir 🙏🕊

[@idjmic]

I’d like to see the same setup using NDI instead. Creating your own hotspot router.

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

I want to try that but I only have 1 NDI receiver

[@ReachFilms]

Hey! How are you dealing with latency? You mentioned fiber HDMI is that much different from normal HDMI? As after 50ft the longer you go with hdmi the more latency is introduced. We had to use Ethernet to hdmi converters as a solution to send the signal longer distance .

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

I haven't noticed any but could do some testing

[@ShaneBHoover]

I came across this because I was specifically considering the Tail Air for streaming high school games but I fear that being limited to streaming from atop bleachers to a field surrounded by a track would mean using the 4x digital zoom as base setting as 3x might be too far away. Any thoughts on this?

[@tabernacleoffaithandlovemi6749]

Hi, anxious to know if you can use these cams in settings like talkshows, 3 or 4 persons interviews, of course hooked to a switcher (Atem or so)? Say 4 or 5 cams, no crew or 1 man only on the cams, plus 1 director at the switcher? Thanks.

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Make sure to subscribe, I have an upcoming video doing just that. Using the ATEM extreme and 3~4 cameras on a 2 person interview. I'll be using the mixeffect app for automatic switching using video follows audio

[@EastCoastCamping]

Hey Eli cool vid. Had a question . Can you record on the atem? How do you get the video form the different cams angles off the atem? Basically instead of me having to take out the sd card and dump it to adobe , is there basically a record feature on the atem directly to record your feed ? And then be able to post edit ? The switching back and forth feature sold me , but I want to know how you get that video off the atem and be able to upload it to KZbin . Also what monitor do you use

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

You would need the ISO version of the ATEMs

[@tylerkleager]

How does the tracking do with multiple people on the field? Have any examples you can share?

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Can't share the example as it was youth sports but tracking did alright but would sometimes lock onto the adult coaches. I ended up use presets

[@ruizproductions562]

Thanks for this video, I'm actually thinking of getting one, but I'm hesitant because I don't think that Obsbot is good for outdoors use in the rain or snow. But I'm wondering if you could test out how this Obsbot tracking works when following the Goalkeeper for those awsome behind the net blocks of goal. Can the bot keep tracking when the net interferes with image or when goalkeeper move up the pitch to support his team. If you could do a video that would help me understand what complications I might encounter, thanks.

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

I will try to do that sometime. I will say no I would not put it out in the rain or snow at all.

[@Axel-Live]

Good video

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Thanks!

[@andrewleeweiyi]

Love your video! I am also considering to buy OBSBOT Tail Air to film the soccer game! Is it possible to see your soccer game video shoot by OBSBOT Tail Air?

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Sadly, I won't be sharing the soccer video. My day job is teaching cybersecurity, and I don't post images of my child online.

[@rkeantube]

I wonder if some cheap hdmi transmitters would work

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

I want to try the hollyland mars 400s pro!

[@mevitsbricks7202]

Is the rodes mic plugged into the camera?

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

Yes, it was plugged directly into the main OBSBOT Tail Air via the audio input jack.

[@mevitsbricks7202]

@@elitheelectronicsguy Thanks! I should have also asked which version were you using?

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

@@mevitsbricks7202 version of what? Rode? It's the rode wireless go II

How do you convert the OBSBOT tail microHDMI into regular HDMI? No passive dongle has ever worked for me with any of my optical HDMI cables :(

what was the tall tripod you used?

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

It can do about 9 and a half feet or about 3 meters

[@NiemvuiNhoNhoTV]

Eli, great video. Thanks a lot for sharing are you selling the micro HDMI to HDMI bracket/adapter? If so, how much? If not, can you share the 3D printer design so I can ask my buddy printed for me ;-)?

[@chanelgarciahernandez]

How do we set them up so that each camera sends the live stream to a single social media platform?

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

I would recommend an atem or osee or Yolobox to do the switching and streaming

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

If you need help reach out I do consulting work

[@mantlerealty]

Might want to fix your tail air link thanks for the info your content is great

[@RickCave]

How does the tracking work with multiple player games like basketball?

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

I don't know but could try testing

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Sir, Thanks for this video. How to record in Obsbot Tail air internally in 4k 30fps to the micro sd card while we stream in 1080p via ATEM Extreme Iso ? Should I use the remote to start the 4k recording internally or should I run a usb cable to the computer to do that...I'm also thinking of a 3 camera setup. !!. This question is not about live streaming but about obsbot tail air, Will it work powered via usb even when battery has come to the end of it's life cycle ? . Thanks once again. :)

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

@krishnansrinivasan830 Yes, a usb battery bank should keep it charged. I just started the internal camera recording via the remote.

How’s the remote working with those ptz cameras from a distance of over 60m-70m?

[@elitheelectronicsguy]

With clear line of site it worked just fine 150 ft way (45m) I didn't test longer than that. My optical hdmi cables are 150ft. Now as soon as I got behind the small pine tree it was hit or miss.

What tripods do use with them?
