OBSBOT Tiny 2 4K VS Tail Air ? Which is Best For Live Streaming

[@1101CigarLounge]

Great video, I'm looking at tracking motion in an olympic style sport fencing club. Camera ceiling mounted and, hopefully tracking the athletes as they move back and forth (side to side for the camera) on a fencing strip. At this point I just purchased a Tail Air for testing on one of our strips, but honestly am thinking that the Tiny 2 may be just as suitable for our needs since we are permanently mounting the cameras, wired power to them so the battery is unnecessary, etc. We are looking for connection to a tablet to control "instant replay" of the action, and displaying it on a 32" monitor above the scoring box located at the side of the fencing strip.

Cool keep in mind the Tiny 2 is usb only so in order for your to monitor or record with it you need a computer or something that supports uvc with a cable connected directly to the camera which could be limiting if you aren’t in a studio setup, however the Tail air has many ways to connect it.. I hope the video was helpful

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yep the tracking is cool.

[@sujithjoyabraham]

This was a great review. And, I agree, the image quality seems better on the Tiny 2. I also noticed some ‘choppiness’ with the image rendering on the Tail Air whereas the Tiny 2 seemed to be much smoother. Not sure if the ATEM is causing some of that.

[@LiveProductionTips]

The choppiness can happen when they are in auto mode sometimes they slow down the shutter speed to compensate for the light and usually that causes the choppiness but it’s likely to happen more with the Tail before the Tiny 2 because of sensor size difference. But it could happen to either if in low light. If you have enough light you good, also if you have time you can setup everything manually

[@daphneygirl]

Thanks for highlighting the price difference. It's a significant factor for me, and the Tiny 2 seems like great value for money

[@LiveProductionTips]

Absolutely. Glad it was helpful, the tiny 2 is my favourite too

[@anotherjack]

Awesome review. Which one is better at tracking full body without clipping body parts. For example, in doing a yoga class production, you would want a camera to stay zoomed in on the person, but not clip hands if you are extending them above your head, or clip feet, if you are in a push up.

[@LiveProductionTips]

I would say either one would do a great job at tracking full body. They are both great at tracking it’s just a matter of setting them up for full body tracking which is easy. The biggest deciding factor would be connectivity & low light performance

[@anotherjack]

Wow, I really appreciate your feedback. You are awesome. For teaching yoga classes on KZbin from a small yoga studio, which one would you recommend?

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@anotherjack If you have enough lighting get the Tail Air, if you have access to a computer in the studio and can easily connect the usb cable from the tiny 2 you will get a better image quality from the tiny 2, plus its got a lot of beauty features

[@anotherjack]

Thanks dude! Much appreciated 👍

[@MrLeomike]

Question, Can the remotes work universally between the the Tiny 2 & Tail Air or would I have to purchase a remote for each one?

[@LiveProductionTips]

I believe they have different remotes so you would need to buy for each. The remote I have though can control up to 3 tails simultaneously.

[@gunstargizmo]

Both are great cameras for image quality, but few people will be using the extra features on the Tail Air if they're only using it streaming.

[@LiveProductionTips]

True

[@teiosensei9186]

Tiny 2 is perfect for my legion go 😊

[@LiveProductionTips]

🆒 awesome

[@Dedilatgaming]

How about the focal lenght? I wanna put it as Overhead camera Pool table.

[@Dedilatgaming]

Is it posible?

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@Dedilatgaming you can check the lens specs on both cameras but without overthinking it I am sure either camera would work for a overhead shot. They are wide enough and you can zoom in as you wish

[@siyoon0309]

I have both cameras. In the live screen of the TikTok broadcast, Tiny 2 looked clearer and had better picture quality. Is it a settings problem? Or is Tiny 2 better?

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@siyoon0309 tiny 2 has a bigger sensor and looks cleaner especially in low light. But you can still play with the lighting and software to adjust the look of the Tail Air

[@siyoon0309]

@@LiveProductionTips The sharpness is incorrect. When broadcasting from two cameras, Tiny 2 can be said to have better clarity. Your screen now looks better on Tiny 2. Why is that?

[@bryankjones]

Greetings, man. Enjoy your content. Did you ever test the Tail Air directly via USB to the computer? The Atem is only 1080P so the video is being downsampled from 4K.

[@LiveProductionTips]

Thanks no I didn’t. There so many features it’s hard to test them all

[@bryankjones]

@LiveProductionTips Understood. Quick question: I'm preparing to launch some content on my business channel soon, and I was hoping that you would be willing to check it out.

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@bryankjones sure congratulations. How can I help ?

[@DutchyTrailBlaze]

No hdmi is no go ! I go for tail air

[@LiveProductionTips]

I feel you

[@tinafernandez2876]

EEK! I just purchased the Tiny 2 and am now wondering it I should have purchased the tail. Your opinion would be valued greatly. At first at first I felt I needed a web cam to use with OSBI. allowing me to play video house tours running in the background well I present them in the foreground. Now I am wondering if it would be more beneficial to actually take the gadget with me to the property and record the property tour I'm currently using my phone Of course I need to up my video production. If I understood you correctly with the tail I can view footage on my phone while I'm at the property Without my laptop can I do this with the tiny?

[@tinafernandez2876]

P.S. Someone also made a comment about HDMI being a deal killer for them. I have a lot to learn. Don't even know how important that is for me :/

[@LiveProductionTips]

If the Tiny 2 does what you need then you should keep it but for sure the Tail Air will give you more options, you can take it out and record of course you can monitor everything from your phone. With Tiny 2 you always need a computer because it’s just a webcam

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@tinafernandez2876 If you don’t know how important it is you probably don’t need it. There are plenty of ways to use the tail air so ..

[@tinafernandez2876]

@@LiveProductionTips THANK YOU!!!

[@tinafernandez2876]

@@LiveProductionTips UGH!! Well I am feeling for the extra $150 I can take the Tail with me to properties. If I exchange for the Tail, do you feel the camera quality is significantly better than the iphone camera? If not, I will keep the tiny 2 and use it strictly as a webcam. Thank you for your help.

[@K11Rdizzy]

thank you

[@LiveProductionTips]

You are welcome

[@mathemo2011]

Do you have to pay to use the NDI and PoE functions, like Logitech does with Mevo?

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@mathemo2011 PoE should be Free, NDI you may need to pay for a license. I also believe Mevo Core comes with NDI license

[@kendrickjarias]

yes BUT, there's no HDMI on the tiny..thats a deal breaker for me

[@LiveProductionTips]

Yep I feel you

[@siyoon0309]

What if only the video is transmitted? The picture quality looks better on Tiny 2, is that correct?

[@LiveProductionTips]

@@siyoon0309 in most cases yes but not all the time . Your lighting is a key factor

[@WalterBoring]

will they both do NDI?

[@LiveProductionTips]

No just the Tail Air

[@alinsandu7190]

should use more tranzitions.

@@LiveProductionTips which seems to be the generic consensus for a lot of electronics. Sometimes it's better to buy'n'try both to form a better weighted decision, afterwards.
