OBSBOT Tail Air // The perfect(?) 4K PTZ streaming camera with tracking and NDI

As you probably know I like to do a live stream every once in a while. I think it’s fun and I enjoy figuring out all the tech stuff necessary to make a stream happen. OBSBOT reached out to me to see if I wanted to test out their new ptz streaming camera, the Obsbot Tail Air. And while, as you know, shoot with Lumix mirrorless cameras, this 4K pan tilt zoom camera WITH tracking piqued my interest. They sent me the complete kit with three Tail Airs, ethernet adapters, NDI licences, remote controller and ND filters.
I have to admit, I was a bit sceptical at first, thinking it might just be a glorified webcam. But it’s much more than that and it’s absolutely packed with features. So, sit tight. Here we go.

    The shifting in the image also happens with some of the gopro cameras as well. I think it's just a streaming thing because it doesn't seem to happen with hdmi connection.

    Thank you very much for your perspective! i followed the crowdfunding and was close to ordering. got the obsbot tiny a month before these were announced. same conclusion. an awesome setup for webinars and other small but permanent studios.. not sure if i feel comft. putting those in my hard case.. got to reduce/rethink the setup then 🤔 i would love to see something like a base with the usual ports: HDMI (normal size), SDI, RJ45 (maybe POE?) very tempting...but since i'm already in the switcher world, i just ordered two of those BM micro cameras to extend the existing setup ... I would really love to see a Fullframe EVA ii... should not further think about any setup 🤐

    I can see where you’re coming from. The Tail Air doesn’t fit every use case and the BM micro cameras are great from what I’ve seen. A base for the Tail Air with HDMI, SDI etc. is a great idea. Right now, there is a base available, but that’s only for extended battery life and 360 rotation. Thanks for watching!

    12:00 I think webcam's are particularly used in (relatively) low light. Almost always indoors, and rarely in such a good lighting as yours. ISo1600 is very much welcome.

    Fair enough. I do think the average user could benefit a lot from learning a bit about lighting. It doesn’t have to be much or expensive to make a significant difference. I’m also planning on doing some lighting videos. But, in any case, being able to use higher ISOs is definitely a pro to this camera and very useful. Thanks for watching!

    I have not had that happen. Were you recording to the SD card? And what was the ambient temperature? Have you reached out to OBSBOT? There’s a Tail Air Facebook group where you can tell them issues you find. They’re usually quite responsive in my experience.

    I'd like to use this for streaming our billiard matches at our club. The contrast and quality is important as well as the ability to focus on the front and back of the table without blur. What are you thoughts? Do you think this would be suitable?

  • @RedFrameTech

    @RedFrameTech

    8 ай бұрын

    I think it would be suitable. Focussing is easy when using the app. Just tap the screen to focus. A few things to keep in mind though: 1 it’s digital zoom only, so image quality loss when zooming. 2 It needs light for good image quality. 3 If the subject is far enough away from the lens, most of the scene will be in focus anyway, because of the relatively small sensor and short focal length Thanks for watching!
