OBSBOT Tail Air NDI Streaming Camera 4K, AI Tracking PTZ Camera with Intelligent APP, Gesture Control, HDMI/USB-C/Wireless Webcam, Video Camera Live Stream for YouTube, Church, Worship, Creator, etc.

We create three types of content. Lives (streaming/Twitch), shorts (TikTok), and long form content (YouTube). This camera has changed how we produce all of our content, for the better. 1. The camera is actually good. The lens is a 23mm f/1.8. If you know about camera lenses, then you know how much that alone could cost. We've tried a few different cameras over the years and this one is seriously good for the price. 2. Our workflow while we record in the shop is so much more efficient because of the AI tracking features. The time we spent moving one camera from place to place in the shop is now just placing the camera in an angle that can see most of our workspace and then we use hand gestures to track and zoom. 3. Connectivity is easy since there are multiple ways to connect the tail air. You can plug in the camera via the USB-C cable and start filming or you can connect via (NDI license which can be purchased separately) or even a USB to ethernet adapter. 4. OBSBOT has a remote control for the system too, so you could control all features of the tail air from a distance that way, if your content limits that ability to use hand gestures. Those are just the quick good points. We use the camera as our main streaming camera. The tail air can integrate with our stream deck allowing us to have quick buttons for different angles of the room, different preset zoom points, and quick AI tracking. Since the tail air has all of these features, we have eliminated all the other cameras from our streaming setup. In the OBSBOT App you can control all camera settings, like your ISO, shutter speed, auto focus, white balance, and frame rates. You can even go as far as to apply your temperatures, brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness to the video being recorded. While the $499 price tag may seem high initially, I can assure you that you will not get this quality of camera, with all these features, for anywhere close to this amount anywhere else.

Connects via usb, HDMI, NDI, and wifi. Excellent tracking, clarity, image setting for different light options (cloudy, fluorescent, daylight, etc.), record directly to camera (microSD slot), battery power for mobile needs, no need for capture card for webcam/zoom/MS Teams (unless using HDMI). Highly recommend. My ratings are based on the flexible options for use - portable, webcam, HDMI for ATEM mini (or other switchers), NDI for remote/network options, wireless recording, etc. The remote is a convent addition for teaching/presenting can control ptz gimble, can start/stop record, start/stop tracking, and has a laser pointer.

This has been an incredible camera. But it has one HUGE flaw. When you power the camera it charges the battery and the battery then powers the camera. I've had this camera for 13 months now. About 6 months ago I noticed the battery was not charging to full. But that was not really a problem as it is used in a studio and not as a mobile camera. Then over the last several months the battery level has gone lower and lower. Today the battery will not charge. No charge in the battery equals the camera not turning on. There seems to be no ability to bypass the battery or replace it to fix the issue. This camera was way too expensive to lose it 13 months out. Exactly one month after the warranty expires. It was great while it worked. But with this battery issue it is a huge problem. Do not buy unless you plan to use it only for 6 months to a year.

Let me start you out with wow just WOW. Not only is the Tail Air big but the quality is great. The features are ground breaking with NDI, Bluetooth, and enhanced tracking; as well as the standard features from OBSBOT. The Tail Air has up to 2.5 hrs of battery life so you can take you camera out and record out door and not be limited to your content. The tracking capability is off the charts it can track people, animals, and objects. The quality of it is amazing it can do 4k 30fps or 1080p 60fps. The build quality is great with easy access to plug in. The gestures I feel like is picked up much easier than the tiny 2 and that is refreshing. Seeing a company to go up and beyond the standards, as well as expanding the boundaries of streaming/content creation has me excited and hopeful for the future! Pros: -Bigger Display -Picture Quality -Remote Use -Good Mic -Enhanced AI -4k 30FPS

REVISED REVIEW: I have finally received communication regarding my OBSBOT TAIL AIR. The replacement camera arrived 5/24/2024, and my return shipping fees were reimbursed. This was accomplished through customer support agent Tessa Huang. The replacement TAIL AIR worked right out of the box and has outstanding features and functions, so I'm hopeful this camera will outlive the previous one. Thanks, Ms Huang, for wading through the confusion and resolving my issue. You've restored my confidence with your company. INITIAL REVIEW: This camera worked well for 3 weeks then it began displaying colored bars. I performed a factory reset without success. Amazon's return window ended 3 days before failure. Contacted OBSBOT customer service detailing the problem. Received email [email protected] requesting information about the Amazon sale, problem description, and screenshot of purchase. After submitting this information, I received an email saying they would accept the unit and send me a replacement. I sent the unit via USPS to: Carson Worldwide Inc.-Carson-RM-01 1005 Whitehead Road Ext. Ewing, NJ 08638 USA 848-2xx-xxx6 They said they would return a working unit and refund my shipping costs via Paypal. I provided the information they requested and the returned camera, which they received on 5/17/2024. On 5/18 I emailed [email protected] asking when the new unit would be sent and was told it would be shipped in a few days. I received no follow-up, so on 5/23/2024 I called the number to the location where I sent the camera. This is the reason for my review: The person who answered the phone told me he had no connection to the seller and had no idea if/when/how a replacement camera would come to me. He also said, "You're not the only one who hasn't heard of OBSBOT about now hearing from or receiving their replacement camera". He told me I should contact Amazon directly because they don't want to contact the seller directly. But Amazon already told me the return window expired 3 days before the camera failed. After reading the FB OBSBOT Tail Air group, It is clear that my camera's failure is not unique and is known by the company. Along with other reviews detailing camera problems, I'm not convinced this is a quality/reliable camera. If I hear from OBSBOT with confirmation of a working replacement unit being sent and me receiving it I'll update this review, but until then this review will stand. Currently, I do not recommend purchasing OBSBOT Tail Air, or the reliability of the company if the unit fails.

Great camera, easy to use and set up. I use it to live stream my son's baseball games thru Gamechanger. No issues at all, I'm able to stream the entire game with no problems and being able to set 4 different positions to get the pitcher/batter, each base line and a full field view makes for better viewing.

As a video tech, I was excited about getting a bunch of these to incorporate in my productions. I did use it for a few jobs, but recently it started glitching and being unreliable for no reason I can think of. It started by doing these weird jerk glitches, and as it jerked to its pan limit, it would jerk hard a few times before stopping. This ultimately resulted in a much more limited pan range, where I needed to adjust the tripod to position and experience random, embarrassing glitches. I'm not sure whether it's a mechanical thing or a software thing. It has only been a little over 1 year since purchased, and customer support said it is no longer covered, and I must pay to have it repaired. Unfortunately, my trust in this brand and maybe technology will take some time to recover. I know there are more robust PTZ cams out there, but this one did have a nice form factor and app/operation experience.

The product overall seemed good. However it was unable to connect to a mobile hotspot. RTSP was also extremely unreliable and many times would not connect to the network (devices connected to different network error) and when connected would drop and not reconnect. It is also important this does not come with an NDI license (100$). Unfortunately the support team is over seas and only works through email. It worked great in a pinch wired with usb-c. But unfortunately that was not the use case I purchased it for and will return it for the tail 2 as it has Ethernet that can be plugged into a dedicated wireless router. Overall a good product if you go in knowing some quirks.

This is camera 3 for me, for when I get up and move around and want the camera to follow me. It also has 3 preset positions, as well as AI tracking. It really is very good. I love being able to reposition the camera and zoom using the app or remote. You can control it with your smart phone, but there is also an available remote control, which I bought, and also highly recommend.

Die Tail Air von OBSBOT ist definitiv eine Top Kamera, auch wenn der Preis für einige eventuell zu hoch sein wird. Es gibt, aber auch gute Gründe wieso ich sie mir trotzdem geholt habe. Man hat hier alles,was man braucht. 4k 30fps und Gestensteuerung. Was die Kamera ausmacht ist aber, das sie drahtlos zum Streamen genutzt werden kann. Für jeden Content Creator ist das Gold wert. Man will öfters mal woanderst Aufnahmen und mit dieser Webcam ist das möglich. NDI Streaming ist auch möglich. Es kann auch eine Speicherkarte eingelegt werden und somit ohne Probleme jederzeit aufgenommen werden. Die Kamera sieht zwar groß aus,aber wiegt wenig. Dazu kommt, dass es noch eine schöne Box für den Transport dazu gibt. Über das OBSBOT Programm läßt sich alles einstellen. Hier werden auch dir Firmware Updates durchgeführt. Diese kommen Regelmäßig. Wer keinen PC hat,kann auch die App fürs Handy benutze!

Grande produto . O mesmo tem uma definição já mais conseguida . Aconselho
