The latest addition to the family of AI-powered smart webcams, Obsbot Tiny 2 Lite, remarkably brings down the cost, while preserving all the essential attributes present in its predecessor – the Obsbot Tiny 2. Known for its efficiency in streaming and webcam utilization, it’s without question a forerunner in webcams ideal for broadcasting.
A Signature Feature: Auto-Tracking and Auto-Zoom
One of the distinguishing capabilities of the newly introduced webcam is its ability to auto-track, allowing the camera to follow the subject seamlessly. Alongside that, auto-zoom can digitally focus on the subject, providing a more polished and professional aesthetic to your live stream. Be it transmitting your culinary prowess or leading your virtual yoga sessions, making them appear more skillful is now within easy reach. The improvement these features bring also extends to enhancing the visual quality of online meetings.
Tech-Savvy User Control
Employing intuitive gesture control, subjects can command the webcam to zoom in and alternate between ‘locked’ or ‘unlocked’ states to track their movement around the room using only a straightforward palm gesture. The Obsbot Tiny 2 Lite also comes with an option for remote control, adding flexibility to its usage. Moreover, the device includes the ‘Obsbot Center,’ a comprehensive software tool with presets compatible with both Mac and Windows systems.
Snapshot: Obsbot Tiny 2 Lite Specs
This new innovation carries a slightly scaled-down, 1/2-inch sensor, and harnesses a powered gimbal to achieve agile subject-tracking. It assures smooth 4K resolution at 30fps and 1080p at 60fps. In comparison to its sibling, it might support a single native ISO, but still integrates dual omnidirectional mics, and boasts a USB-C connection.
A Compact Yet Functional Design
Weighing just slightly less than the Tiny 2, the Tiny 2 Lite isn’t named for its size or weight but rather for its agreeable pricing.
Market Impact and Competition
Despite the impressive features, the Obsbot Tiny 2 Lite does not escape the competition. One primary rival comes in the guise of the company’s flagship, the Obsbot Tiny 2, which has a slightly greater 1/1.5-inch sensor but is priced at a higher $329. Another competitor is the Insta360 Link, priced at $299 and also relies on a 1/2-inch sensor.
Entry to Market: Pricing and Availability
Offering all these features, the budding Obsbot Tiny 2 Lite breaks into the market at a significantly lower price of $179. With its effective pricing, it’s currently available for orders.
Stay tuned for an upcoming full review of this promising device.
