-

If you're in the market for a smart webcam beyond just capturing your face, the OBSBOT Tiny 2 might be the perfect solution. This 4K webcam has features like AI-powered tracking, zooming, gesture and voice control, and more. Get yours here… from the official OBSBOT website!

In this blog post, I'll share my experience unboxing, setting up, and testing the OBSBOT Tiny 2.

What's in the Box?

The OBSBOT Tiny 2 arrived in a sleek white box with a bright red top and bottom, showing a picture of the webcam and its 4K capabilities. While the packaging is minimal, it ensures all items are well-protected and easy to access. Here's what I found inside:

  • OBSBOT Tiny 2 webcam: A compact, cube-shaped device with a front-facing lens and USB-C port at the back. It also has a 1/4-inch screw hole at the bottom for tripod mounting.
  • Adjustable magnetic mount: Easily attaches to the bottom of the webcam to adjust its position on a monitor or tripod.
  • USB-C to USB-C cable (1.5 meters) and a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
  • Storage case: For carrying and protecting the webcam and its accessories.
  • User manual and warranty card.

How to Set Up the OBSBOT Tiny 2

Setting up the OBSBOT Tiny 2 is a breeze. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Attach the magnetic mount to the webcam and place it on a monitor or tripod.
  2. Connect the USB-C cable to the webcam and plug it into your computer, using the adapter if needed.
  3. Download the OBSBOT WebCam software from the official website. This software lets you control settings like resolution, frame rate, tracking mode, and more.
  4. Activate the webcam by launching the software, creating an account, and registering the device.

Once set up, you can use it with popular software like Zoom, Skype, or OBS Studio. 

Performance: What Makes It Stand Out?

The OBSBOT Tiny 2 is more than a typical webcam. It uses advanced AI technology to provide features like automatic tracking, zooming, and control via gestures and voice commands. Let's dive into its key features:

Image Quality

  • The webcam's 1/1.5-inch CMOS sensor captures up to 4K resolution at 30 fps or 1080p at 60 fps, ensuring sharp, vibrant images.
  • Features like PixGain HDR (which reduces noise and enhances clarity) and dual native ISO (which adjusts to lighting conditions) further improve image quality.
  • The wide-angle f/1.9 lens captures a broader view, letting in more light for better visibility in various environments.

Tracking Capabilities

The OBSBOT Tiny 2 has a built-in 2-axis gimbal for smooth 140-degree horizontal and 100-degree vertical movement. Its tracking features include:

  • Auto tracking with auto zoom, which detects and follows your face or body, adjusting the zoom as needed.
  • Zone tracking, which allows the webcam to pause tracking when you enter a specific area and resume when you leave.
  • Auto framing, adjusting the frame size to fit multiple people seamlessly.

Gesture and Voice Control

You can control the webcam hands-free with commands like "Zoom in closer" or gestures to zoom in and out, making it perfect for live presentations or tutorials.

Privacy Mode

The privacy mode lets you pre-set a video or image to stream when you tilt the camera down. This feature is useful for taking breaks during video calls or showing pre-recorded content.

My Opinion and Recommendation

After using the OBSBOT Tiny 2 for several days, I must say I'm impressed. Its AI-powered tracking, crystal-clear 4K image quality, and user-friendly setup make it a versatile tool for content creators, educators, and remote workers. With its rich feature set, it outperforms many competitors, and I highly recommend it.


P.S. Here's how I use the OBSBOT Tiny 2 in my setup:
