We've gotten a lot of use out of PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) cameras like the OBSBOT Tine SE as well as the OBSBOT Meet 2, but when you need something heavy duty, portable, and standalone you need the OBSBOT Tail. That's been an awesome addition as it allows us to put a camera nearly anywhere without power or cabling. Now the team is ready to kick that to the next level with their next-generation upgrade, the OBSBOT Tail 2 – the very first three-axis PTZR (that's Pan, Tilt, Zoom, an R-Axis Stabilization) 4K camera. Frankly, if you are Panasonic, Lorex, Honeywell, or Logitech, you have every reason to be nervous. Why? Take a look at ANY of these videos at the bottom of the order page. I'm personally blown away by the clarify of the zoom and the stabilization, but truthfully this thing is overflowing with upgrades.

The OBSBOT Tail 2 is a dream come true for game streamers and content creators will find the OBSBOT Tail 2 a game-changer. With 4K 60fps video capture, AI Tracking 2.0, and an intuitive Auto Zoom feature, your streams will always be crisp and engaging. The camera’s AI facial framing and gesture control enhance the user experience, offering a more interactive and immersive feel for viewers. Additionally, with 3G-SDI and NDI|HX3 support, it provides top-tier connectivity for professional-grade streaming setups, ensuring a flawless experience for both content creators and their audiences.

We've already thought of how we'll be using this for tabletop capture, interviews, and more, but since this device has NDI capabilities for wireless connectivity, can be mounted virtually anywhere, has self-contained rechargeable power, and local storage, it's the Swiss Army Knife of cameras.
