OBSBOT Tiny 2: The Best 4K AI Livestreaming Webcam?

Recently, videos have become the preferred choice for communication, entertainment and storytelling. So, whether you’re a content creator, live streamer or marketer, the ability to capture high-quality video is essential for engaging your audience in crowded online content. 

In response to these needs, the OBSBOT Tiny 2 is released, offering an all-in-one AI live streaming webcam for all your needs, combining advanced technology with user-friendly design to deliver amazing results. We're here at EssentialPhoto & Video to provide you with an in-depth review of the OBSBOT Tiny 2, covering both its physical designs and features, assisting you in making your informed decision. 

 

Physical Design 

" The OBSBOT Tiny 2 has proudly received the esteemed iF Design Award 2024, acknowledging its exceptional design, innovation, functionality and aesthetic appeal."

 

As the name suggests, the OBSBOT Tiny 2 represents the second generation of the company’s compact webcam design, which is smaller and lighter than the previous model. Unlike other webcams, the Tiny 2 AI webcam arrives in a sleek travel case with a measure of 62.02mm x 47mm x 44mm (excluding mount) and weighs 95.6g (excluding mount), enhancing its convenience for users on the move. This thoughtful addition also ensures that your webcam remains protected when you're on the go.

At the top of the device, the camera sensor is connected to a + / - 90-degree vertical gimbal (+30 degrees to - 70 degrees controllable). This functionality allows you to easily flip the camera downward for privacy or manually adjust its angle without replying solely to software controls.

Moreover, the bottom of the Tiny 2 Live Streaming Webcam is equipped with a unique squircle magnet, giving you an easily adjustable monitor mount when mounting to the stand, tripods, and other equipment. This magnetic attachment not only maintains the Tiny 2’s sleek and compact design but also introduces a second hinge in the stand. It is particularly advantageous for using desk mode during presentations, as it provides ample space for vertical gimbal movement.

2. AI Tracking with Auto Zoom

With its cutting-edge AI tracking technology, the OBSBOT Tiny 2 webcam stands out to keep your projects sharply focused and framed during shooting. For example, whether you’re recording a tutorial, hosting a webinar, or streaming a live event, eliminating manual adjustments to the camera allows you to focus on delivering your content. Furthermore, if it loses sight of you, it will generally stop and resume its tracking once you come back into the frame.

3. Magic Gesture 2.0 and Voice Control

Controlling the camera is made easy through both hand gestures, voice control and a remote controller. With the magic of Gesture 2.0 and voice control features, the ungraded Tiny 2 provides a hands-free experience. You are able to control the camera with simple hand movements, including: start, stop recording, switch between different modes, or even zoom in and out without touching any buttons. So, you can conveniently control the stream with the webcam. However, if you prefer using the remote to avoid disrupting the camera’s video, the remote controller option is also available. It is significantly useful in situations where the camera is mounted in hard-to-reach locations.

Other Features 

5. Optimum Beauty Mode

Another advantage of the camera is its Optimum Beauty Mode, which is ideal for anyone seeking a camera that can improve their appearance. Combined with the OBSBOT app, the Tiny 2 AI webcam offers various filters and beauty options, including retouching, body shape and filtering. This feature analyses your skin tone, eyes and lipstick colour, adjusting settings to enhance your natural beauty and allowing you to present yourself with confidence and poise.

6. Desk Mode and Whiteboard Mode 

Similar to the Insta360Link camera, the OBSBOT Tiny 2 offers desk and whiteboard modes. In desk mode, the camera flips downward to capture your desktop, automatically adjusting and cropping the image for an optimal view. Switching to whiteboard mode, the camera automatically crops the frame to prioritise the whiteboard as the focal point of the shot.
