REVIEW – So you’re sitting at your desk, prepping for a Zoom, tinkering with your PTZ webcam to get framed up properly, and you start thinking… What if you could control a camera like that… away from a desk, away from power, maybe even with more than one camera? Well as luck would have it, that’s what Obsbot’s Tail Air can do in conjunction with a smartphone. It’s a ticket to serious creativity and production value that far exceeds the cost of the components.

Tail Air is an AI-Powered 4k PTX streaming camera, complete with internal battery, remote control capabilities and even the ability to hardwire for data with a USB-C to Ethernet cable. Paired with the Obsbot Start App, this camera is an incredibly powerful tool to add to your arsenal.

The Tail Air takes cues from Obsbot’s other desktop cameras and hides a battery inside the main body allowing it to go where tethered cameras cannot. The LED bar provides visual feedback without needing to look away from the lens, while the 4 pinpoint LEDs on the main body provides battery level at a glance showing 25% increments.

The underside has a 1/4 20 threaded insert compatible with standard tripods and mounts.

The lens is a beauty and rests upon a built in gimbal that allows near 360º rotation along with tilt all at resolutions up to 4k.
