Great camera
Great image, we use it for podcast and ai tracking is good, I hope new updates solve colon problem but it is a powerful camera, u will need a iPad or phone to control the camera, but you have to exit of the camera control if you need to use more than one camera in iPad

Good quality videos
Awesome camera, it's great quality for zoom calls etc. You just need an external mic because this camera doesn't have a built in one unfortunately.

PTZR for Mobile Live Streaming
Whether streaming or recording, indoors or out, the OBSBOT Tail 2 is at the head of the class. AI Tracking works well, even holding me in a crowd. The 4K sensor provides a beautiful image and the 5x optical zoom brings the action to you. Battery life is a real-world 5+ hours. Physical connections include HDMI, SDI, UVC and RS232 (PTZ control). Software connections offer RSTP, SRT, NDI. Throw in Wifi6 and BLE 5.4 and you have the ultimate mobile live streaming camera.

Should be better for the price.
Good picture quality with 50Mp sensor. Gret follow quality. Very low zoom strength. Latency using SDI on a 6 foot run. Should be better for the price. Returned.

Not impressed.
What a PITA this camera is.No audio output on HDMI, only on SDI.Software constantly screams at you about not having an SD card inserted.Literature claims it can do RTMP, but that's not true.Tracking goes bananas if it loses sight of your face.Software is glitchy, not intuitive, and has lots of "chinglish" throughout.Have to reconnect it to WiFi every single time you fire it up.Prone to noise from adjacent power sources.Will continue to use it up until my return window is almost up, but looking like it's going back.

The camera that was ALMOST great but fell to bad. Audio sync hell.
Has great tracking and camera quality, but the audio input via external mic is very badly out of sync. Sometimes 2-3s out of sync from the video recording. There is no audio sync setting in the app so no way to fix this. Beyond disappointed as this was a product I was VERY much looking forward to. Even worse since I tested out the tracking and found it was super good and the video was very high quality. If only the audio could have not been a deal breaker :( :( :( Might not be as big of an issue if you are using PC with software that lets you adjust audio sync, but for a phone+camera+mic user, it isn't good at all.
