Despite its impressive features, which I've praised in a previous video, there are a few key areas where it falls short for me. In this video I share my 4 reasons as to why I won't be adding the OBSBOT Tail Air to my studio setup.
π· First up, I discuss the image quality. While the Obsbot Tail Air has some unique capabilities, including the option to buy a remote for control, the image quality just doesn't meet my expectations, especially when compared to competitors like the Razer Kazer Pro Ultra.
π Secondly, I address the lack of a privacy mode. The absence of this feature means the camera is always potentially 'on,' which can be concerning. I appreciate devices like the Insta360 or the Pocket 3 lineup, where the camera retracts or shuts off when not in use, ensuring privacy.
π The third point I touch on is the port placement on the device. The ports are scattered in a way that complicates cable management, which is a small but significant detail for a streamlined setup.
π₯ Lastly, I share my thoughts on the standalone recording capabilities. I wish the Obsbot Tail Air offered a log mode for recording, allowing for more post-production flexibility in color grading and detail capture.
π Despite these drawbacks, there are features of the Obsbot Tail Air that I genuinely like, such as the innovative remote control. Itβs a cool aspect that adds convenience to the device's use.
π Looking forward, I express my hope for an improved 'pro' version of the device in the future. I believe there's potential for Obsbot to address these issues and come out with a more compelling product.
