Know before you buy
While the camera supports USB-C connectivity, the Ethernet adapter is highly recommended for professional setups. It provides a more stable, low-latency connection and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows you to power the camera and transmit data using a single cable.
Time of Flight (TOF) technology uses light pulses to measure distance, allowing the camera to lock focus almost instantly. This ensures your subject remains sharp even if they move quickly or if the lighting conditions in your environment change.
Yes, the included remote features dedicated gimbal controls that allow you to pan, tilt, and zoom the camera manually. It also includes a laser close-up function, which is useful for quickly focusing on specific details during a live broadcast.
NDI|HX3 support is an optional feature for the OBSBOT Tail Air. You will need to purchase and activate a separate license to enable this professional broadcasting workflow.
Yes, the camera is equipped with a 3.5mm audio input jack. This allows you to connect an external microphone for higher-quality audio capture compared to the built-in internal microphones.
AI Director Grids help you manage complex live streams by automatically segmenting your video feed into different views. This allows you to monitor multiple angles or subjects simultaneously, making it easier to switch shots during a live production.
