OBSBOT Tiny 3 review

The Tiny 3 is the most capable camera here on paper. OBSBOT pairs a 1/1.28 inch 50MP sensor, 37% larger than the one in the Tiny 2, with dual native ISO up to 12800, which the company says keeps low-light footage bright and clean. It records 4K at 30 fps and 1080p at 120 fps for smooth motion or slow motion. Dual all-pixel PDAF autofocus and DCG HDR handle focus and high-contrast scenes. The motorized gimbal is what sets it apart from fixed webcams: AI Tracking 2.0 follows people and objects, and Voice Tracking turns the camera toward whoever is speaking. Audio is unusually strong for a webcam, with a triple-mic array, 24-bit/48kHz recording and five modes. OBSBOT says the body is 48% smaller than the Tiny 2 and starts at 63 g. Our location only saw euro pricing, so check the US store before you buy.

Who it is for

Streamers, teachers and presenters who move around and want the camera to follow them in low light.
