Precision imaging with high-quality optics

The OBSBOT Tail 2 has a 1/1.5” CMOS sensor and a meticulously engineered 12-piece lens array to produce high-resolution imagery with minimal distortion. With support for video capture at up to 4K 60fps and 1080p 120fps, this camera ensures clarity across various production environments. Dual Native ISO technology automatically balances exposure in bright or dim scenes, preserving detail without overexposing highlights or losing definition in shadows. The All-pixel PDAF system delivers rapid, accurate autofocus, locking onto subjects with remarkable speed and consistency.

Next-generation AI tracking

Tail 2’s next-generation AI Tracking 2.0 offers significant upgrades for creators requiring responsive and precise subject monitoring. The “Only Me” function ensures focus remains on a selected target, regardless of other movement in the frame, while the Auto Zoom feature dynamically adjusts framing from close-ups to wide shots based on subject positioning. Group Tracking allows multiple human subjects to remain in view, maintaining consistent framing across complex scenes. Tail 2 expands its tracking beyond people, recognising over 200 types of objects and 30 animal categories, making it suitable for diverse production needs.

PTZR architecture for vertical capture

As the world’s first PTZR camera of its kind, the Tail 2 redefines framing flexibility with its innovative pan, tilt, zoom, and roll architecture. It enables smooth transitions between landscape and portrait orientations with 90° lens rotation, supported by an Auto Leveling System that maintains consistent horizon alignment. This mechanical design combines with 3-axis gimbal stabilisation to reduce shake and maintain sharpness, even in motion-heavy scenes. Whether filming sports, ceremonies, or live interviews, the PTZR system delivers mechanical stability and precise framing control.

Smart connectivity across professional setups

OBSBOT’s Tail 2 offers a wide range of professional-grade I/O and protocol support, including HDMI, SDI, USB-C (UVC), RS-232, and NDI HX3. This ensures compatibility with live production switchers, streaming setups, and virtual studio environments. With support for FreeD protocol, Tail 2 integrates smoothly into AR and VR pipelines, enabling real-time data transmission for motion tracking and virtual production. The RS-232 port allows daisy-chaining and control of up to 255 devices, which is ideal for large multi-camera environments. Whether wired or wireless, Tail 2 is ready for real-time signal integration, whether wired or wirelessand monitoring.

Intuitive gesture and software-based control

From gesture recognition to software-based control, Tail 2 can be operated remotely and intuitively. Built-in gesture recognition enables users to trigger tracking, zooming, or recording functions from a distance without physical input devices. Wi-Fi 6 and a dual-antenna system ensure strong and responsive wireless communication, reducing lag and interference during high-resolution streaming. OBSBOT’s software suite, including OBSBOT Center, Live, Start, and WebUI, provides flexible access to manual and automated controls across mobile, desktop, and browser platforms, making content production more accessible and adaptable to various scenarios.

FAQs:

What connectivity options are available on the OBSBOT Tail 2 AI-Powered 4K PTZR Camera for integration with other systems?

Tail 2 features an extensive range of I/O options to support professional setups. It includes HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI, USB-C 3.0, and a 1Gbps RJ45 Ethernet port with PoE+ support for IP-based production. Audio inputs include both MIC IN and LINE IN via 3.5mm jacks, while RS-232 ports (in/out) allow external control using VISCA, Pelco-D, or Pelco-P protocols, making the camera compatible with traditional PTZ controllers and production switchers.

How long does the OBSBOT Tail 2 AI-Powered 4K PTZR Camera’s battery last, and what are the power options?

The OBSBOT Tail 2’s built-in 5000mAh lithium-polymer battery delivers up to 343 minutes of continuous operation under 1080p/30fps recording conditions. Charging from 0% to full takes approximately 150 minutes when the unit is powered off. Tail 2 also supports USB PD3.0 fast charging and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3 af/at), providing flexible powering options for continuous use in portable and fixed studio environments.

Can I manually control the camera’s focus and exposure?

Yes, Tail 2 supports both auto and manual focus modes, giving you precise control over the image when needed. You can manually adjust exposure with ±3EV exposure compensation and control ISO from 100 to 6400. White balance is configurable between 2000K and 10000K, ensuring accurate colour rendition in diverse lighting conditions.

How stable is the OBSBOT Tail 2 AI-Powered 4K PTZR Camera during movement or panning?

Tail 2 is built on a 3-axis gimbal with a maximum controllable speed of 120° per second and a minimal angle jitter of ±0.003°. The gimbal enables a mechanical pan range of ±175°, a tilt range of ±90°, and a roll range of -135° to 135°, offering smooth, cinematic movements and highly stable video capture, even when the camera or subject is in motion.

What file formats and storage options does the OBSBOT Tail 2 AI-Powered 4K PTZR Camera support?
