In this article, we’ll delve into the specs, features, and expected price of the OBSBOT Tail Air in Nepal.

OBSBOT Tail Air Overview:

That’s why, OBSBOT has managed to gather the Reddot Design Award 2022, iF Design Award 2021, CES Asia Innovation Awards 2019, and so on.

1/1.8-inch Starlight CMOS sensor

The Tail Air sports a 1/1.8-inch Starlight CMOS sensor with f/1.8 aperture and 2µm pixel size, ensuring better lowlight performance. It gets 8 pieces of lenses for less distortion. Capable of shooting 4K res videos at 30fps and 1080p HD at 60fps, the Tail Air uses TOF (Time of Light) tech to intelligently measure the distance between the camera and the subject. Its PTZ function enables Pan, Tilt, and Zoom action on the go.

AI Auto Tracking

The key USP of this camera has to be its AI Auto Tracking feature. Users can simply activate ‘Human Tracking’ and it will follow the subject, keeping it in frame seamlessly. The hands-free mode is also liable for tracking your pet’s movements via a dedicated ‘Animal Tracking’ mode. Not only living things, the Tail Air is designed to track objects as well for effortless video streaming.
