What a great demo. I recently purchased the Obsbot Tail Air. Recently started using it for exercise videos. I’m just beginning to tweak the settings. I’m enjoying it. No camera man needed. What a difference a camera makes😁 Thx . I learn much from you.👍🏾✨

Fantastic video, when you talk about doing a manual focus setting, can you do a manual focus for each of the three P1 P2 and P3? I’m picturing being in the church and the first Manual focus I want to do is on the Lecturn the second one is at the altar and maybe the third one could possibly be back into the church or Manual focus, or single focus I mean, is that possible to do that for each P1,2,3 setting?

Hey thanks for this clear review. I just got the Osbot Tail Air but I would need more tips for the tracking especially with object. I'm a basketball coach and I bought it to film the team playing. In my first tests, the camera kept on losing the player or the ball. I don't kinow if it's because there are too many players on screen (10) or if I messed up. So if you could produce a such qualitative video about the tracking, it would be very helpful for me. Thanks again

[@GreenBoxMedia]

There might be too much going on in the image for the tracking to keep on.
I have found in my testings that when I track myself and walk around and pass other people, the camera sometimes looses track and could only recover in about 50% of the cases where it lost track.
If you think your tracking is not working properly, you might want to reach out to support to check.
In your case, i would try to disable the AI gesture for tracking and initiate the tracking using the APP (double tap on the object until it gets a green box). By disabling the gesture you make sure it’s not mistaking any of your players' hand guested / movements for a gesture command.

[@JimHassey]

Great video. Question... when the camera is in auto-track mode, how do I get it to put/crop my head into the 'top' of the frame (or right/left/bottom) instead of the 'middle'.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

In the 'AI' settings there is a button that looks like a crop. This menu will allow you to set the vertical and horizontal position of the 'subject'.

[@pabloerubio]

Thanks for the video. I do have a question if I may…. Based on your experience, would you recommend this camera for live streaming of soccer games?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

If you want to provide an overview of the playfield, yes.
If you expect to track a single player and zoom in to bring them to fill the frame across the field, no.

[@curttitus405]

Thank you. How do I use it for Zoom meeting?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

By using it as a USB webcam

[@colestudios]

Also with the zoom, is the zoom optical or Digital?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Purely digital.
