Features

8.4MP 1/1.8-inch CMOS Sensor

The Tail Air features a large 1/1.8-inch CMOS image sensor with 8.4 million effective pixels and a 3856 x 2176 effective pixel resolution. Combined with 2µm pixels and a bright f/1.8 aperture, the camera is designed to deliver detailed video while maintaining strong performance in more challenging lighting conditions.

4K Ultra HD Video

Video recording and streaming resolutions include 4K at 30, 25 and 24fps as well as Full HD 1080p at up to 60fps. This provides the flexibility to prioritise maximum image detail for professional production or smoother motion for presentations, events and livestreams.

8-Element Optical Lens System

An eight-element optical lens system with a 23mm equivalent focal length and f/1.8 maximum aperture provides a wide field of view suited to streaming, presentations and live production. The camera also supports up to 4x digital zoom for tighter compositions.

Advanced AI Auto Tracking

OBSBOT's integrated AI processing allows the Tail Air to automatically identify and follow subjects without requiring a dedicated camera operator. Human, animal and object tracking modes make the camera suitable for presenters, educators, performers, creators and a wide range of live productions.

2-Axis PTZ Gimbal

The integrated motorised gimbal provides a controllable pan range of ±150° and tilt range from -65° to +32°. Its mechanical movement extends to ±160° pan and ±90° tilt, with a maximum controllable speed of 120°/s for responsive subject tracking and manual camera positioning.

Gesture Control 2.0

Gesture Control allows selected camera functions to be operated without touching the camera or accessing software controls. This is particularly useful for presenters and solo creators who need to manage tracking, framing or recording while positioned in front of the camera.

Auto & Manual Focus

The Tail Air supports both Auto Focus and Manual Focus operation, allowing the camera to automatically maintain subject sharpness or giving the operator greater control when a fixed focus point is preferred.

Flexible Video Outputs

The Tail Air can output video through Micro HDMI, USB-C UVC or compatible network streaming workflows. The Micro HDMI interface supports video up to 4K at 30fps and Full HD at 60fps, making it suitable for connection to switchers, monitors, recorders and other production equipment.

USB Webcam Mode

UVC support allows the Tail Air to function as a plug-and-play webcam when connected to a compatible computer through USB-C. This enables it to be used with supported conferencing, streaming and video-production applications.

Wireless Streaming Connectivity

Dual-band 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz Wi-Fi provides wireless control and video-streaming flexibility. Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 is also integrated for compatible control accessories and device communication.

Optional Ethernet & PoE

A compatible OBSBOT USB-C to Ethernet Adapter can add wired Ethernet connectivity and IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet support. This enables compatible installations to transmit network data and provide power through an Ethernet connection for more permanent production setups.

NDI Workflow Support

The Tail Air platform supports NDI network-video workflows, allowing low-latency video and PTZ control across compatible IP production environments. NDI availability depends on the specific Tail Air edition and activation status.

Built-in Dual Microphones

Two built-in MEMS microphones provide stereo audio capture with noise-reduction support. A 3.5mm TRS audio connection also accepts compatible microphone or line-level audio sources, allowing higher-quality external microphones to be integrated into a production.

Local microSD Recording

A microSD card slot supports cards up to 512GB for local recording. This allows footage to be stored directly on the camera while also supporting live-streaming workflows.

Built-in Rechargeable Battery

The integrated 1500mAh lithium-polymer battery provides up to approximately 154 minutes of operating time under OBSBOT's laboratory test conditions when recording at 1080p 30fps. This makes the Tail Air suitable for portable productions where continuous external power is not always available.

OBSBOT Software Ecosystem

The Tail Air works with OBSBOT Start, OBSBOT Live and OBSBOT Center. These applications provide access to camera configuration, AI tracking settings, image adjustments, PTZ operation, streaming controls and multi-camera production features.

• Maximum battery runtime is based on OBSBOT laboratory testing at 1080p 30fps and actual runtime will vary according to settings and operating conditions.
• Wired Ethernet and PoE connectivity require a compatible OBSBOT USB-C to Ethernet adapter sold separately.
• NDI availability depends on the specific camera edition and activation status.
• microSD card, Micro HDMI cable, Ethernet adapter, remote controller and other optional accessories may be sold separately.
• Specifications and images may vary depending upon region / model.
