12 Month Warranty*Add a powerful broadcasting camera to your remote, home, or conference room environment with the OBSBOT Tail Air AI-Powered PTZ Streaming Camera. The Tail Air is an updated 4K smart streaming PTZ camera that offers remote software control over its pan, tilt, and zoom functions. It also supports hand gestures for intuitive control and features advanced auto-tracking to follow you around the room, making it ideal for dynamic presentations and interactive streaming sessions.
The Tail Air updates its features from the Tiny 2 with a more powerful 1/1.8" CMOS 8MP sensor; updated AI human/animal/object tracking, updated gesture control 2.0, micro-HDMI output, a 3.5mm audio input jack, optional NDI|HX3 support, Ethernet/PoE connectivity with an optional adapter, and high-quality, low-light performance with infrared tracking.
AI Tracking
Activate Human Tracking and Tail Air will smoothly follow the subject, freeing you from gimbal adjustments. The intelligent tracking algorithm seamlessly keeps the subject in frame, enabling hands-free operation to concentrate on capturing outstanding video.
The improved Animal Tracking feature is now more accurate and intelligent than ever before, making it easier to show off your beloved cat, dog, or horse companions in your shot videos.
There is nothing you can't track with the Object Tracking feature. It's time to explore new tracking objects and bring your innovative ideas to life.
Low-Light Performance
The Tail Air's tracking performance works well either in long-distance condition, get yourself free from the limited tracking space. It maintains reliable, smooth, and consistent tracking even in low-light conditions, and it performs great in high-speed tracking, effortlessly tracking you, even in fast-paced scenarios. It persists in tracking the target even if it's briefly blocked by obstacles.
Utilising TOF (Time of Flight) technology, the Tail Air can precisely calculate the Time of Flight and accurately measure the distance between the camera and the target. This advanced feature enhances focus efficiency in both bright and low-light shooting by emitting a beam of infrared light.
Multiview
When you activate the AI Director Grids feature, the OBSBOT AI algorithm will automatically divide the captured video into different grids in real time, such as AI Auto Framing grid and Preset Positions preview, and more. Click the grid where you want it on Air to swiftly manage your live stream image.
Gesture Control
Effortlessly manage your Tail Air with intuitive Gesture Control 2.0 to simplify video shooting process. The newly added dynamic gestures enable seamless and precise zoom adjustments, while the "ok" gesture allows you to remotely start/stop recording.

Optional NDI|HX3 Support
NDI is one of the most advanced video technologies that merges high-quality, low-latency video, audio, controls, and metadata into one stream. The Tail Air is compatible with NDI with an optional license via wireless and an optional Ethernet adapter, offering endless potential for creating efficient, easy-to-use live streams on a network for single or multi-camera setups.
Multiple Interfaces
The Tail Air comes with several built-in interfaces that allow it to have abundant compatibility. You can output its video signal directly to a screen or integrate it seamlessly into your current live stream workflow.
