The AI Director Grid reframes your shots automatically

Elsewhere, a fully-featured mobile app provides swift access to an extensive range of image adjustment parameters, making sure you always produce the best picture possible. It also gives you access to some extremely useful tools such as the AI Director Grid for swift scene composition and switching. This is a fabulous innovation. Essentially what it does is take the image and subdivides that into windows, each of which frames the shot slightly differently. This lets users rapidly switch between different shots and angles of what is the same overall image, giving a huge creative boost for no additional outlay and making any production stand out 

Many functions such as AI tracking and zoom in and out can be operated by gesture control, while there's also an optional remote control for when you need a bit more functionality.

Low light to lots of light, the OBSBOT Tail Air is adept in all conditions

A great PTZ camera at its heart

But for all its superb features and functions, at heart the OBSBOT Tail Air is a camera. As such the image quality is top-notch. The OBSBOT Tail Air's increased true 2μm large pixel size and ƒ1.8 aperture allows for plenty of light to be captured, resulting in exceptional low-light video quality with reduced noise and finer image performance; useful considering the many varied environments the unit has to contend with.

In short, the OBSBOT Tail Air offers a lot for $499. And the good news is that OBSBOT has a special deal coming up this Amazon Prime Day, meaning that you can pick it up for just $449, a saving of $50 or 10%.
