The Tiny 2 Lite is a compact 4K webcam with a sleek design and sophisticated software that lets you tweak almost everything: gesture controls, beautification, zoom levels, camera angles, and more.
Apart from advanced 4K imaging, the webcam features auto-tracking with auto-zoom, dual-omnidirectional microphones, Gesture Control 2.0, and multiple shooting modes (Landscape, Portrait, Upside-Down). Even without all these advanced features, the webcam delivers great image quality and has accompanied me through several weeks of daily Zoom meetings and standups.

OBSBOT TINY 2 LITE REVIEW – DESIGN AND FEATURES 
What makes the image quality special? The OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite boasts a large 1/2” CMOS sensor capable of capturing a lot of detail even in poor lighting conditions. I tested the camera in my bedroom with both the blinds/curtains opened and closed (with my 27″ monitor on). While I look better with natural lighting, the Tiny 2 Lite still handles low-light environments impressively and my face still has a lot of detail.
It can capture in UHD 4K resolution HDR, though the frame rate is limited to 30fps. There’s also a 1080p option at 60fps (and 30fps) for smoother motion at a nice, sharp resolution.
The camera has enhanced auto-tracking with auto-zoom using powerful AI. The “AI Human Tracking” can be set to Standard, Motion, Normal Tracking, Upper-Body, and Close-up. Tracking is enabled by default, and my work colleagues had a bit of fun commenting on my camera following me. I was a bit concerned as my wife occasionally appeared in the background, but the AI smartly focused on me as the primary subject closer to the camera.
This dynamic tracking is great for tutorials or streaming videos, such as cooking classes. Place the camera on the kitchen bench, and it will follow you between different stations, ensuring your viewers don’t miss a thing. For TikTok sellers, it can track you as you move between a table and a wardrobe. It’s pretty cool.
The compact camera also supports hand tracking and body part tracking, which is quite advanced. The focusing is fast and much better compared to some other webcams that take seconds to adjust.
With all these advanced AI features, the Tiny 2 Lite is designed for more than just video conferencing, though it’s perfectly suitable for that purpose too.
The AI also recognises hand gestures, but I’d suggest turning this off when you first plug in the camera. I didn’t realize it was on by default, and the camera zoomed in when I accidentally made a gesture. I didn’t know how to zoom out during the meeting. However, it’s a great feature when you need to highlight something on your desk or show your audience something in your hands.
I was pleasantly surprised by the built-in microphones. Equipped with dual-omnidirectional microphones featuring adjustable noise cancellation and human voice augmentation technology, the audio quality was comparable to my powerful SteelSeries Alias Pro desktop microphone. My work colleagues didn’t notice any difference when I switched to the Tiny 2 Lite’s microphone. The audio is definitely better compared to using my built-in Dell XPS 13 laptop’s microphone and also comes with customisable features like noise reduction and automatic gain control.
For privacy-conscious users, the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite automatically goes to sleep when not in use (customisable settings). You can even set a Sleep Background, which is great for streamers to avoid leaking. In Sleep mode, the camera lens points down, eliminating the need for a manual privacy cover or shutter.
The OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite can be placed almost anywhere. I’ve tested it on both my Dell XPS 13″ laptop screen and my HyperX Armada 27 Gaming Monitor. Thanks to the AI auto-tracking, you can place it at an odd angle, and the AI will smartly track you optimally. You can also manually adjust this from the OBSBOT Center.
