INTRODUCTION

    Both because of the COVID-19 pandemic and popular demand from streamers and content creators. webcams can now deliver so much more in terms of not only picture quality but also features, even compared to just 5 years ago. Needless to say, such jumps in performance and/or almost always happen by brand new players who enter the market for that specific reason and usually enjoy the support of consumers from the get-go. In this case that player is OBSBOT and after testing their near-excellent Tiny 2 and Tail Air models for the past 2 weeks I've been using their latest Meet 2 AI Powered 4K Webcam.

    Founded in 2016, OBSBOT is an innovative imaging technology and hardware brand dedicated to using new technologies such as AI to inject new vitality into the videography market. With the artificial intelligence as the core, OBSBOT focuses on the application research of new technologies in the field of videography. It hopes to use revolutionary technology and innovative products to innovate the way of public records and image creation, and to change people's social way.

    The Meet 4 is a tiny (45x36x22.2mm) 4K webcam with a metal alloy housing currently available in 3 colors (space grey, cloud white and aurora green). Inside the tiny body of the Meet 2 OBSBOT has managed to place an 1/2-inch 48MP CMOS sensor which sports a maximum resolution of 3840x2160p (can capture video at 4k@30fps/1080p@60fps with HDR) together with an f/1.8 aperture, 79.4 degrees FOV, 4x digital zoom and a 100-6400 ISO range. The Meet 2 is also equipped with built-in dual omni-directional mics for optimal audio recording (feature noise reduction and auto gain control), universal 1/4" thread, USB-C data port and even an magnetic privacy cover. As expected, the Meet 2 also supports numerous AI features such as auto framing, tracking zones, auto portrait and landscape modes, PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) and even a beauty mode which includes skin retouching, body parts reshaping and several filters. So, time to see just how good the Meet 2 by OBSBOT really is.
