CONCLUSION
Having already reviewed the Tiny 2 and Tail Air models by OBSBOT I was very interested to see just what the Meet 2 would be capable of and for the most part I was pleasantly surprised. Image quality is very good (even at low light situations), the metal alloy enclosure is light and tiny (so it fits pretty much everywhere) and the features offered by the center software are certainly not something we see with “regular” webcams. Audio quality is perhaps the only issue I had with the Meet 2 since at times it felt as if I was standing 10 meters away from it (although I was like half a meter away). Yes, this didn’t happen a lot (and it can be resolved if you disable auto gain) but still it did surprise me a bit. On the other hand, noise reduction is very effective, so you won’t have to worry about ambient noise becoming an issue (system noise included).
The Meet 2 AI Powered 4K Webcam by OBSBOT was officially released yesterday with a very tempting price tag of USD129/129Euros directly from OBSBOT (taxes excluded). At the end of the day the Meet 2 may fall short compared to the Tiny 2 and the Tail Air models (both of which are considerably more expensive) but it’s still miles ahead compared to most 4K webcams currently in the market and that’s why it deserves the Golden Award.
