CONCLUSION

    The latest Tiny 2 Lite may fall a bit behind in terms of image quality/detail (especially in low-light conditions) when compared to its higher-end brothers (Tiny 2 / Tail Air) but it's still a very good 4k web camera which not many others can compete with currently (that is under sufficient light conditions). Overall image/video and audio quality is very good (I did encounter some slight issues with the noise reduction feature but nothing I haven’t encountered in the past with similarly priced models), the AI features like auto tracking and auto zoom work as advertised and just as well as with past models and as for the 2-axis gimbal it’s certainly a somewhat unique aspect of the OBSBOT cameras that can be extremely useful, especially for streamers and people who either teach remotely or participate in web conferences (always under normal circumstances, don’t always expect it to respond to very sudden/quick movements). The lack of a bundled hard case is something I really liked about the Tiny 2 so I was hoping the Tiny 2 Lite would also have one in the bundle. Also, for some reason it seems some people online think that OBSBOT bundles the remote control for the Tiny 2 and Tiny 2 Lite which clearly isn’t the case. The remote is extra as I did point out in my review of the Tiny 2, so I have no idea as to the way some people thought otherwise.

    With less than a week until we leave 2024 behind us the Tiny 2 Lite by OBSBOT retails for USD159 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 207.37Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is especially balanced on the other side of the Atlantic. All said and done the Tiny 2 Lite may not be quite as good as its higher-end brothers, but it does deliver as advertised and that along with its balanced price range are more than enough for the Golden Award.
