PRICE £206 (£247 inc VAT) from store.obsbot.com

Shenzhen-based Obsbot describes the Tiny 4K as an“AI-powered PTZ 4Kwebcam”, and actually delivers on the AI promise. Combined with the pan, tilt, and zoom features that PTZ is short for, it removes many annoyances associated with video calls.

Take something as simple as your position within the frame. Similarly to Apple’s Center Stage, the Tiny 4K is clever enough to follow you as you move around. It doesn’t do it using digital zoom, but by rotating itself on its gimbal so that you can still enjoy a crisp 4K resolution. The only time you lose that is if you zoom in, as this is a digital effect, not an optical one.
