OBSBOT Tiny 4K webcam: An absolute joy to use

The OBSBOT Tiny 4K certainly ranks among the best webcams you can buy, 4K or not, period. It offers so much: 4K video, a 60fps option (albeit at 1080p), and the real magic: an automated gimbal that physically rotates and dips the webcam to center your face. It gets better. The OBSBOT Tiny 4K (sometimes sold as the OBSBOT Tiny PTZ 4K) will soon be supplemented by the Tiny 2, with a larger sensor for improved video (fave.co/3P4eoYj). That should help solve one of the Tiny 4K’s only shortcomings: Video quality is good, just not outstanding. On the other hand, OBSBOT is discounting the Tiny PTZ 4K in anticipation of the Tiny 2’s launch, so you can save a large chunk off of its regular $269.99 MSRP.

The Tiny 4K ships in two pieces: a magnetic mount and the camera assembly itself, packaged together inside a zipped carrying case that OBSBOT provides. OBSBOT also provides the choice between a 4.92ft/1.5m USB-C to USB-C cable, or a USB-C to USB-A cable inside the same box. Just be sure to connect the latter to a USB 3.1 port (as opposed to USB 2.0) to ensure that the webcam has enough power.

The OBSBOT Tiny 4K feels exceptionally well designed, with touches you might not need yet provided anyway. The magnetic mount holds the camera assembly fast, with the folding “jaws” long and pronounced enough to handle even thicker displays. The mount assembly even comes with a small, sticky surface that you can peel off to affix the mount, though you probably won’t need it.

All told, the webcam and its mount measures 5.59 inches tall and 2.28 inches wide and deep. The gimbal and separate mount weigh 0.37lbs together.
