Obsbot Tiny 2 Lite review
When I had the Obsbot Tiny 2 Lite and Obsbot Meet 2 webcams sat on my desk, I had a feeling I would think the latter was a better choice. Both are 4K quality, which in a webcam is superfluous for most, but the Meet 2 is the cheaper and cuter of the two. However, after some time with both, the Tiny 2 Lite is actually my favourite, and it's not because of its whacky AI enhancements.
At under $200, this feels like a smart camera that just happens to support 4K video support at up to 30 fps. Google Meet, Zoom, and most other conferencing support can only go up to 1080p max and even Discord only supports 4K with a Discord Nitro subscription.
This is assuming you even have the connection to stream that sort of resolution to whoever is on the other side of the call and the recipient has the connection to receive it.
However, I can see a genuine use case if you're a YouTube creator of any kind, and want to use your webcam to take up a decent chunk of the screen rather than just a small corner at the top. If you do cutaway jokes to your face or it takes up a sizable amount of your screen, a 4K webcam can signal quality to a viewer.

The Tiny 2 Lite just so happens to have a whole host of little features that will make it even more enticing. Even if you only plan on using the Tiny 2 Lite in its 1080p, at this price, there are still a few solid reasons to make that upgrade.
Where this came ahead of the pretty great OBSBot Meet 2 for me is its stand. Where the Meet 2 struggles to hold on to the top of a monitor, especially when it's connecting with a thicker USB-C cable, this stand clips on firmly and is strong enough to withstand the gimbal spinning almost all the way around.
Even a shake of the monitor (which I'd
