  1. in this video what we're going to be in this video what we're going to be doing is checking out the obsbot Teeny 2 doing is checking out the obsbot Teeny 2 doing is checking out the obsbot Teeny 2 4K webcam this thing is special in a 4K webcam this thing is special in a 4K webcam this thing is special in a couple different ways first it actually couple different ways first it actually couple different ways first it actually has a gimbal on it so you'll be able to has a gimbal on it so you'll be able to has a gimbal on it so you'll be able to move and control it and whatnot just move and control it and whatnot just move and control it and whatnot just like this here and it has AI so it does like this here and it has AI so it does like this here and it has AI so it does tracking you could do hand movements to tracking you could do hand movements to tracking you could do hand movements to zoom and whatnot it has a really cool zoom and whatnot it has a really cool zoom and whatnot it has a really cool feature set they did reach out to feature set they did reach out to feature set they did reach out to sponsor this product demonstration but sponsor this product demonstration but sponsor this product demonstration but there are some negatives that you might there are some negatives that you might there are some negatives that you might want to consider that we'll be talking want to consider that we'll be talking want to consider that we'll be talking about a little bit later first and most about a little bit later first and most about a little bit later first and most important what do you actually get in important what do you actually get in important what do you actually get in this box well you do get this snazzy this box well you do get this snazzy this box well you do get this snazzy little carrying case that you could put little carrying case that you could put little carrying case that you could put the webcam in of course you actually get the webcam in of course you actually get the webcam in of course you actually get the webcam itself you get a USB type-c the webcam itself you get a USB type-c the webcam itself you get a USB type-c cable with a USBC to USB adapter user cable with a USBC to USB adapter user cable with a USBC to USB adapter user manual warranty card we have this rather manual warranty card we have this rather manual warranty card we have this rather snazzy magnetic and adjustable Mount so snazzy magnetic and adjustable Mount so snazzy magnetic and adjustable Mount so you go ahead and pop it onto the back of you go ahead and pop it onto the back of you go ahead and pop it onto the back of your monitor and overall this carrying your monitor and overall this carrying your monitor and overall this carrying case is really handy it fits in there case is really handy it fits in there case is really handy it fits in there real nice looks nice there's some extra real nice looks nice there's some extra real nice looks nice there's some extra storage room for whatever you may need storage room for whatever you may need storage room for whatever you may need and here's is the webcam so if I scroll and here's is the webcam so if I scroll and here's is the webcam so if I scroll down here if you can see some more down here if you can see some more down here if you can see some more information on these sensors and the information on these sensors and the information on these sensors and the frame rates video formats and whatnot it frame rates video formats and whatnot it frame rates video formats and whatnot it is a 50 megapixel camera the aperture of is a 50 megapixel camera the aperture of is a 50 megapixel camera the aperture of 1.9 has a pretty impressive field of 1.9 has a pretty impressive field of 1.9 has a pretty impressive field of view here which we'll see in just a view here which we'll see in just a view here which we'll see in just a moment if we go down we can see it moment if we go down we can see it moment if we go down we can see it supports up to four thousand by three supports up to four thousand by three supports up to four thousand by three thousand pixels this right here is 4K at thousand pixels this right here is 4K at thousand pixels this right here is 4K at either 30 25 24 or lower frame rates but either 30 25 24 or lower frame rates but either 30 25 24 or lower frame rates but if you did drop it down to 1440 or 1080p if you did drop it down to 1440 or 1080p if you did drop it down to 1440 or 1080p it does support up to 60 frames per it does support up to 60 frames per it does support up to 60 frames per second and that's basically the same

  2. second and that's basically the same second and that's basically the same depending on the format you actually depending on the format you actually depending on the format you actually pick and all these formats do show up on pick and all these formats do show up on pick and all these formats do show up on OBS Studio we have up to 4X Zoom it has OBS Studio we have up to 4X Zoom it has OBS Studio we have up to 4X Zoom it has both Auto and manual focus HDR is both Auto and manual focus HDR is both Auto and manual focus HDR is supported this is the thing about the supported this is the thing about the supported this is the thing about the two axes gimbal so if I show it to you two axes gimbal so if I show it to you two axes gimbal so if I show it to you real quick you can kind of see it moving real quick you can kind of see it moving real quick you can kind of see it moving around there this right here is straight around there this right here is straight around there this right here is straight and then it can go all the way almost and then it can go all the way almost and then it can go all the way almost looking back not quite same thing the looking back not quite same thing the looking back not quite same thing the other way and then it can point all the other way and then it can point all the other way and then it can point all the way up or all the way down a cool thing way up or all the way down a cool thing way up or all the way down a cool thing about it is when you put it into sleep about it is when you put it into sleep about it is when you put it into sleep mode it will actually face down so you mode it will actually face down so you mode it will actually face down so you don't have to pull a Zuckerberg and have don't have to pull a Zuckerberg and have don't have to pull a Zuckerberg and have a sticker on your webcam it has some a sticker on your webcam it has some a sticker on your webcam it has some microphone recording we'll be testing microphone recording we'll be testing microphone recording we'll be testing that out it is a 5 volt power and these that out it is a 5 volt power and these that out it is a 5 volt power and these are your system requirements Linux is are your system requirements Linux is are your system requirements Linux is not listed here it technically does work not listed here it technically does work not listed here it technically does work but there's some quirks and whatnot that but there's some quirks and whatnot that but there's some quirks and whatnot that I'll talk about in a minute and of I'll talk about in a minute and of I'll talk about in a minute and of course they have their application now course they have their application now course they have their application now we're going to go ahead and demonstrate we're going to go ahead and demonstrate we're going to go ahead and demonstrate this product let's see how good it this product let's see how good it this product let's see how good it actually is I've already installed the actually is I've already installed the actually is I've already installed the software upgraded the firmware so here software upgraded the firmware so here software upgraded the firmware so here it is and then I will bring it in right it is and then I will bring it in right it is and then I will bring it in right here notes the picture and picture that here notes the picture and picture that here notes the picture and picture that you're seeing now is not yet the webcam you're seeing now is not yet the webcam you're seeing now is not yet the webcam the device is sleeping it's pointing the device is sleeping it's pointing the device is sleeping it's pointing straight down and you could actually straight down and you could actually straight down and you could actually manually interfere with it so if I manually interfere with it so if I manually interfere with it so if I lifted it up that would wake the device lifted it up that would wake the device lifted it up that would wake the device so as you can see it just woke up so so as you can see it just woke up so so as you can see it just woke up so actually touching it and moving it actually touching it and moving it actually touching it and moving it around isn't going to negatively impact around isn't going to negatively impact around isn't going to negatively impact it now to actually see it here if I go it now to actually see it here if I go it now to actually see it here if I go right here to video preview there it is right here to video preview there it is right here to video preview there it is there's my video preview I can see my there's my video preview I can see my there's my video preview I can see my audio here I could do some things audio here I could do some things audio here I could do some things through here if I would like to you can through here if I would like to you can through here if I would like to you can see some of my formats so I have 4K 1080 see some of my formats so I have 4K 1080 see some of my formats so I have 4K 1080 and so forth if I switched it over to 4K

  3. and so forth if I switched it over to 4K and so forth if I switched it over to 4K very crisp footage all right so there we very crisp footage all right so there we very crisp footage all right so there we go now without any configuring you can go now without any configuring you can go now without any configuring you can see the difference between this right see the difference between this right see the difference between this right here and this camera here the camera I'm here and this camera here the camera I'm here and this camera here the camera I'm normally recording with is the Canon n50 normally recording with is the Canon n50 normally recording with is the Canon n50 and this is the oh it's bot 2. now a and this is the oh it's bot 2. now a and this is the oh it's bot 2. now a really cool thing and a major selling really cool thing and a major selling really cool thing and a major selling feature of this camera is the fact that feature of this camera is the fact that feature of this camera is the fact that it has motion tracking so if I go over it has motion tracking so if I go over it has motion tracking so if I go over here under the AI human tracking here under the AI human tracking here under the AI human tracking standard right now is nothing and I have standard right now is nothing and I have standard right now is nothing and I have nothing selected but if I selected nothing selected but if I selected nothing selected but if I selected motion and I go to normal tracking then motion and I go to normal tracking then motion and I go to normal tracking then it will begin to track me so if I were it will begin to track me so if I were it will begin to track me so if I were to go back to go back to go back if I were to stand up if I were to stand up if I were to stand up go over here go over here go over here Maybe Maybe Maybe go over here it is going to follow me go over here it is going to follow me go over here it is going to follow me around and it's a mechanical mechanism around and it's a mechanical mechanism around and it's a mechanical mechanism and not a zoom mechanism like you'd see and not a zoom mechanism like you'd see and not a zoom mechanism like you'd see on a Apple's webcams for example and of on a Apple's webcams for example and of on a Apple's webcams for example and of course there are some other features I course there are some other features I course there are some other features I could do upper body specifically if I could do upper body specifically if I could do upper body specifically if I would like to which will focus on that would like to which will focus on that would like to which will focus on that instead of like my head instead of like my head instead of like my head for some reason you could do headless for some reason you could do headless for some reason you could do headless tracking if you would like to tracking if you would like to tracking if you would like to um I'm not gonna think too hard about um I'm not gonna think too hard about um I'm not gonna think too hard about the specific use case for that but we'll the specific use case for that but we'll the specific use case for that but we'll uh we'll get out of that real quick uh we'll get out of that real quick uh we'll get out of that real quick it'll adjust itself right back to kind it'll adjust itself right back to kind it'll adjust itself right back to kind of standard how it was now of course of standard how it was now of course of standard how it was now of course there's other options there's close-up there's other options there's close-up there's other options there's close-up tracking we have lower body tracking tracking we have lower body tracking tracking we have lower body tracking which again is going to take me down which again is going to take me down which again is going to take me down here probably not the best view that you here probably not the best view that you here probably not the best view that you guys want to get but it's going to

  4. guys want to get but it's going to guys want to get but it's going to automatically adjust itself now ai modes automatically adjust itself now ai modes automatically adjust itself now ai modes this is really cool I mentioned to the this is really cool I mentioned to the this is really cool I mentioned to the kind of apple webcams earlier they have kind of apple webcams earlier they have kind of apple webcams earlier they have this feature where you can do that desk this feature where you can do that desk this feature where you can do that desk down View and this is going to be able down View and this is going to be able down View and this is going to be able to do that for you so if I go ahead and to do that for you so if I go ahead and to do that for you so if I go ahead and click on desk mode it's going to pause click on desk mode it's going to pause click on desk mode it's going to pause me real quick and then here we go this me real quick and then here we go this me real quick and then here we go this is desk mode now it's I don't have the is desk mode now it's I don't have the is desk mode now it's I don't have the camera camera camera necessarily at the best angle if I'm to necessarily at the best angle if I'm to necessarily at the best angle if I'm to tilt this a little bit it will look much tilt this a little bit it will look much tilt this a little bit it will look much better and there we go so this is desk better and there we go so this is desk better and there we go so this is desk mode and it looks like it's kind of a mode and it looks like it's kind of a mode and it looks like it's kind of a top down shot here here of my keyboard I top down shot here here of my keyboard I top down shot here here of my keyboard I could type I could show you all what's could type I could show you all what's could type I could show you all what's going on this is my stream deck and I going on this is my stream deck and I going on this is my stream deck and I could like pull out my phone or could like pull out my phone or could like pull out my phone or something and use this to actually get a something and use this to actually get a something and use this to actually get a fairly decent shot of something that I fairly decent shot of something that I fairly decent shot of something that I want it to look down on now if I click want it to look down on now if I click want it to look down on now if I click on desk mode again it's going to go out on desk mode again it's going to go out on desk mode again it's going to go out of that eventually maybe pan up if I of that eventually maybe pan up if I of that eventually maybe pan up if I enable normal tracking kind of put enable normal tracking kind of put enable normal tracking kind of put myself in there it will follow me back myself in there it will follow me back myself in there it will follow me back up to where it needs to be there's other up to where it needs to be there's other up to where it needs to be there's other AI mode things we have whiteboard hand AI mode things we have whiteboard hand AI mode things we have whiteboard hand and group if I do hand for example it's and group if I do hand for example it's and group if I do hand for example it's going to track your hand now it's on my going to track your hand now it's on my going to track your hand now it's on my left hand which is this one left hand which is this one left hand which is this one and this is really good this whole and this is really good this whole and this is really good this whole webcam is really good if let's say webcam is really good if let's say webcam is really good if let's say you're a teacher or something and you're you're a teacher or something and you're you're a teacher or something and you're trying to do a presentation you want it trying to do a presentation you want it trying to do a presentation you want it to follow your hands while you point at to follow your hands while you point at to follow your hands while you point at things that is a really good use case things that is a really good use case things that is a really good use case for it I'm going to go back into normal for it I'm going to go back into normal for it I'm going to go back into normal tracking so it kind of sensor centers me tracking so it kind of sensor centers me tracking so it kind of sensor centers me out here and then of course we have the out here and then of course we have the out here and then of course we have the viewing Gimbal and our Zoom so I can

  5. viewing Gimbal and our Zoom so I can viewing Gimbal and our Zoom so I can manually move this around let's go ahead manually move this around let's go ahead manually move this around let's go ahead and disable normal tracking go back to and disable normal tracking go back to and disable normal tracking go back to standard and here I could just kind of standard and here I could just kind of standard and here I could just kind of play with this and adjust this however I play with this and adjust this however I play with this and adjust this however I want for a particular shot here we go want for a particular shot here we go want for a particular shot here we go and I could have it automatically Center and I could have it automatically Center and I could have it automatically Center me if I just do normal tracking it'll me if I just do normal tracking it'll me if I just do normal tracking it'll kind of figure that out and put me right kind of figure that out and put me right kind of figure that out and put me right to where I need to be and of course we to where I need to be and of course we to where I need to be and of course we have zoom so have zoom so have zoom so this is the manual zoom so if I'm to this is the manual zoom so if I'm to this is the manual zoom so if I'm to kind of crank this in you can see it kind of crank this in you can see it kind of crank this in you can see it going in on my face and we'll go back going in on my face and we'll go back going in on my face and we'll go back out now this is the normal shot if I out now this is the normal shot if I out now this is the normal shot if I click on the wide here that is where click on the wide here that is where click on the wide here that is where we're at I could go medium which will we're at I could go medium which will we're at I could go medium which will bring us in just a little bit or I could bring us in just a little bit or I could bring us in just a little bit or I could go narrow which will bring us in about go narrow which will bring us in about go narrow which will bring us in about here now of course that is not it that's here now of course that is not it that's here now of course that is not it that's not all we have we have image over here not all we have we have image over here not all we have we have image over here so we could change some really specific so we could change some really specific so we could change some really specific things about what's going on and a lot things about what's going on and a lot things about what's going on and a lot of these options especially on Linux are of these options especially on Linux are of these options especially on Linux are going to be available to you within OBS going to be available to you within OBS going to be available to you within OBS when you're on Windows you're going to when you're on Windows you're going to when you're on Windows you're going to want to mess with them here and then want to mess with them here and then want to mess with them here and then head over to OBS so we have the isos how head over to OBS so we have the isos how head over to OBS so we have the isos how much a light is allowed in we have our much a light is allowed in we have our much a light is allowed in we have our shutter speed so if I'm at 4K 30 the shutter speed so if I'm at 4K 30 the shutter speed so if I'm at 4K 30 the actual best shutter speed I believe actual best shutter speed I believe actual best shutter speed I believe would be 1 over 60. so there we go would be 1 over 60. so there we go would be 1 over 60. so there we go that's technically what the best shutter that's technically what the best shutter that's technically what the best shutter speed is for this resolution with that I speed is for this resolution with that I speed is for this resolution with that I would want to increase the iso just a would want to increase the iso just a would want to increase the iso just a little bit and we are getting a pretty little bit and we are getting a pretty little bit and we are getting a pretty good picture out of this if I put it off good picture out of this if I put it off good picture out of this if I put it off to the side where this camera currently to the side where this camera currently to the side where this camera currently is it wouldn't look too far different is it wouldn't look too far different is it wouldn't look too far different actually for Giggles let's go ahead and actually for Giggles let's go ahead and actually for Giggles let's go ahead and do that this one will be the webcam will do that this one will be the webcam will do that this one will be the webcam will be a little bit lower so there we go now

  6. be a little bit lower so there we go now be a little bit lower so there we go now I can kind of mirror one and switch in I can kind of mirror one and switch in I can kind of mirror one and switch in between the two so this right here is between the two so this right here is between the two so this right here is the Canon DSLR and this right here is the Canon DSLR and this right here is the Canon DSLR and this right here is the webcam it's still a little uh kind the webcam it's still a little uh kind the webcam it's still a little uh kind of washed out a bit so if I do go and of washed out a bit so if I do go and of washed out a bit so if I do go and mess with that first we'll lower the mess with that first we'll lower the mess with that first we'll lower the sharpness a bit make it so you can't see sharpness a bit make it so you can't see sharpness a bit make it so you can't see my blackheads as well we have our white my blackheads as well we have our white my blackheads as well we have our white balance here so I can manually adjust balance here so I can manually adjust balance here so I can manually adjust this if I would like to that 6000 Kelvin this if I would like to that 6000 Kelvin this if I would like to that 6000 Kelvin I can make it a little more blue like I can make it a little more blue like I can make it a little more blue like that and then if I want to make this a that and then if I want to make this a that and then if I want to make this a little less green over here I would then little less green over here I would then little less green over here I would then begin messing with the Hue now for our begin messing with the Hue now for our begin messing with the Hue now for our Focus we have Auto if I disable auto we Focus we have Auto if I disable auto we Focus we have Auto if I disable auto we have so you can see it's blurry now so have so you can see it's blurry now so have so you can see it's blurry now so by default let's get this little guy see by default let's get this little guy see by default let's get this little guy see where it's focused at I mean right there where it's focused at I mean right there where it's focused at I mean right there it looks pretty good and of course I it looks pretty good and of course I it looks pretty good and of course I could play with this a little bit if I could play with this a little bit if I could play with this a little bit if I would like to so you can see boom now would like to so you can see boom now would like to so you can see boom now that's almost perfectly focused and then that's almost perfectly focused and then that's almost perfectly focused and then I can manually focus on my I can manually focus on my I can manually focus on my self if I would like to right about self if I would like to right about self if I would like to right about there looks roughly okay if I really there looks roughly okay if I really there looks roughly okay if I really want to figure out I'd want to zoom in want to figure out I'd want to zoom in want to figure out I'd want to zoom in Focus zoom out go through that whole Focus zoom out go through that whole Focus zoom out go through that whole process but for now I do not think I'm process but for now I do not think I'm process but for now I do not think I'm going to I am going to move this back going to I am going to move this back going to I am going to move this back though just like that track it on myself though just like that track it on myself though just like that track it on myself real fast and looking good real fast and looking good real fast and looking good gonna pop auto back on there we go gonna pop auto back on there we go gonna pop auto back on there we go and you have Global face so you have a and you have Global face so you have a and you have Global face so you have a lot of control here there are some lot of control here there are some lot of control here there are some filters I personally won't be using any of these I personally won't be using any of these the most I ever kind of filter myself is the most I ever kind of filter myself is the most I ever kind of filter myself is with some color correction and I got a with some color correction and I got a with some color correction and I got a big head let's see what that what this big head let's see what that what this big head let's see what that what this does oh shrink my head I could turn into does oh shrink my head I could turn into does oh shrink my head I could turn into a a a hassanabe with this filter I mean that's

  7. hassanabe with this filter I mean that's hassanabe with this filter I mean that's kind of cool if you're real kind of cool if you're real kind of cool if you're real self-conscious about something self-conscious about something self-conscious about something legs flaky body slam I don't know and legs flaky body slam I don't know and legs flaky body slam I don't know and then we have like Instagram filters here then we have like Instagram filters here then we have like Instagram filters here if that's your fancy however we got more if that's your fancy however we got more if that's your fancy however we got more we have device sleep Auto sleep after we have device sleep Auto sleep after we have device sleep Auto sleep after two minutes and that will automatically two minutes and that will automatically two minutes and that will automatically kind of Point down so then there's not a kind of Point down so then there's not a kind of Point down so then there's not a chance of like chance of like chance of like somebody getting into it and seeing your somebody getting into it and seeing your somebody getting into it and seeing your webcam you can set a custom sleep webcam you can set a custom sleep webcam you can set a custom sleep background if you want to and here is background if you want to and here is background if you want to and here is gesture control so there's a bunch of gesture control so there's a bunch of gesture control so there's a bunch of different gestures and stuff that you different gestures and stuff that you different gestures and stuff that you could learn but the primarily one or the could learn but the primarily one or the could learn but the primarily one or the primary one is the locked Target so to primary one is the locked Target so to primary one is the locked Target so to turn off and on human tracking I believe turn off and on human tracking I believe turn off and on human tracking I believe it is this so now it will track me it is this so now it will track me it is this so now it will track me and if I did this again I'm actually and if I did this again I'm actually and if I did this again I'm actually getting some feedback the light flickers getting some feedback the light flickers getting some feedback the light flickers and then you can see it's no longer and then you can see it's no longer and then you can see it's no longer tracking me now zooming I believe it's tracking me now zooming I believe it's tracking me now zooming I believe it's like this like this like this and then if I go like that and then if I go like that and then if I go like that look at that zoom's mirror super cool look at that zoom's mirror super cool look at that zoom's mirror super cool stuff stuff stuff so again hey whoa so again hey whoa so again hey whoa there we go so again that's really good there we go so again that's really good there we go so again that's really good if you're like trying to get like a if you're like trying to get like a if you're like trying to get like a class presentation you're really far class presentation you're really far class presentation you're really far away from the webcam and this also away from the webcam and this also away from the webcam and this also offers where is it the quite Frank I offers where is it the quite Frank I offers where is it the quite Frank I haven't used it but there's a little haven't used it but there's a little haven't used it but there's a little remote control here that you could get remote control here that you could get remote control here that you could get here just for Giggles let's go into here just for Giggles let's go into here just for Giggles let's go into our desk mode you can see this remote our desk mode you can see this remote our desk mode you can see this remote you have options for some of your you have options for some of your you have options for some of your presets for the zones and other presets presets for the zones and other presets presets for the zones and other presets you have this to be able to move around you have this to be able to move around you have this to be able to move around right here are some Zoom buttons right here are some Zoom buttons right here are some Zoom buttons and then you have other buttons here

  8. and then you have other buttons here and then you have other buttons here such as your track close up and hand such as your track close up and hand such as your track close up and hand tracking so now normal tracking and it tracking so now normal tracking and it tracking so now normal tracking and it should pick up on my face there we go should pick up on my face there we go should pick up on my face there we go okay and I mentioned that there are some okay and I mentioned that there are some okay and I mentioned that there are some cons and the cons are to do with Linux cons and the cons are to do with Linux cons and the cons are to do with Linux cool thing about it is you plug it in cool thing about it is you plug it in cool thing about it is you plug it in you have all these controls built into you have all these controls built into you have all these controls built into OBS not so cool thing that I haven't OBS not so cool thing that I haven't OBS not so cool thing that I haven't been able to figure out is for some been able to figure out is for some been able to figure out is for some reason when you do the first connection reason when you do the first connection reason when you do the first connection it like the gimbal shoots itself up into it like the gimbal shoots itself up into it like the gimbal shoots itself up into the side you can manually kind of move the side you can manually kind of move the side you can manually kind of move it back or just grab it and mess with it it back or just grab it and mess with it it back or just grab it and mess with it to put it back where it needs to be but to put it back where it needs to be but to put it back where it needs to be but that's just one thing to consider oh we that's just one thing to consider oh we that's just one thing to consider oh we forgot to do an audio test so this is forgot to do an audio test so this is forgot to do an audio test so this is our audio recording test our audio recording test our audio recording test now wonderful but but still pretty good now wonderful but but still pretty good now wonderful but but still pretty good nonetheless if you're going to want to nonetheless if you're going to want to nonetheless if you're going to want to sound really good you're going to want sound really good you're going to want sound really good you're going to want some sort of microphone if you're some sort of microphone if you're some sort of microphone if you're interested in purchasing it there will interested in purchasing it there will interested in purchasing it there will be a link down below and with all that I be a link down below and with all that I be a link down below and with all that I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful do hope you have an absolutely beautiful do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day and good bye
