For someone who's alway on the go, I'd want a device that's got a larger sensor which Obsbot Tiny 2 has. The contrast and lighting are very much manageable with Obsbot giving me perfect visuals every time.

Thanks for this comparison, I've been looking at getting a decent PTZ webcam, and your thoughts really helped me with my own scoring!

Professional comparison, your fan from EGYPT, greetings ❤

Can't go wrong. These things are so good

My insta 360 link does have a dely in voice when i record using the controller not sure if anyone had that issue?

Hi, quick question. I livestream my daughters swim meets & we currently use cheap webcams with OBS on a pc. Do you think either of these cameras would have depth of field to focus on the whole pool? I am looking to upgrade the cameras but this would be top of our current budget. Just wondering if they stay focused out far enough for the pool. Thanks

Image quality is far way better with Obsbot Tiny 2 than the Insta360.

The software offers a wide range of shooting modes, allowing users to explore their creativity and capture unique shots effortlessly. Whether it's following an object, circling a subject, or creating dynamic time-lapse sequences, Obsbot Tiny 2 software has it covered.

I've got both, too. I think the Insta360 has a sharper image over the Obsbot 4k Tiny and the Obsbot has a smaller tool set for adjusting your image manually - for example I can't choose a 1/60 shutter speed, Obsbot has a baked in 1/40 and 1/80, I think. Not ideal for shooting 4k 30fps video, whereas the Insta360 works fine. I also think the Obsbot's color tuning is a bit off, it looks yellower at 5400K than the Insta360, but I can tune that a bit by fiddling with the settings.
ETA - I see you discovered the shutter speed issue!

I gotta give it to you for a really excellent presentation of the 2 cameras side-by-side. But I didn’t see what you saw in autofocus and the (yeah, non-ideal) mics. The Insta won the audio as slightly less muddy, also focused faster in your examples. And, ironically, I preferred the less yellow auto-color balance in the Osbot (in the first half. Somehow, that color advantage went to Insta in the 2nd half! Off)
So… I’m happy with my Insta, but the Osbot is a serious alternative. Both are so much better than the previous generation of cameras you can’t lose buying either.

Thank you for this comparative review! If 60 fps is a big deal I guess the Insta360 is better (for avoiding blur when in motion)?

[ChengeerLee]

Listened on iPad mini. Audio - point goes to Insta. You can hear the background noise on Tiny2. On insta the noise cancellation is working. Price - in Canada obsbot is 100$ is more expensive. Bought the insta, we shall see. Thanks for the review. You might be the only one who mad the comparison. Cheers🎉

Because of a really specific use case, I need to move with the camera real time. How is the stabilization if any?

[joerama]

TY for the comprison. IMO, the auto-leveling feature of the Insta360 is a (the?) key feature that the Obsbot does not have (hardware). OTOH, I wish the Insta360 had the blur background feature (software). With luck, Insta360 will add blur background feature. The killer feature I want for the Insta360 (next generation) is standalone battery powered recording to an SD card… for vlog et al. (i.e., no need for computer). Perhaps wishful thinking, but there’s a Kickstarter for such a camera, so I hope Insta360 is working along those lines too. Again, the auto-leveling would be grand for standalone/vlogging use… and vlogs typically want the background to be visible, so the lack of background blue would be a non-issue.

I feel like the Obsbot is either focused on the boom arm or the T-Shirt, which is making the Insta360 Link give a better image quality on the face. Your beard is significantly sharper on the Insta360.

[JasonActualization]

If I sync the sound in the very beginning with a clap, footage from my Insta360 Link, and the .wav from my audio interface, both recorded in OBS, why after an hour of straight recording, is the video an entire second or more ahead of the sound (the lack of synchronization worsens the longer the recording)?

[windofsuns]

which Camera is better with the Desk Mode? I think both have it, right?

[CreateNowSleepLater]

My issue with the insta is the privacy concerns with all the stuff they collect and send to China. Is there anything with the software for the Obsbot like that?

[Engineer_Filippov]

Я не понимаю, как это работает, парни! Изображение Insta 360 link явно чётче выглядит. Волосы на голове и борода прорисованы гораздо лучше. Может это sharp, может чуть большее фокусное расстояние, но факт остаётся фактом.
Также мне показалось, что у OBSBOT фокус был на микрофоне, а у Insta 360 link - на лице. Возможно в это дело.
Далее. Возможность настроить передаточную функцию у Insta 360, это очень круто. Насколько я понимаю, у OBSBOT этого нет.
Зато у OBSBOT есть передача несжатого FullHD по USB 3.0, но об этом автор не сказал ни слова.

I really dislike the price fixing on Amazon UK for the Obsbot Tiny 2. Some days it is selling for £236 and then it goes up to £329 that is more than £100 difference ($126 US dollars). Governments needs to stop this manipulation. Does Amazon in the US do the same?
