This is a great webcam. It's got good quality video, it's easy to setup, and most importantly it doesn't hide any settings from you.
Tell me, what's easier?...
Setting the zoom to hide any clutter you have in your room, or cleaning up the clutter?
Setting the white balance, or repainting your room so the camera doesn't get confused?
Setting the camera's iso, or setting up studio lights?
Most other cameras hide these important settings from you because they don't want to "confuse" you. But what they're really doing is forcing you to adjust -to the camera-. But not the Obsbot Meet, it gives you all the settings you need to adjust the camera -to you-.
There are, however, a few minor drawbacks:
1- The camera gets warm, even while in "sleep" mode. This means it's drawing a bit of power.
2- The microphone isn't the best, but it's not the worst either.
3- When I first plugged it in, it took 20 minutes to update the firmware
4- It uses a USB 2 connection. Meaning, all your video will be compressed, and there is an ever so slight delay. Still, it doesn't look bad.
5- I couldn't get the auto-tracking working. It just zoomed out to maximum.
When I got it, I thought I'd use the HDR mode, but then didn't. If you don't want to go through careful setup HDR does make it a little easier, but if you play with it a little, you'll get better results without it, meaning the HDR probably isn't the best (but it's not bad).
I don't know much about photography, but the interface made it easier enough to figure everything out.
I find it a little ironic that OBS is a program most streamers use, called "Open Broadcast Software." It's used crop, tweak, and color correct. But this "OBS"-bot camera includes enough of that on it's own so that you don't have to use OBS.
It's smaller than I expected. I'm guessing it's only as big as it needs to be. I like the look of it a lot. Stylish without drawing attention to itself. And the attachable privacy flap is great, since you don't have to worry about losing it.
