OBSBOT - Meet 2-4K

OBSBOT Meet 2 or Insta360 Link 2 / Insta360 Link 2C - these should be better I think. You can compare them though and purchase what you like the most. Edit: I've seen you have the OBSBOT Meet 2 in the pics. I recommend that the most among the pics.

I’ve just got the Obsbot Meet 2 4K and used it for the first time today. Overall seems very good, excellent quality. The face tracking seems a little laggy and doesn’t always initiate but no big deal because I don’t move around much. Autofocus seems to get stuck for a short while before it snaps back. It seems to be defaulted to 1080 @ 30 so had to change it in settings but it hasn’t switched back. The first attempt at a firmware update failed but the second attempt worked fine. I have it connected to my monitor which is connected to my Mac with a single USB C and it works great. It’s absolutely tiny and looks great. The magnetic mount is good and it’s nice to be able to just pick it up and move around. The manual lens cap is a little annoying and is strong enough to pull it off the mount if you don’t use two hands to remove it. Overall for the price, I’m really happy and would recommend.

Osbot 2 is a better cam. This is the 4k version at under 150. [https://amzn.to/4dbA2nm](https://amzn.to/4dbA2nm) If you can accept HD the SE is under 65. Really really good IQ imho and 100 fps. Both have Ai framing and gesture control.

I'm using the OBSBot Meet 2 which is relatively new. I'm a big fan of the cam which has a big sensor. A big sensor means more light, more light means you don't have to use a big light for your stream. That's a win for me. Maybe it's for you.

Obsbot meet 2 is perfect "budget" ($130) option.

Leave it to Reddit to have one comment get me to buy both the mag2 and the obsbot meet 2 😱

I’ve had one since last October. It’s incredible. It’s way overkill. I use it for work calls, streaming, and recording myself doing various stuff. Would I have bought it? Probably not, but it was an anniversary gift from my wife. It’s a great camera, and honestly now I don’t see the need to upgrade to a mirrorless camera at any point in the future. I stream in 1080p downscaled to 720p for Twitch, but recording is done in 2k or 4k and it looks great. I have a C920 as a secondary camera. The Tiny 2 is a massive improvement over the C920 in the same lighting setup at the same resolution. But the C920 still looks good.

I have that Obsbot Meet 2 you included. It's fantastic.

Hi - Co-founder of PlexiCam here! Here's a somewhat old but still quite relevant thread comparing options: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Zoom/comments/rrq7a1/any\_webcam\_experiences\_with\_center\_cam\_or\_plexicam/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Zoom/comments/rrq7a1/any_webcam_experiences_with_center_cam_or_plexicam/) And for redditors, here's a link to apply a discount: [https://www.plexicam.com/discount/REDDITORS](https://www.plexicam.com/discount/REDDITORS) Our newest model is Mag2, which we crowdfunded to nearly $100k and launched in December 2024: [https://www.plexicam.com/products/mag2](https://www.plexicam.com/products/mag2) Highly recommend a Mag2 plus any of the very small \*and\* high quality 4K webcams now available, like the OBSBOT Meet 2. /Dan

I use OBS as the streaming software and an Obsbot Meet 2 webcam. It plugs in with USB to your PC and, if you could get OBS to work, you could capture your game and your webcam simultaneously, stream or record, and the file would save already synced up with the visuals laid out however you want. There are a lot of tutorials on YT for how to do it. Mic isn't the best, but no camera mic is. Don't know what you're doing for a mic, but I'd say it's more important than the webcam. I've been really happy with my FDUCE SL40, also just plugs in with USB and is ready to go, sounds good.

I’ve been trying to figure this out myself. There are so many opinions out there but I wanted something a bit more concrete, so I ended up buying 30 webcams (I’m serious 😂) and tested them all myself. For around the $150 mark I’d probably recommend the OBSBOT Meet 2 - I was genuinely impressed with how it looked right out of the box. You could also consider the Insta360 Link 2C or the Tiny 2 Lite if you want a gimbal (not really that useful for my needs tho). If you’re curious, I made a video covering all my testing: https://youtu.be/R0Lsrv8oOOk

I was in exactly the same boat as you and struggled getting a convincing recommendation. After lots of testing, I’d probably recommend the Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra if you’re really looking for the best image quality and you can put up with some quirks (the auto focus is a bit annoying; I just have it manually set). The OBSBOT Meet 2 was also pretty impressive to me. If you’re curious, I made a video that covers all my webcam testing: https://youtu.be/R0Lsrv8oOOk

Beat entry camera is the OBSBOT Meet2! 4k@30 and 1080p@60! Looks great in low light! It's tiny! And it's only $120! I use it for my drum recordings! 😎

c920 have always been the good ol' stream cam because it was cheap and decent quality at the time, but you have to keep in mind it's still a 30fps cam, which makes her qualities fade away in the current age of streaming. If you're on a budget, probably you can do is something like a Razer Kiyo, and stepping it up without going too high in price is something like a Logitech Streamcam or OBSBOT Meet. From here, the best you can do if price isn't a problem is having an actual camera and a capture card like Cam Link 4k others mentioned here (Canon cameras can actually work as webcams without capture card, which is nice if you want to save some money).

I used it is awful and always crashes on my mac and PC

Yeah not sure why it crashes for me I was really excited about it

I have the OBSbot and the thing is very very good. Highly recommend

I absolutely LOVE my OBSbot webcam

Obsbot Webcam and thank me later

Whatever you do, don’t get the brio. I’d lean towards the OBSbot. It’s the same price as the Facecam MkII, and yeah you’ll only be streaming at 1080p, but the image will be that much sharper if your face cam is ever full screen if you’re running the webcam at 4k. The downside is, it’s only 30 fps so you’ll get a lot of motion blur unless you can change the shutter speed. If all you want is 1080p60, the Mk II is a fine choice and opens up the camera hub software for you which is a great piece of software.

On sale, I’m sure it’s fine. But the OBSbot looks better in my opinion, and for the the same price as the Facecam. It’s also on sale for $10-15 off pretty often. But again, it’s just my opinion.

The brio is pretty good for its price. Make sure you get the one you have shown here if you choose brio. The newer one is honestly worse quality in terms of picture. I would not get the egato facecam unless you can get the pro, which is significantly more expensive but has insanely good picture quality for a webcam. Its almost indistinguishable from an actual DSLR. I'd say the obsbot is probably a little bit better than the brio in quality. The c922 that people are suggesting is markedly worse than any of these choices and despite what people tell you, lighting is not going to fix that. You're going to want good lighting for any camera you use.

A good webam alternative is the OBSBOT. It is super powerful with 4k resolution and you can turn the tracking off!

OBSBOT also has it's included auto framing software, I get compliments all the time. Solid investment, goes the distance.
