Tail Air

Yes I have the tail air as well, but it's quality doesn't compare to the S3

When comparing the Tail2 to previous models like the Tiny4k and Tiny2, the most noticeable difference is the size, which is justified by all the features it has, like its excellent optical zoom and the possibility of switching to vertical format without it being a limiting factor in movement (mind blowing to me!) What is a feature that it has that you guys would have wanted to be present on all cameras from the start, if the technology was available at the time?

Obsbot tail/tiny can spin all the way around and they're USBC so you can get however long a cord you want. At least one of them is wireless too so even more mobility

You can often find the obsbot tiny used for around $60 and it has built-in microphones

Yeah to go on what you're saying, start out with just basic equipment and feel it out. Also the XLR mics and stuff are nice but start out with a USB mic because with filters in OBS it can sound amazing. Camera wise There is the OBSBOT 4k camera which is honestly amazing value for money.

I use both the OBSBOT 4k and Insta360 4k and both are great. Getting some basic lighting set up will go along way as well.

The Insta360 I use at work in my office which I keep on the dim side and it still looks great. I use the OBSBOT at home in my music studio which I film in dark but with a key light on my face and it works great.

I use an OBSBot webcam (https://www.obsbot.com/store) - i love it

Similar to SWTAW-624 that responded as well, I use soft (multiple) lighting around and do minimal changes within the software (mostly just zoom level adjustments and making sure it doesn't randomly focus on something odd or zoom in very fast on something OR respond to my hand gestures likes waves or explanations). I am also an online ESL teacher so i'm literally using it all the time.

Look into the OBSBOT webcams cause the meet se i have and it looks so dam good for $60
