There is a crap ton of light in the room, I bought the Emeet Nova 4K, advertised as 4K on Amazon, just plugged it in, its garbage sending it back. The OBSBOT Tail Air was nice but expensive for the SRT wireless not working well, so returned it, any recomendations on next camera to try? I was using my iPhone I liked using my iPhone 4K but the app to send the signal is crap, but not I have USB I could try to usb cam it?

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.
