This is amazing technology and I think it is a glimpse into what future cameras will be capable of. While it is not always perfect, especially in low light conditions, the overall performance of the OBSBOT is none the less impressive. It does get confused and ends up switching back and forth between different players. While it did a pretty good job, it won’t track a single individual player in a group with perfect success. I took the OBSBOT down to a local outdoor basketball court to see how it performed. Does it have manual video controls?įor single individuals, and groups of people who are all on the same focal plane it works well, but if you try and film a group of people where they are moving towards or away from the camera it will get confused. This is handy as it is very easy to forget to put a Micro SD card back into your device if you are in a hurry. In a nice touch, if you don’t have a Micro SD card in the OBSBOT Tail it will make a beeping noise. You can change the default resolution in the settings on the app or just directly take the 4K UHD video from the Micro SD card. The company has done this to avoid videos taking up large amounts of storage space on your phone. If you capture 4K UHD videos and you then directly download them from the album to your phone, the default resolution is only 720p by default. The best compromise between resolution and bitrate is probably going to be to shoot in 2.7K at 24/25/30p where it will record at 50Mbps. When shooting in 24/45/30p in 4K UHD the bitrate only increases to 60Mbps. The lowest bitrate is when you are shooting in HD 24/25/30p where the bitrate is around 40Mbps. From my testing here is what I found out: Now as this is a variable bit rate codec these figures will change depending on the shot, resolution, and frame rate. The 80Mbps isn’t quite as high as the 100Mbps that the DJI OSMO Pocket is capable of when shooting 4K UHD 60p (Fine Mode). The maximum bitrate is 80Mbps, which while not overly impressive, is fairly common for a consumer product. The video recordings are captured in MP4 HEVC 4.2.0 codec in an ITU-R BT.709 color space to Micro SD (Class 10 and above), or UHS-1 cards up to 128GB in capacity.
