Its biggest strength might be its equally impressive tiny price.

Or do you go for a cheap and cheerful webcam that does the job?
I dont often find myself describing technology as cute but I think it is really fitting here.
The mount itself is impressively robust and provides solid support for the camera to sit on your monitor.
When in use it will silently awaken and use its AI software to frame you perfectly.
I was taken with just how nice the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite actually looks as a product.
It simply looks premium, something which makes that $179 price tag even more attractive.
The integrated AI brings with it clever face-tracking technology, along with your expected auto-focus and auto-exposure options.
But its not just visuals that this webcam targets, as it also includes a dual omnidirectional microphone.
Pairing with the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite is its OBSBOT Center software.

The customization here really highlights just how many features this tiny package includes.
Thankfully, that is not the case - but more on AI in a bit.
The panning movement is smooth and responsive, following you as you move about your space.

This really helped me when streaming as I didnt have to worry about staying in frame the entire time.
If this is a worry, the adjustable speeds of the Insta360 are worth considering instead.
Overall, Im really impressed at the quality that comes with such a compact equipment.

Should you buy the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite?
If I had to give a one-word answer here, Id say: yes.
Unless you’re happy with Full HD, you’ll struggle to find a more affordable option than this.
And thats what it comes down to.
Despite standing at only 2 inches from base to tip, its clear that size doesn’t matter here.
Alongside this, I used the camera for video calls to friends and family in day-to-day life.
