@@45KevinR You can't really compete with an APS-C or full frame camera on image quality alone. It really depends. As a plug and play webcam with quality that 98% of people will think is top notch, this can fit that bill. If you're looking for photographer or studio quality, then you need a large sensor and decent quality optics stack. But those are clunkier to set up, more fidgety and there's no gimbal or autotracking. The proper camera is like a truck and the webcam is like a compact hatchback.

I preferred the color balance of the Lite over the T2. It's a nice 'sort of budget' option. Basically, it's like the price of a good still 4k webcam, but adds a gimbal (the mic isn't great though).

Both are great. If prices are identical, then the Insta360 has a few more features and a slightly sharper image from my tests. It does need a lot more time spent image tuning in my setup and I prefer the tracking speed on the OBSBOTs, but I think the Insta360 is capable of a slightly better picture and since I don't use the tracking often and have consistent lighting, I'd optimize for the image quality.

Image quality is super similar in my opinion. If you don't plan to use the automatic tracking pan tilt zoom, I'd probably go with the MX Brio. If you need the tracking, then I'd get the OBSBOT Tiny 2 LITE tbh, because it's about the same price as the MX Brio and I thought it had a great image, it doesn't do hand tracking for Whiteboard and few other software/firmware tracking features, but has 90% of the Tiny 2 more expensive camera.

@@DeployJeremy thanks for the quick response. I will go with brio MX as I won't be needing the auto tracking.

@@osvaldoverduzco3900 That was my mistake. I had it in my notes, but didn't state the OBSBOT Tiny 2 (not Lite) sensor size verbally, it's 1/1.5". The Insta360 Link is also 1/2".

I'm sorry, you may have received a defective unit. My very first OBSBOT Tiny PTZ 4K was defective, but their aftersales support was really good. I've bought 4 OBSBOT cameras since then and all have been good.

is there any webcam thats better than the iPhones? It doesnt matter the cost

iPhone Pro's especially have incredible cameras. The biggest downside is the convenience of setting them up, mounting them, etc. Your iPhone will create an equal or better quality image imo, but I lose patience myself getting the phone running compared to webcam or mirrorless camera with capture card and dummy battery.

@@DeployJeremy Im considering using it like my main webcam. I would buy anotathrr phone. You think tahts a good idea? Imor do you think theres a better webcam out there?

Yes. I'd start with that, pay the $8 for Epoccam if you haven't yet (because it sounds like you're using it now). Get a separate microphone and see how it goes. If you get serious and do want a noticeable jump in quality, then I'd save up for a Sony ZV-E10 or similar APS-C camera with your preferred lens. I like my Viltrox 24mm F1.4.

@DeployJeremy @cabisports I can help with this. On my iPhone 13 Max, Epocam was pretty good. On my 15 Pro max, its tricky. I don't think they have updated the app for the USB port. I can get it to work but sometimes it acts up. The picture is good but you are locked at 1080p 60fps. It works pretty well though, especially in OBS. I dont want to self promote but my last video was shot 100% with it in OBS. I didn't use LUTs or color correction. Im looking at the Obspot because I lean alot due to health and wind up out of frame. I like the idea of 4K but wish it was 60fps. I think only the elgato facecam pro does that and Im not paying $300 for a webcam. Hope that helps.
