Live streaming and video conferencing have become an integral part of daily work and life. Creators' requirements for equipment have shifted from "just being able to shoot" to "professionally going live anytime, anywhere."

However, common solutions in the current market all have their own shortcomings: Mobile phone live streaming is prone to overheating and frequency reduction, and it's impossible to have flexible multi - camera setups; Traditional webcams generally have poor image quality, slow focusing, and lack intelligent tracking; Although DSLRs with capture cards offer good image quality, the entire set of equipment is bulky and requires complex power supply and streaming settings, making it difficult to use immediately in mobile scenarios.

This market gap between "professional image quality" and "extreme portability" is increasingly regarded as a new opportunity point by more and more equipment manufacturers.

On April 9th, OBSBOT, a global intelligent imaging brand, officially launched its latest product, the Tiny 3, an AI live - streaming webcam that weighs only 63g, is equipped with a 1/1.28 - inch sensor, and supports 4K ultra - clear image quality.

OBSBOT has always had a very clear differentiation strategy. Instead of making general webcams, it centers around edge - side AI vision algorithms and builds its product system around "automated shooting."

OBSBOT Tiny 3

Compared with traditional professional cameras that often weigh over 200g, the entire OBSBOT Tiny 3 weighs only 63g. It features a precision aluminum alloy body and supports a PTZ dual - axis pan - tilt, enabling multi - angle shooting in both vertical and horizontal directions. To ensure stable operation of 4K video streams in a compact size, OBSBOT uses 22nm HKMG chip technology and SFCPixel - 2 technology, eliminating the need for a thick and heavy heat - dissipation structure required by traditional devices.

In terms of imaging, it is equipped with a 1/1.28 - inch sensor, supporting 4K@30FPS recording and 1080P@120FPS high - frame - rate output. With an f/1.8 aperture, dual native ISO, full - pixel PDAF phase focusing, and DCG HDR technology, it can achieve relatively balanced image performance in complex lighting environments - highlights are less likely to be overexposed, and details in the dark areas are also retained to some extent.

The intelligent tracking function has been upgraded to version 2.0. Its "Only Me" mode can lock onto a specified person. In multi - person scenarios, traditional AI tracking is prone to mis - switching to other people, causing the live - streaming image to deviate frequently. After the launch of this locking function in the OBSBOT Tiny 3, even if the target is temporarily blocked, the image will not mis - switch, and tracking will automatically resume once the blockage is removed. At the same time, AI automatic composition will adjust the image ratio in real - time according to the position of the subject.

The audio system uses a three - microphone array, including 1 omnidirectional microphone + 2 MEMS directional microphones, enabling 360° sound collection. The built - in AI noise reduction and sound source auxiliary positioning technology can filter out environmental noise and drive the pan - tilt to turn according to the sound source direction, achieving audio - video synchronization. In addition, the system provides 5 audio modes, allowing users to switch with one click according to different scenarios.

In terms of software, the OBSBOT Tiny 3 supports direct connection to a mobile phone for live streaming via the Obsbot Live App, eliminating the need for a computer. Built - in functions such as beauty enhancement, green - screen keying, digital avatars, as well as AI magic memory and RTC remote interaction, cover common usage scenarios such as live streaming, meetings, and remote collaboration.

Currently, the OBSBOT Tiny 3 is on sale at the official OBSBOT flagship stores on Tmall and JD.com, priced at 2499 yuan.

Supports direct connection to mobile phones for live streaming

Data from the China Internet Network Information Center shows that as of the end of 2025, the number of domestic online live - streaming users has exceeded 870 million, and scenarios such as e - commerce live streaming, knowledge sharing, and remote meetings continue to grow. As creators' requirements for equipment are evolving from "usable" to "scenario - based." According to GIR data, the global revenue from creators' live - streaming webcams was approximately $973 million in 2025 and is expected to reach $1.781 billion in 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.0%.

However, a related report from Strategy Analytics also points out that although the global USB webcam market grew by 18% year - on - year in 2025, the proportion of intelligent cameras with functions such as AI tracking, high - quality images, and professional audio is less than 15%. This means that highly integrated product forms like the OBSBOT Tiny 3 still have significant growth potential in terms of category penetration. Whether the product's capabilities can be translated into continuous user word - of - mouth and repeat purchases will be the key to determining the long - term performance of this product.
