When to Choose OBSBOT Tiny 3
Content creators and streamers who demand the best video, tracking, and audio in a single device
The OBSBOT Tiny 3 is the most premium webcam money can buy. The combination of flagship image quality, lightning-fast gimbal tracking, and spatial audio microphones makes it the ultimate all-in-one. At $349, it's steep, but for creators who want one device to do everything, nothing else comes close.
Strengths
- Flagship 4K image quality with a large sensor and superior dynamic range
- 2-axis gimbal with the fastest, most accurate AI tracking in any webcam
- Spatial audio microphones capture directional sound for immersive calls
Limitations
- At $349, it's the most expensive consumer webcam in this roundup
- Larger and heavier than non-gimbal alternatives
- Overkill for basic video calls — the features justify the price mainly for creators
When to Choose Elgato Facecam 4K
Streamers and content creators in the Elgato ecosystem who use external microphones and want top-tier video
The Elgato Facecam 4K is a webcam designed by streamers, for streamers. The Sony STARVIS 2 sensor produces exceptional image quality, and the lens filter mount is a unique creative tool. The deliberate omission of a microphone is a bold choice — this is for creators who already have dedicated audio gear.
Strengths
- Outstanding 4K image quality with Sony STARVIS 2 sensor and wide dynamic range
- Interchangeable lens filter mount for ND filters and creative effects
- Deep integration with Elgato Stream Deck and Camera Hub software
Limitations
- No built-in microphone — requires a separate mic for audio
- No AI tracking or auto-framing features
- Premium price for a webcam that intentionally omits a mic
