The Obsbot Vox wireless live streaming microphone system offers 300m transmission range plus dual-channel recording, allowing the two 7.9g transmitters included in the package to connect to its single receiver. Vox also comes with a charging case.
The transmitters can be used in clip-on, magnetic, neck-mounted, or handheld configurations, and have USB-C connectivity and automatic pairing. They have 11 hours of battery use per transmitter, and the 1000mAh charging case extends total battery life to 44 hours. It is well integrated into Obsbot's intelligent imaging ecosystem, so works with the recently introduced Obsbot Tail 2, claimed to be “the world's first three-axis PTZR design 4K camera”, which boasts AI tracking, cinematic imaging and lossless vertical shooting.
The pan, tilt, zoom, rotate camera’s AI Tracking includes a new Only Me mode and group tracking to track single or multiple subjects, while its expanded subject recognition identifies 30+ animal species and 200+ objects.
Tail 2 also features AI-powered zoom, allowing users to adjust framing for close-ups and wide shots. Other notable features include a 5x optical zoom, HDR and dual native ISO, an auto levelling system, multi-protocol support (NDI, RTMP, RTSP, 3G-SDI, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, and FreeD), HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, Ethernet, RS-232, and WiFi 6 connectivity.
