Greetings from Colombia and congratulations for the excellent content you upload, what camera model do you use in this video? the quality is incredible
Great question, I think that's the kind of use case this camera is made for. I do not think it's overkill, and it's pricing is affordable as well. As a type of webcam or home-studio camera, I think it will do the job exceptionally well.
@@YudronWangmo I wouldn’t use it even that far away. I think it needs to be close so that very little digital zooming happens. 7 feet or less in my opinion. But it’s subjective
Better than Canon and Panasonic- haven’t seen Sony… with less features. But the tracking is buttery smooth compared to the others I’ve seen… just with less features.
Ok question in our sanctuary our video shot will be around 75 feet. What PTZ under $500.00 would you suggest? With NDI and auto track. Want to use ECamm. No bands, no plays. Just preaching with Keynote slides. Thinking about bringing a feed from what’s being sent from the Mac mini to our Panasonic projector into to eCamm. Some type of camera switcher capable of 4 inputs, 2 for now with expansion possible. The switcher would just switch the cameras the Keynote feed would go directly into eCamm live. The operator could setup scenes for preacher by himself full screen, Keynote feed alone full screen, a feed with camera left Keynote right on screen plus one flipped. The second camera would be for the Lords Supper. Shots. Now with a small church under 50 what equipment do you suggest. I will have the operator using a Stream Deck for scene switching in eCamm. I have eCamm working this way with our current recordings. SPH church on TH-cam.
A PTZ with enough zoom for 75’ for under $500, honestly wouldn’t be worth the plastic it’s housed in. You can find a cheap one like that on Amazon I guess, I just don’t recommend it.
I wanted to buy it as a gift for the church. TY for the review I would not buy for church since I do need a zoom option that works and it looked really bad in the video.
Hi there... Can i ask you... My church is small.. its abount 40 feet long and about 16 feet wide. Currently im using Panasonic camcorder for YT streaming with Easy Worship and OBS Studio. My camera setup was 35 feet from camera to the stage. I usually shot wide when worship, and long way zoom when preaching time. Im looking to replac the camcorder, can this Obost do the job? The drawbacks maybe the camera need to be placed near the stage since it has only 4x digital.zoom, and a long way hdmi cable to the PC at the church entrance. Or should i stick to a new camcorder like i use recently?
Great review! I probably would replace the advice to the competition to "buy a license" rather than...well...just buy a license. No worries but represent brother.
The auto tracking not working well in poor light and event in good lighting when a person move in from of the focus object it change the tracking. Digital zoom not so good it blur when zoom in.
It’s not unusable. It’s just not a replacement for the larger cameras. That’s a round peg, square hole. But when you put it in a round hole, it works quite well. You can’t judge a wrench by its ability to drive a nail, so to speak.
It can be an awesome option for secondary cameras (usually from left or right). For main and frontal cameras it is not an option because it would be a total distraction I think. My church is heavily illuminated so a camera at 5 feet's of the preacher would be very visible and distracting. More ambient churches may not be so distracting.
Exactly. It's main use in a large auditorium is for creative shots, like in a drum cage or next to a musician or something. THe bigger optical zooms are needed for normal PTZ work.
Beautiful video. I love this content and OSBOT got their money worth to send to you. YOu really sold this camera. I'm thinking about getting one.
The price point is definitely attractive. It could be a great way for smaller churches to step up for the live streaming game
Thanks a lot for your honest review. Greetings from Barcelona!
Thanks for the review! It looks like it is a good piece of equipment for the price!!
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised and now excited about the different ways I can use this.
I'm excited about the potential for creative shots, especially for music performances Thx for the review:)
You and me both!

Excellent review, with you touching on all of my key questions. I just wish it had more actual up-close usage of the camera, in lieu of your DSLR!
Thank you!
EXCELLENT REVIEW! We are considering this camera for our small church down here in Brazil. What camera are you using to record this video with?
Q: does this have a place for a home ministry setup? Or is it overkill? Thank you for sharing

@@ChurchSetup thank you again, I am new to this space to setup my live stream.
If a seated or standing speaker is 15 feet away from it, can it zoom enough for that?
@@YudronWangmo I wouldn’t use it even that far away. I think it needs to be close so that very little digital zooming happens. 7 feet or less in my opinion. But it’s subjective
What about service ? Any dealer in the US?
A question for me would be: which Auto Tracking systems have you seen? How does it compare to Canon, Sony, Panasonic autotracking systems? Thanks

@@ChurchSetup this is a small group wanting to get into live streaming for benefit of their members who are “shut-in”.
You would have to get the cameras closer to the front. Buy a monopod as they take up less floor space
Drum cage. How does it deal with camera shake from kick drums?
I wanted to buy it as a gift for the church. TY for the review I would not buy for church since I do need a zoom option that works and it looked really bad in the video.
how can you do this wireless. we also do a roland camera switcher, how do we hook this up to that?
the video i was looking for, thank you!
Oh, I can send you some inside shots of the sanctuary.
With the problem of landscape using Android phone during life stream on Facebook, what is the stake of this camera
Truss is typically made from non magnetic material. - but I do like the cameras.
The zoom thing is what we are having trouble with. We are at about 50 feet. Any suggestions?

the features are really good. But cant stand that image quality, even for closeups, its just too fuzzy...
Great review! I probably would replace the advice to the competition to "buy a license" rather than...well...just buy a license. No worries but represent brother.
It’s called hyperbole and sarcasm. I think most people get the joke. 🤓
The auto tracking not working well in poor light and event in good lighting when a person move in from of the focus object it change the tracking. Digital zoom not so good it blur when zoom in.
Be in a country with support and hope yours is a church of prayer and faith. Only one in three of these devices worked for me
It’s expensive damn it 😅
Thanks, this video shows quite well that this camera is not really usable for church or concert or similar. No proper optical zoom == unusable.
It’s not unusable. It’s just not a replacement for the larger cameras. That’s a round peg, square hole. But when you put it in a round hole, it works quite well.

@@ChurchSetupis it possible to remote control the pan tilt and zoom via a PC? Not using the Bluetooth controller for to small distance
Impossible due to zoom limits. Not all churches can put a camera in front of everyone. That is disturbing. I'm churches we need huge zoom.
Exactly. It's main use in a large auditorium is for creative shots, like in a drum cage or next to a musician or something. THe bigger optical zooms are needed for normal PTZ work.
@@ChurchSetup Yes, they are amazing, hope one day the include zoom and better optics. The tech seem to be already there.
I believe so. It takes the VISCA protocol too so joystick controllers can do it as well.
@@ChurchSetup that sounds pretty amazing
@@ChurchSetup Ok, that is a key.
