Why it's worth it

The Tiny 2 Lite gives you real motorized tracking and 4K video in something about the size of a golf ball. You give up sensor area compared with the Link 2 Pro, and you save a lot in return.

This is the simplest way into hardware tracking that actually works. The head pans and tilts to follow you, with upper-body and hand-tracking modes plus custom zones so it ignores whoever wanders past the doorway. Preset positions let you snap between a seated shot and a standing one, each with its own settings. For teaching, demos or any stream where you get up, that's a different experience from a fixed camera.

The gesture control is the part owners keep mentioning. An open palm locks tracking onto you, a raised finger zooms, and you never touch the camera or alt-tab out of your scene. It also flips between horizontal, portrait and upside-down automatically depending on how it's mounted, which is handy if you're feeding a vertical stream as well as a widescreen one.

What we like

• +This is the simplest way into hardware tracking that actually works
• +The gesture control is the part owners keep mentioning
• +Size matters more than you'd think

What to know

• –The 1/2-inch sensor is smaller than what the Link 2 Pro and the Razer use, and low light is where you'll notice it
• –Reliability is the real caveat
