DSLR shooters have an advantage that most PTZ camera owners don’t – until now. OBSBOT Tail 2 solves the issue of shooting with a PTZ on a bright sunny day- overexposed skies, washed out faces, hours of post-editing.
The OBSBOT Tail 2 ND Filters are a small accessory that will help capture the clouds and the faces without maxing out shutter speed and ISO.
How Tail 2 ND Filter Works
<img decoding="async" width="494" height="325" data-tf-not-load src="https://www.geekazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tail2-with-ND-filter.webp" alt="Tail 2 with ND Filter attached" class="wp-image-37786" style="width:300px" srcset="https://geekazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tail2-with-ND-filter.webp 494w, https://geekazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tail2-with-ND-filter-300x197.webp 300w" sizes="(max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px" />
They simply function like if you put sunglasses on. It enables you to shoot nice, clean, and well-balanced shots without sacrificing clarity.
The Tail Air has ND Filter Kits for both the Tail 2 and the Tail Air cameras. The kit includes 4 ND filters: ND8, ND16, ND32, and ND64 rings. They push onto the camera while the counterbalance rings keep weight distribution even so the motor doesn’t get taxed.
These filters can help control harsh lighting when at outdoor events – from a soccer game, to a park concert. It also protects your lens if it has to be set pointed at direct sunlight.

I go through the 4 filters, and see how this changes the look of the video in these hard light situations.
