I love behind-the-scenes shots of the industrial design process like this Wish more companies did this… Apple? :)

This is a really great product. Really simple, easy to use. Great job Veeraj Chugh and team!

i personally don't care about my webcam quality, but this is a surprisingly elegant solution for the iPad's less than ideal camera position for FaceTime. the cable is nice/short, and it clips on just fine. didn't think i'd like this thing but i totally see the use case for it

The Opal Tadpole from Opal is a really neat webcam for laptops that is small, high quality, and convenient to use. ✅ 48 MP Sony IMX582 sensor, Aperture F/1.8, 6 element lens. ✅ 4K video recording. ✅ It has a braided cable that looks and feels great, and it can act as a

Shoutout to the Opal team for hooking up the Tadpole portable webcam. Super easy to use and I look great in Zoom meetings (where I show up for 3 minutes, tell an unfunny joke and leave).

Looking forward to taking the Opal Tadpole for a spin. The packaging is just 👌🏾

I have an Opal!

The Opal Tadpole arrived while I was out of town for Christmas and New Year’s. Delighted by the form factor and craftsmanship.

I mean, look at the packaging! Love what Opal is doing there. I’m using my Opal like every day and now I habe something for visiting the office from time to time.

I got one of those rad little Opal tadpole webcams while on parental leave and damn is it useful for taking calls on the couch without looking like a potato. Also it’s cute as heck 🤩

Remember the *abrupt* shift to remote work in 2020? Frustrated by subpar webcams, founder Veeraj Chugh ventured into creating a high-end webcam that could offer 4K video and noise reduction— a necessity in the era of daily Zoom meetings.

I am quite enjoying the Composer from team Opal + C1 camera which is now my default ZoomCam :) I am glad I gave up on Logitech.
