In the world technologies, where size is often inversely proportional to performance, Opal with its new Opal Webcam Tadpoles breaks down stereotypes. Measuring just 45mm wide and weighing 35 grams, the Tadpole packs a 48MP Sony IMX582 RS sensor and f1.8 lens that delivers impressive 1080p resolution at 30 FPS. The camera is also equipped with a VisiMic microphone that blocks out background noise and enables clear audio capture.


One of the highlights of the Tadpole is its flexible woven cable for easy portability and silicone grip that fits most laptops. The Tadpole is specifically designed for use with laptops as its grip does not open up enough to attach to larger displays such as monitors.

Opal Tadpole also boasts an innovative mute feature that allows you to quickly mute the microphone with the push of a button on the USB cable. LED indicators on the camera and cable provide immediate visual feedback on the status of the microphone.

Also included in the camera package is a silicone privacy cover that can be used when the camera is not in use. For better image settings and additional effects, Opal Composer is available, which works on both Mac and PC. Although recording resolution is limited to 1080p, Opal Composer offers a variety of screen and camera recording options.

Priced at $175, the Tadpole is available in black and white, with the option of adding a protective case for an additional $25. With all these features and a sleek design, the Tadpole is a great choice for those who make frequent video calls and are looking for a quality yet portable solution.
