I don't know about the sound, but the video of the macbook camera is definitely better than the Opal one.
Perhaps, but the sound of the Opal One is very better than the sound of the MacBook microphone.
I agree with you
Thanks guys, and the sound of Opal One is much better because it is very good at isolating the voice of ambient noises, unlike the MacBook microphone.
@@yanntm8809it might be cancelling out background noise better, but it sounds like he’s underwater!
@@alfieprothero2774i agree
I have to be honest, the MacBook built in mic sounds much better in my opinion. Then I went back and listened to the C1, and it sounds leagues better than both.
Considering this is a sponsored video I'm surprised they let him showcase the obviously much better Macbook Pro camera. Also, both iOS and macOS now have different microphone modes (standard, noice cancellation and wide spectrum), so I imagine with the noise cancellation one the Macbook can sound just as good, or even better.
Also showcasing autofocus on the Opal but not on the Macbook is a bit weird, if it's great wouldn't you want to compare it to the built-in camera?
I was jus thinking the Mac camera looked better.
@@Saintel SAME 🤣🤣
Great Video! Not sure bout the webcam though. I really like Opals design but especially the sound is really muffled compared to the Macbooks mic. $175 is a very steep price, I think $100 would be more adequate
2:12 I’m concerned about aluminum scratching the aluminum back of the laptop.
I think he mentioned that there is a softer foam on that side of the nount
IMHO the MacBook's camera and audio is definitely better and it's not even close when it comes to audio. The Opal sounds like a cheap 90$ Chinese smartphone call.
This is a solution to a problem that doesn't exit at least for modern laptops. The audio especially was bad on the Opal, sounded like you were in a tincan, sure the background noise was gone but are we really sitting in meetings in a busy coffee shop or restaurant?
um....de fuque is the point? the cam quality undistinguishable from a general macbook? LOL
Killer video as always Josh, and Opal's tech is always a great example of thoughtful and well considered design.
THATS A JOKE, THE QUALITY SUCKS AND THE PRICE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This webcam looks really good, I really like your videos and the editing style Joshua :)
The Opal audio makes it sound like you’re underwater recording with a Gopro & the image doesn’t look as flattering as the MacBook camera as well. The design of the product itself looks cool though lol
A top of the line microphone (with a mute button) is also $180. 🤷♂
And who closes their laptop during a video call? That's a completely made up problem.
Opal really alienated their audience when they made their first camera only available for Apple
Hi 😁 used it on a desktop ?
Sweet!
Ummmmmmm
Is it just me or did the MacBook camera not only look better but sound better???? 😂😅😅😅
Good video as always. Love Opal’s design language but that microphone is not great for $175! The 4K sensor is cool but it doesn’t look worlds better than the MacBook sensor. Swing and a miss from Opal but it’s a first gen attempt at this price point so we’ll see how they improve in the future.
Camera looked really good until he got up and it got choppy. Mic wise, yea the newer higher end laptops do have better sound than most external webcams
I have an M2 Air and the default camera definitely looks better than tadpole. The mic by itself sounds better too, sure tadpole is great for isolation but the voice sounds airy and distorts in/out even when sitting in front of it due to its directional feature. 9/10 times I’m working from my home desk when working remote so isolation doesn’t matter; I don’t do work in a crowded coffee shop or something.
Yah no way I’m putting that on my laptop
Aluminium might be is softer but it’s also heavy and will increase the force being extracted on to the display
Leaving it prone to damage
why its not wireless 😮😮😮
Is the Amazon listing legit?
30 fps is the deal breaker. Why not make it 60fps when they can.
Except that Macs have Voice Isolation built in now - you just have to turn it on. The Mic (or the compression) on the new Opal is terrible
Great video. However this video confirmed to me that the MacBook camera and mic is actually better.
Far too expensive for 1080p 30fps these days. Nowhere near good enough quality. Don't care about the clip it's not a problem that needs to be solved. It's also really not that small.
This webcam has me so stoked. Been thinking about getting it for awhile.
DONT
Nice but too expensive imo
But can you mount it any other way. Most webcams have a threaded tripod mount. Is that an option?
Sound and camera are not convincing and too expensive
MacBook Pro camera > Tadpole
Well designed but a bit overpriced. 🙂
Oh wow... but the Macbook pro cam looks loads bettee, thats disspapointing 😢
This ridiculous. Why would you cover a proper Full HD built in webcam in the laptop, with a webcam that doesn’t add any value?
That camera is outrageously horrible. The MacBook camera is an RX100 compared to the tadpole which is like my Nokia from high school. It is a complete rip off. Great design and aesthetic but as a camera - LOL. Better to use the MacBook cam or your iPhone. I’d rather have the iPhone camera quality and by the way, nobody worries like mad if the iPhone falls over, you’d probably end up trying to fix a position with both hands. It’s not like you’re constantly adjusting your display.
Looked and sounded worse than the built in. Maybe you like the garbled sound of cheap and nasty noise reduction 🤷. And if you’re in a cafe on a zoom, you would have AirPods in for mic and noise cancelling.
175 dollars for a camera from a mid-range phone XD the market of attached cameras is a scam.
The microphone is absolutely incredible. Prolly the best part of the webcam.
It sounded horrible to me compared to the MacBook
@@JaceKeller yeah 🤣🤣
Amazing 👍
I like the Apple Video better.
Hard pass. The video and audio quality of the MacBook is way better..
Video quality is sh*t btw. He forgot to mention it. Thank me later.
Holy cow that microphone is terrible
Why buying a webcam when there ain’t a big difference to the MacBook Pro cam? Sooooo weird
