Hello, how does it compare to the insta360 web cam. Can you make a video about simple and portable livestream setup like with an iPad or MacBook and a simple setup in a dedicated space thank you
OMG! I know what I’m going to be asking for this Christmas! Thanks so much for your helpful reviews and advice. I always look forward to them. Your daughter is adorable, BYW.🥰
Great review! I'm waiting on someone to do an audio and video comparison between the C1 and the Tadpole. Someone did a video comparison, but not an audio comparison.
Cool piece of tech, i just got mine today, where it clips on the glass the part of the cam that clips is hard, and the back part of the cam clip is rubber, i feel like the whole thing should be rubberized, i feel like it could scratch my glass... maybe im just OCD... but its a $7K Macbook Pro M3 Max
That’s the thing, the good ones are all on the higher side in terms of price. I suppose the closest comparison to the C1 would be the insta360 Link , but they’re in the same price range.
@@PatrickRambles thank you Patrick for the answer. I was also thinking about the Insta360 Go 3, to use it as multi purpose camera. Webcam and also as Action Cam. Furthermore, do you know any adapter to use the Tadpole on a desktop screen? I mean, it would be cool to have a mount to put it on top of the desktop screen, like the C1....
do you like this webcam I have a MacBook Air M2 and I work from home and I need a quality webcam with a decent mic im going to eventually upgrade the mic I value for opinion.
Hey guys, I tested it and the webcam works! Depends on the app whether it let's you use it. Facetime recognized it instantly, Zoom stuck to the iPad internal cam.
So I think I heard that you live in the Netherlands(if not I’m sorry) ,but do you know anything about riding E-Scooters because I have one that goes 30mph and I would want to know if that is legal to ride it on public streets.(I could not find any detailed Information)
They can’t show a side-by-side because the Opal isn’t as good as the built-in camera. I bought it after watching reviews like this and found out the hard way.
Nothing against the webcam but if Apple is comfortable charging $2,000 for a MacBook you’d think they’d have a decent camera….. that being said they don’t even come with chargers anymore. Watches don’t come with bands. iPad and iPhones don’t come with a charging block. They are charging triple and giving less than they did 8 years ago. Pathetic
@@PatrickRambles series 3 came with 2 sets of bands. My new watch arrived last week. Different band than the ones I’m used to. Ones size, no second smaller band, no charging brick just the cable. Twice the price with twice the air in the box.
Don’t be fooled. This camera is not better than your MacBook webcam. People commented on an obvious decrease in quality when you don’t have professional lighting. I ordered it, and it’s awful. Opal was even worse - they refused to respond to my emails requesting to return the camera during the 30-day return window. I used to trust this channel, but… ouch!
I'm sorry you've had a bad experience but I don't share your opinion. The camera is leaps better than the one on the Macbook. Obviously it needs light, any camera sensor does.
Bro never showed the video sample and the audio is frankly robotic and terrible.
Video sample at 3:22 and 3:42 and
I might have to get one just because of your assistant. looks like a great camera.
Haha she's the best ❤️
This is such a cool product! Opal did it once again! And that tap to mute switch right there on your fingertips is such a great feature! 😍
Thanks for another amazing video, Patrick!
Cheers from Brazil!
Thanks man!

Hi, insta360 link is more feature rich, but it's also a lot less portable.
OMG! I know what I’m going to be asking for this Christmas! Thanks so much for your helpful reviews and advice. I always look forward to them.
Your daughter is adorable, BYW.🥰
Thank you!
Wow 🤩 I'm so in need of one of these! Thanks, Patrick 😍
Appreciate you, Greg!

It shouldn’t damage the glass. But I do feel you, I’m a bit OCD as well and share your concern.
Great video as always! Just ordered £158 in UK including shipping!
Nice! And thanks :)
Oh nice! I’ll be checking this out.
Maybe for my studio display. Would appreciate more test footage. Thanks for the video anyway, looks interesting.
Great review! Except of the C1, which is quite pricey, which webcam would you recommend to use with a Mac and an external Monitor?
That’s the thing, the good ones are all on the higher side in terms of price. I suppose the closest comparison to the C1 would be the insta360 Link , but they’re in the same price range.

Now that Opal has a product that's more reasonably priced my interest is piqued. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching Bryan!

My next webcam! Thanks for the overview.
Thanks for watching!
Best Assistant EVER! ❤️
She's the cutest
The noise cancellation sounds terrible
Is it compatible with the iPad Pro?
That's actually a great question. I'd be surprised if it wasn't, but let me test it for you when I get back to the studio tomorrow.
@@PatrickRambles I was wondering the same thing.
@dhut1832 will check that for you guys today 👍

Always great videos
Thanks!!

I live in Belgium (I am from the Netherlands though). There's EU regulations for scooters but I have no idea what they ate exactly.
@@PatrickRambles Thank’s
I been waiting for something like this from long time! I think this the first product in the market, will order this ASAP!
Do u review smart cases for AirPod max?
Profesor, paying monthly for a software to use the webcam full capabilities es ridiculo 😂.
Love you Videos ,do you think Apple is going to bring a new Mac mini with the M3?have a good day/ afternoon 😊
I would be susprised if they didn't!
So uh, where's the video sample? Am I an idiot? Did I miss a demonstration?
The part where I am using it at the table.
Great review! I may just buy one. However, I may have missed it, but was this a sponsored review? I think it is always good to mention that.
Oh, I just saw Max Tech doing a review on it as well. So that’s a yes then 😂.
Thanks! At the beginning of the video, it is indicated that this video is a paid partnership, in accordance with TH-cam guidelines.
I will have to get this . Thanks bro for sharing good content as always 🙏.
Hope in future apple improves macbook camera quality 😃
Thanks man!
Would have loved a side by side comparison of video quality like you did for the mic. Great video otherwise!
They can’t show a side-by-side because the Opal isn’t as good as the built-in camera. I bought it after watching reviews like this and found out the hard way.
Finally a good alternative to Logitech's expensive cameras.
Exactly
Dude! You didn't eject your drive properly. What monster channel is this?!
I like to live on the edge 😂
Where's the image quality comparison?
Nothing against the webcam but if Apple is comfortable charging $2,000 for a MacBook you’d think they’d have a decent camera….. that being said they don’t even come with chargers anymore. Watches don’t come with bands. iPad and iPhones don’t come with a charging block. They are charging triple and giving less than they did 8 years ago. Pathetic
I agree with you on the Apple squeeze but MacBook do come with chargers and I've nevers seen an Apple Watch be shipped without a band.
@@PatrickRambles series 3 came with 2 sets of bands. My new watch arrived last week. Different band than the ones I’m used to. Ones size, no second smaller band, no charging brick just the cable. Twice the price with twice the air in the box.
Comes to $304 Canadian with case, shipping and taxes. That’s a deal breaker for me 😢
That sucks
$263 for me....I may wait on this as I have the insta360 webcam and it's great, slightly less portable though and that mute button 👍🏾👍🏾
Anyone else notice the swole
😂
This thing is as pretty as it is useless for any redesigned MacBook user.
Why is that
the que card 😂😂😂
😆
