Product of the Day11st
Excited to be hunting Tadpole today. Veeraj, Stefan, and the Opal team have been hard at work and delivered an amazing new webcam designed for laptops. It's incredibly small and has great image quality — but it's the directional audio mic that's the real gamechanger. Can't wait to use this product.
Comment highlights
I've always been interested in tech products like this, especially the latest one from Humanis. But for the time being, I'd have been curious to see if it's possible to make images with this camera, and to know if it's possible to have the same effect as other cameras with a blurred background.
It seems really cool but why on earth doesn't it have a 3/8" connector at the bottom to mount it on a stand instead of clipping it to the laptop? I have a 2:1 and like to draw so it would be easier to keep the camera mounted on a cheap, simple stand than clip it to the laptop @alexisohanian. Maybe a design consideration for 2.0
Big fan of my Opal C1! Excited for this launch. Do you guys have any team pricing? Would love to make this part of my brand's equipment package.
Congratulation on the successful launch of Tadpole on Product Hunt ! I can't wait to try and provide you my feedback!
Big fan of Opal. Fortunate to get my hands on C1 in the early days and it’s game-changing for me. Love this design and the new product. Also this means will there be a new design update on C1?
I love your landing page, it's so clear how much effort went into every animation!
Congrats @opalcamera You've done an amazing job with the first-ever Tadpole webcam designed for laptops. You'll now be able to take your laptop gaming to the next level with this innovative product. Enjoy your journey as a visionary! :)
The Tadpole is a fantastic product that makes Zoom just a bit more fun. The device looks cute, works extremely well and is very portable. It's the first webcam that feels like it's actually built for laptops and people on the go. The touch Tap to Mute is such a convenient (and smart) feature. If this is what the Opal team has cooked up, I can't wait to see what they do next.
Looks like a great update over Opal C1 that I use for over a year now! Congrats on the launch!
Pitty...I only use ChromeOS and Linux. Website states that only Mac or (before) Windows. More like a fashion product than a real useful gadget.
Tadpole is revolutionizing laptop webcams! 🚀 The first webcam designed for laptops is a game-changer. Upvoted! Can't wait to experience the enhanced video calling
I'm intrigued by Tadpole's AI noise isolation! How does it work and what are the benefits for users? Can you provide more information or resources about it?
Absolutely LOVE Opal's design language. Does anyone know they've improved on the overheating issue yet?
