I have been struggling with poor video and audio quality making tutorials for work. Despite having all of the bells and whistles to record with, the quality was still lacking and it all felt so complicated. Enter the Tadpole. My process for recording is now streamlined and my video is high quality and allows me to create content I can be proud of.
Using the tadpole was super simple, simply plug and go. Simple to adjust the angle and I really appreciate the compact size that makes it perfect for transporting back and forth to the office. The cable isn’t very long, which I like, but you may want to mindful of if you have an extra large laptop screen or are attempting to configure it for a use it isn’t originally intended for. It would not work for a desktop screen.
The other feature I love and didn’t know I needed is the magnetic lense cover. No more anxiety of whether or not I actually left my zoom video on and am being watched 😂
I haven’t yet used Opal Composer, but intend to try it when I switch my work laptop over to a Mac and am looking forward to it.

Camera and microphone quality are decent. Linked right up with my Mac so easy to use. Performs decent. Only problem is this stupid ball which has made me unable to mount the camera at the top of my monitor. Also, the cable length is minimal. This should be for laptops only. However, vast majority of laptops already have a webcam. The developers missed the ball on this one!

Stupid cord management ball ruins the whole thing
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2024
There is a plastic “ball” on the cable for cord management. This is a nice add on, unfortunately it makes the cable kinked and not long enough to reach the top of my monitor. There’s no good way to remove this “ball”.Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2024

The Tadpole's picture quality compared to built-in laptop cameras has made me appreciate its value, especially in the era of remote work. The quality between the Tadpole and built-in cameras is night and day. The clarity, sharpness, and vividness of the footage make virtual interactions feel as close to in-person as possible. In hindsight, my only regret is not gifting Tadpoles to all my regular Zoom/Teams contacts. It's a camera that offers great value, particularly friendly for beginners, thanks to its clear footage and user-friendly design.

Form, Function, and Ease - Great for travel and those who appreciate AV quality
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023
The Opal Tadpole has surpassed my expectations, fitting seamlessly into my minimalist lifestyle with its small, portable, and aesthetically pleasing design. As a frequent traveler, its convenience shines whether I'm making a quick call from an airport lounge, the little nook at my favorite coffee shop, or my desk. The standout feature, undoubtedly, is the video quality, a crucial aspect for someone like me with a discerning eye for the nuances of video and audio due to my background as a once aspiring actor (welp).Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023
