Huge thanks to my friends at Opal Camera for sponsoring this video! Head to https://opalcamera.com/opal-c1?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=creator&utm_campaign=gregsgadgets to check out the C1 webcam!
More and more of our life is being conducted through video calls which exposed a big problem in the last few years – built in webcams aren’t all that great, and the standalone webcams on the market have a lot of problems with not only how they look, but also how they work. However, Opal is here to change that with their Opal C1 which might be the best balanced webcam for ease of use, video quality, and it also looks great while doing it.

Cmon we all know it’s not worth 299. Just use continuity camera. Nice ad I guess, I hope they paid you well
Best looking webcam!!!! 👀 boy, the eye of the beholder is doing some heavy lifting here😂
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day!
wow that camera….. Mr. blue eyes 😉
A $250 webcam? I'll take the Logitech for $69.99. Nice video though.
Think if I needed a better looking image than my 27 inch LG Ultra HD 5K 1080P webcam I would use continuity camera with my iPhone 11 Pro. Thing is I only use it for non professional virtual meetings.
I’ll stay with continuity camera with iPhone but thank you.
It's much more brightness and whiteness in the Opal C1 compared to the $3500 DSLR but it's a webcam not a pro-consumer mirrorless camera…btw you bought me smhlmao
i saw something comparing it to the insta 360 link, where the link beats this
Weird way of pronouncing opal 😐.
Thank you Greg for the review, I am going to check it. For years I am disappointed with Apple for the time it’s taking to upgrade the camera on the MacBook Pros. It is a high cost laptop with a very ordinary camera.
I would like to see the comparison to the continuity camera option (iPhone 12 or 14 Pro Max). Thanks!
A lot of tech tubers pushing this model, so an advertising blitz. This video is just an advert? I understand you need to earn money, but a bit too commercial. What is the resolution?
Greg you look like an older you d Sheldon!
sorry man but this video makes you an advertiser more than a reviewer. I normally like your videos, Greg. But the mac's built in cam is already really good, and I'd say the Opal is marginally better, but hardly presents anything additional that makes it worth getting when you consider that just another thing you have to have on your shelf or carry along. It's sharp but you're washed out in most of the shots. The lens is certainly better, but the processing is seemlingly sluggish as the jittering is quite apparent in your video example. That alone makes it a deal breaker. As for aesthetics, I'd say it looks like something of a home-brew design that is easily 3D printed. Does not look like they took any further development beyond what they started with, beyond the retro splatter/speckle texture, which personally am not too fond of.
The only way I'd buy something my computer already has is if it is a MUST-HAVE killer app game-changer kind of feature. This is just another web camera.
Wayyy to pricyyy
i went to the site and it didnt even work… that doesnt look well if they want to entice me
