Opal Launches Tadpole, a High-End Webcam Designed for Laptops

The $175 Device Features a 48-Megapixel Sensor and a Built-In Directional Microphone

Opal, a hardware company, has launched a new webcam called the Tadpole, designed specifically for laptops.
The Tadpole is a small, portable device with a 48-megapixel Sony IMX582 sensor, capable of capturing video up to 4K.
The Tadpole also features a built-in directional microphone, which is designed to pick up less ambient noise than traditional webcams.
The device is compatible with both Windows and Mac devices and is designed to be easy to use, with no need for additional software or apps.
The Tadpole is priced at $175, significantly less than Opal's first webcam, the C1, which was priced at $300 at launch.
