Opal C1 Webcam - The BEST 4K Webcam in 2023?

This is possibly the best webcam I've used yet. The Opal C1 webcam promises DSLR quality 4K video in a small form factor. So is it really that good? Well, I can see why MKBHD loved this webcam enough to invest in it.

Opal C1 Webcam - The BEST 4K Webcam in 2023?

[@noais0ffline417]

I very much enjoyed this review. Purely informaly, you've managed to cover all aspects that a buyer is looking after when purchasing a product! Good job!

[@theBruceKimPresents]

Absolutely loved this review. Pretty much everything I was looking to know and more! Thanks so much and gemstone!

[@danielleamber7353]

I like how the white one gives retro vibes but would personally use the black one to match all my existing tech. Will look into this so I can top using my iPhone as my webcam lol.

[@dasignarts]

Amazing Camera and Audio quality IMO.
The Design of the Webcam is also great!
I love the low hassle and ease of usage. :)
I personally use my iPhone Continuity Camera.
I have the 12 Pro an it loos amazing.
It's even better when you have a newer iPhone.

[@Wholality]

Thanks so much! very helpful

[@CBALiving]

Great review on the Opal C1 👍🏻

[@visionarywatts]

Another gemstone of a video 🙌

[@jimantonopoulos8504]

Great review Andrew. Sold me on the Opal and mine arrived today. Love it.

[@travellerbybirth]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@AndrewDavidJ]

Gemstone! Great review, thank you! :)

[@jakejacobs126]

Ive taken the plung on this webcam based on this video. I look forward to testing this,

[@David-Incognia]

Any updates on your experience with it so far?

[@mrfootballerloons]

word gemstone!

[@WI_Can_Am_Guy]

Aaaand it's only for Mac. Had my credit card in hand, bummer.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

I thinnnnk Opal's coming out with a Windows-specific app soon 🤞

[@Oldyellowbrick]

Same. They are losing a lot of business here as I was sold on this webcam.

[@Mamachola46]

I almost bought it, but guess what? I use window 😅

[@lancinekeita4823]

FUCK.
And I don't see them on Amazon

[@chaeugene]

Really impressed with the video quality and bokeh of Opal C1!😮 Also, I prefer the white one too.

[@LibertyCrypto]

I was just about to buy two and discovered it is not compatible with windows 😭

[@zMastaa]

This is huge information

[@majin1901]

Never heard of this webcam before until now, it seems incredible. If you don't mind me asking is there post processing on the C1 webcam clips?

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

The usual LUT is applied to all clips but there's no extra colorgrade, other than the software improvements. Definitely recommend playing with the app settings upfront though!

[@TheCyclingAdvisor]

gemstone great video

[@user-kl3dw8kv2u]

1:32 - for a moment I thought this was a cut back to your main camera...the image quality is definitely up there wow

[@EverythingGizmo]

Well shot video and 60fps is a bonus!

It looks like the FPS is 15 or 20

[@agalIam]

omg i have a logitech 920 its pure garbage. i use my imac camera but it doesnt tilt well, thanks for this video on reviews

[@TheManInCommand]

I'm a professional audio engineer and the MacBook M2 microphone sounds the best. I like the video quality, it's better than the Brio and 360. Overall, I'd said it's a tie between the Opal and the M2 when it comes to sharpness, quality, tones, and audio. The 360 and Brio look dull and dark to in comparison.

[@kaorder56]

The black one looks so much better honestly. The white one looks like a toy and one at match most electronics colors it will be attached to.

[@anilfarhan7697]

and it only works with Macs.

[@AlecSharratt101]

The first thing you should say is that it only works with Apple computers. As most people use Windows.

[@George2647g]

Used the word 'dollars' without mentioning that it's USD and you're an australian - 'Booo!!'

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Our main audience is based in the US (like over 60%) so makes more sense to speak in US dollars
