Hi all... so what makes this so special that MKBHD invested in it!? What do you think? I think this is a surprisingly versatile camera for more than just Zoom! 📣Watch my desk setup next here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6iTaqajodCaa8U & head to opalcamera.com/opal-c1? to check out the C1 webcam! ❤

Love this. Thanks for making this video. I'm going to have to look into this. :)

[@adagli]

Thanks Simon, sick, just ordered ⚡️

[@BetterCreating]

Yeah - really enjoying it! Cheers :)

Hello, just wanted to know: Can I do the settings stuff on my private MacBook and the settings are stored in the camera itself, so that I can take advantage of the settings, when connecting my Business MacBook (on which I am not allowed to installed 3rd party software)?

[@VitaminB3TA]

Thanks for the video! Now you’ve testet both the Opal C1 and Insta 360 Link. Which would you prefer for daily webcam?

[@BetterCreating]

No worries! I’d say I’d choose the opal for video quality, design and sound, and if I wanted to use it for streaming or a second camera for other creative use cases alongside video calls, I’d choose the Insta if I made a lot of presentations or did loads of video calls a day as I found the integration a tiny bit smoother with Zoom (better out connection) and the AI and tracking features are great for people working remotely and doing presentations - but it’s super close! :)

@@BetterCreatingNew subscriber here! Am I right in thinking that the Insta 360 does the straight down in your desk shot where as the C1 doesn’t?

[@Attilakalel]

Hi Simon love your videos, just wanted to ask wasn't sure if you tried it yet but, can this be plugged into the TS3/4 rather than the MacBook?

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks! Yeah - worked fine through thunderbolt 4 dock from CalDigit.

[@Attilakalel]

thanks! looks like I will be purchasing soon@@BetterCreating

[@Pazdzioch1993]

What I really miss from this material is showing the image in worse lightning. And maybe comparison to Iphone continuum camera.

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks for the suggestions: good ideas for the future :)

[@shashank20062]

@bettercreating I think Opal c1 footage looks much better than camera footage. The colors look much better and your tee shirt's original color is coming in opal.

[@BetterCreating]

Yeah it looks great - although for clarity that’s a different brighter blue t-shirt!

[@shashank20062]

@@BetterCreating i see, all other colors looks great and natural than in the video.
