Tadpole vs The World



MUTE YOUR
CALL WITH
A SINGLE TAP.

Have you ever wished you could instantly mute yourself in a video call without
having to look for that elusive mic button? Well, now you can have it.


Tap To Mute™

Touch it or swipe it. Our integrated capacitive
USB-C button can mute your mic instantly.


OUT OF SIGHT?
OUT OF MIC.

A first on any consumer device, our directional VisiMic microphone captures only
what the camera can see. By allowing sound waves to pass through a sonic tunnel
inside the device, any sound outside the camera’s field of view is not recorded.
No noise filtering, just physics.


VisiMic.

Field of View on a webcam for the first time. Our Mic technology can filter out
the loudest background sounds.


 * LENS TO IMPRESS.
   
   With an f1.8 lens letting in as much light as a professional camera.
   
   


 * TAP TO MUTE™
   
   tap the capacitive USB-C button at anytime to mute your microphone.
   
   


 * WHAT’S INSIDE
   THE BOX.

   everything you need to get your video up and running. Both for Macs and PCs,
   no software needed.
   
   With every purchase you get access to the Opal Composer app for Mac and a
   continuous stream of updates.
