Audio Features (1.00)
The Flip UltraHD features a built-in stereo microphone—an upgrade over the mono mic featured on the Kodak Zx1. The mic is located on the front of the camcorder, to the left and right of the fixed lens. The stereo audio is compressed using the AAC codec. Even with stereo audio, the quality is about what you would expect from a camcorder of its size and price—which is to say it's not very good. In windy conditions the mic picks up a lot of rustling, and even in ideal settings voices often sound muffled and crackly.
