Crank Up Your Flip Audio

Chuck Zimmerman

Speaking of Flip cameras. I’ll bet you were speaking of them after seeing them earlier today on AgWired. It’s a little bit of a gadget Monday to get you started on your farm communications and marketing week. You know who your gadget guru is don’t you?

So, if you’ve been wondering how to record better audio on your Flip it looks like Blue Microphones is coming to the rescue with their just announced – Blue Mikey for Flip.

As part of the new Designed for Flip™ accessory line, Mikey for Flip connects to all FlipPort™-enabled Flip video cameras and features Blue Microphones’ premium capsules for enhanced recording of everything from a whisper to a rock concert.

Mikey for Flip features two of Blue’s custom-tuned condenser capsules for professional-quality stereo recording. Users can choose between ‘Loud’ or ‘Automatic’ sensitivity settings, allowing users to record any volume level clearly, from a marching band to a wedding. Mikey for Flip also features a mic input jack for easy plug-in of additional microphones like a lavalier, handheld or corded interview microphone. Mount the Flip video camera on Mikey’s built-in tripod mount or stand it upright on Mikey’s wide base design for hands-free recording.

Of course you’ll have to wait until January since the Mikey for Flip, MSRP $69, will debut at CES 2011.
