Obsbot has launched the Meet Flip, a compact 4K webcam priced at $119. Instead of a plastic shutter, it uses a folding mechanism for privacy.
After debuting in China last month, the camera is now available worldwide through Obsbot's website, Amazon, and select retailers.

Inside, the webcam features a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor with an f/1.8 aperture. It records 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps.
Phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) helps lock onto subjects quickly, reducing focus hunting. HDR support balances lighting, such as when sitting near a bright window.
For audio, it has a dual-microphone setup with one directional and one omnidirectional mic. Four audio modes are available: directional, dual-directional, omnidirectional, and raw stereo output.
