 Easy to use Flip Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-minutes January 21, 2008
I bought several of these Flip Ultra camcorders for Christmas presents for our family members spread over the world. They are excellent, easy-to-use, and pocket-sized, so we can take them everywhere. A great product!
nice design and easy to use January 21, 2008
I bought this video for my husband as a Christmas gift. He liked it pretty good and start to use it right away.It seemed easy enough to use. it didn't take a second to find out how to use it.
nice unit January 21, 2008
After 3 exchanges, this last unit I got back from Flip finally works now. I think they updated the firmware or whatever. 10 stars for their tech support.
The only inconvenience was to look for a UPS store to ship the thing back; and, missed the chance to take it to CES 2008 to take some video.
OTOH, I highly recommend this camcorder. (when it works of course) It is small. It is pocket sized. It is easy to use. Unlike other brands, there is nothing to flip out before you can use it. The picture quality is not bad. Low light performance is pretty good. It comes with a metal tripod hole. And for trying the unit, I pointed it to my TV one time and it took a 2-hours video with the AA batteries before the batteries ran out. The software that comes with the Flip is pretty good too.
On the down side, the batteries get very hot when I let it runs for 2 hours. There is no image stabilization. So, you better have a steady hand to hold the camcorder. But this is not major. The major problem is that the battery negative lead inside the right battery compartment is flat and it is placed inside the plastic casting. Sometimes some of the rechargeable AA batteries (ones that have a flat bottom) cannot make contact to the negative lead.
Of course the Flip can't match the performance of the Sanyo XACTI I saw in CES 2008. but for 1/10 the price of the Sanyo, the flip is a winner.

I bought this product because most of my family lives far away from me. My kids are in High School and involved in a lot of different activities. The videos I take and share with my family are priceless and a lot better than just a verbal decription. The videos are very clear and the software very easy to use. The fact that it will condense the videos for email is even better. Oh,and the kids like to use it too to share events with their friends. Everyone likes to see themselves on video. My only problem so far is the front casing where you change the batteries fell off while I was taking video of the family skiing. With my gloves on I did not notice I was actually opening the compartment and lost it.
 Worthless Junk, Poor Customer Support January 21, 2008

My experience with my Flip camera is nowhere near as glowing as many of the reviews posted. Unfortunately, I am also past the warrenty date, so I am stuck with this little paperweight. Buyer beware.
I took a few clips of my Grandaughter and decided to put them on my computer. The camera-imbedded interface came up the first time and then imediately froze up. An instructional pop-up informing of a firmware update appeared, and when the update completed, the "flip" editing and saving guides were gone, along with two of the three clips. The remaining clip somehow saved as a windows media player file. But the "easy to upload" to YouTube panel that was originally there from Flip, along with the Flip easy edit tools have vanished.
Emails to Flip have given me nothing I can use to fix the problem. The replys are all in tech-speak, which left me with a product that was obviously thrown on the market before the bugs were all removed. Worthless.
