When looking for a camcorder a few months back, I wanted something that was both lightweight and would provide me with a good enough quality to make it last a while. I found both of these features – and many more with the Flip UltraHD Camcorder.
The best feature of this camcorder has to be that it is really simple to use. You honestly point it in the direction you want to film and then push the big red shinny button on the back.
Here is a sample video I took of my dog a few months back, so you can get an idea of the video quality.
Here are some of the other features worth mentioning too:
- Easy-to-use, pocket-sized HD camcorder featuring one-touch recording and digital zoom
- Simple user interface lets you start capturing HD video just seconds after powering on
- Captures 120 minutes of HD video on 8 GB of built-in memory; no tapes or additional memory cards required
- Convenient flip-out USB arm plugs directly into your PC or Mac to launch FlipShare software
- Pre-installed FlipShare software lets you easily email videos, edit individual clips, make custom movies, capture still photos from video, and even upload video to sharing sites like YouTube and MySpace
- FlipShare’s advanced compression technology allows for quick and easy sharing of high-resolution HD video in compact-sized files (via email or publishing online)
- Comes with Flip Video rechargeable AA battery pack (recharges when connected to USB); also supported by standard AA batteries
- Large 2-inch anti-glare color LCD screen to play back and delete videos
- HDMI output (mini-HDMI connector) makes it simple to watch video on your HDTV
- Video: 16:9 widescreen, HD 720p (1280 x 720) at 30 frames per second (fps) progressive scan; recorded as MP4 files
Now, I can’t hold a camcorder steady to save my life – but for people like me, you can easily screw a tripod into the bottom of the camcorder for hands free recording.
Overall, it has been a few months now, and I think I made the right purchasing decision. Having recorded more than a few birthday parties, and just my nephews and niece messing around the the backyard and can really say nothing but good things about the Flip UltraHD Camcorder.
