wow
this is the best pocket cam i have ever seen its alot better than the vado and it very easy to upload to youtube.

The simplicity of this product made me review it.....
It's been a while since I wrote a review, but the simplicity and practicality of this product compels me to write one. I LOVE this product. I'm a parent of two hyper active young boys (5 and 2)and have scores of "tapes" of them using my old camcorder (another great product, but woefully short on sharing capabilities) collecting dust. The lack of sharing made us stop recording memories.

I've always been a late adopter and discovering the Flip is no exception, but since discovering this product, my wife and I have taken several videos, uploaded them to Facebook and shared them with very happy and thankful grandparents.

The device comes bundled with a USB adapter making it easy to transfer pictures to the computer. It also comes with a cable to connect to the TV. When you first plug the Flip (via the USB adapter) it asks you to download the FlipShare software (and upgrade to the new version, which you should do). The software automatically opens up when you connect the Flip to the computer and categorizes your videos. Transferring and uploading is a snap for subsequent use.

The one negative is that there isn't a direct upload possible to Facebook (MySpace, AOL and YouTube are the default options). However, as your videos are on the computer, just Choose "Other" in the upload options. Flip creates a directory of the videos on your desktop and you can upload that to Facebook.

I'm sure the HD is a superior product (and costlier) as well, but the videos are fine and I would highly recommend this product.

My Review of the Flip Ultra
My Review of the Flip Ultra.


I received the Flip Ultra a few days ago, I have to say its a great piece of technology. It is by no means a replacement for the professional user, but it is perfect for one looking to get their feet wet with basic video productions common for online outputs. Some basic thing I plan to do with the flip ultra is to make basic short films and upload them to online sites.

The packaging of the flip ultra was great, It reminded me of apples method of packaging. Its design is minimalistic and effective. There is an on button, a recording button, play button and delete button as well as 4 directional buttons. The recording quality is right where I need it. It runs on AA batteries which is great if you are inn a pinch on batteries, this is an improvement over the lithium ion batteries in the mino and minoHD. Editing is easy and recording time of 60 minutes is plenty to make short movies. This USB design is very good for laptops, not so much for desktops where the camera overhangs outside of the case. I have heard that the flip ultra conks out after about a year of use, I hope that this does not happen with mine. Until then I am very pleased with this device. 5 stars!
