 good but........... September 4, 2010

i like the flip ultra hd but if your thinking of taking it on holiday a few things you need to know, because the flip
doesn't come with a wall charger.
the flip's supplied battery pack has been modified so it can only be charged through a pc's usb port
and takes 6hrs to fully charge, ive tried various usb wall plugs (4 plus a usb car charger) and none of them will charge it.
so if you want to charge it on holiday take a laptop or....
take rechargable batteries, yes, but you wont be able to charge them in the flip because its been modified
too so only the official batteries can be charged in it, so you will have to take your own batteries and wall charger as well.
(not as portable as i was expecting)
it doesn't come with any leads so i urge you to buy a usb extention lead as the flip hangs on the side of a computers usb port
and will get knocked one day and possibly snapped off.
if your planning on watching it on your h/d tv you will need a hdmi to mini hdmi lead as it does not come with one.

Excellent, was bit dubious about buying but the missus wanted one. Simply point, press and record till the action stops* or arm gets tired* (delete as applicable). Need to get a better PC now to run the videos and get the HD benefit.

My camcorder arrived in record time. had a little practice at home and was so impressed that such a small gadget could work so well. It was used mainly by my daughter on holiday and most people that we met were impressed with it's performance for something so small. Would definitely recommend.
Flip ultra HD, best pocket camera around IMO August 25, 2010

This camera is awesome, well worth the money and is the best of it's kind. The picture quality is great, and the sound is good as well (which surpirsed me a little tbf). The only fault I can give it, is the picture in low lighting in doors, it looks quite grainy, especially when there is a large contrast of brightness (as in your in a dark room with the door open to a light room), but this said this is something I expect from all pocket camcorders, and would only get worse on different makes and models. So overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Initial problems with charging the battery pack but these were resolved by going to the flip web site. It will not charge when connected via a USB extension lead. It is fine connected directly to my laptop. Since then battery life has been excellent.
The software is basic but easy to use and enables videos to be combined. Portrait videos cannot be rotated or mixed with landscape videos. I need to investigate other software for more advanced editing.
The flip has proven easy to use and great fun. It is pocket size so can be carried easily. I am far more likely to use this than a "normal" camcorder.
