I recently purchased the Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (Black) and I have to say it is really cool.
And just the other day, BusinessWeek ran a story about the Flip, Pure Digital Flips the Scrip. What is not surprising is there have been nearly 1 million of this little wonder sold since it debut, May 2007.
The Flip is about the size of a regular digital camera and it can fit right in your pocket. The Ultra will hold up to 60 minutes of digital video and all you have to do to download it is plug it into your computer’s USB port. It really is that easy to use. The only disadvantage I can come up with is the screen you use to view what you are doing or review videos is a bit small.
And the price is amazing. It sells for less than $150.00 in most locations.
I bought one of the Flip cameras before it was called the Flip. It is pretty cool - I used it to cut the videos on my website. Problem is that with my model, there’s no jack for the mic and that means that the sound is poor quality.
From what I have seen from my own use and from watching others video podcast made with the Flip, the quality has improved.
