For a first time owner of a video camera this would be a great starting point. True, it dose not come close to handling hand shakes like my Cannon DV camera, but I was still impress nonetheless.īuying Advice: I really think these little flash video cameras are going to be come more and more populer as time goes on. I am also impressed with the lack of shakiness I got from the camera. I can tell you from my experience that the quality of the video looks a lot better then what ends up on youtube. One that ended up on youtube and you can see that here. Since I have received the Flip, I have edited two movies with it. However, I had no trouble copying the video of the Flip Ultra onto my computer and editing it with iMovie on my Apple Macintosh.

It’s built in software that runs from the camera allows for basic video editing and uploading to youtube (weather you use Macintosh or Windows). The unit comes with a built-in USB plug that connects easily to any computer. I pretty much have it with me all the time now.
It is so small and easy to take with you anywhere you go. The first thing I really love about this little digital video recorder is the size. In other words, it dose a damn good job for what it is. The Ultra comes with a built in 2GB of flash memory that allows for an hour of recording of video in 640×480 resolution at 30 frames per second, using the MPEG-4 ASP video compression. Hannah got me the Flip Ultra because it takes 2 AA batteries and she knows I’m currently on a kick of any electronics that take batteries you can easily find in a store. Just depends one where you do your shopping.
I have seen the Flip run for as high as $180.00, and as low as $120.00. There are two different models of the Flip video camera made by Pure Digital Technologies. Last month I received a Flip Ultra digital camera as a birthday present from Hannah.
