Flip Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (Black) OLD MODEL CustomerReview
It takes great quality video for 100 dollars.
It has about 3 buttons so it’s ridiculously easy. The design is simple and intuitive. It’s not trying to do a ton of stuff, so it’s very simple and easy to use. There is the power, record, play, and delete – that’s it!
The battery, if you use alkaline, lasts about 1.5 hours, so I NEVER watch the videos on the flip using the play button. It’s bad enough when I’m just TAKING the videos! If you get lithium batteries, it will last several hours, and is a lot better.
The USB arm is cute, but hard to get in places like the back of your computer tower.
Occasionally it will crap out on me and the screen will look gray and black and funny because it froze. It has recovered and works great 98% of the time. I think it’s done that to me maybe 3 or 4 times and I’ve owned it for a year or so. If you wait a while and then turn it back on, it is usually fine.
You can have it surprisingly far away from the action, and it will pick up the audio just fine and the things pretty far away still look good and not ridiculously far away. (I’m talking family parties etc, it does a good job capturing everybody nicely).
It can stand up on it’s own so you can put it down and film without holding it!
Very portable.
60 minutes is about the amount of time an outing takes. Occasionally I get to about the end (although sometimes it gets confused in a good way and as given me up to 20 minutes over the hour…), but rarely do I need much more than an hour, and most of the time I don’t need the full hour. A 2 hour might be nice, but I would probably end up leaving video on it for longer than on this one and then fill it up anyway!
The flip software to get the videos off is easy to use, and allows you to take snapshots of the video, but only if it’s on your camera still and you can’t put it back on your camera once it’s off. The software gets confused sometimes, but it’s good when it works. Also, it will look like it’s starting to move the videos and if you walk away you may not realize it pops up several seconds later to demand that you click Ok to a message that says, it may take a while or something. Quite annoying. I think it’s just easier to cut and paste the videos from the folder rather than using the software personally.
The little jingle it plays when it turns on and the beep it makes when you hit record, makes it incredibly obvious if you’re trying to be discreet.
Overall I have been quite pleased with it.
