Customer Review: Flip Ultra "A great mini camcorder"
Summary: 5 Stars
The Flip Ultra 120 is a great mini camcorder. The best thing about it is it's size and ease of use. The price is great considering the quality, and alot cheaper than buying it brand new from a store. It has everything you need to record your videos right out of the box and comes with AA batteries, strap, soft case, quickstart guide, and TV cable to watch your videos on your televison. It also has built-in Flip software that is great to save, arrange, and handle your projects.(you can also use your PC if you want too) The built-in USB arm connecter plugs right into your PC or laptop. The quality is excellent and the audio is good. Mac compatible. So far the only down side was that the lense cannot handle extreme light, ie. a sun rise when recorded appears to have a black dot in the center.Customer Review: Great little camcorder for all those great little moments
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Flip as a family gift after seeing them at a professional meeting (I am a teacher.) My husband had been saying for years that we needed a video camera. This one is perfect for us. We aren't film makers by any means and are really more of a photograph family. This little guy is great, though. We were able to record the first snow of the season and quickly email it to our family in Florida. It is also pretty good for the school plays and sporting events. Considering how compact the camera is, the video quality is pretty good. For the value, you really can't beat it! I also love the software that allows you to add music to your video. My only wish is that I had purchased a rechargeable battery when I purchased the camera. That is a must!Customer Review: ATTENTION MAC USERS
Summary: 5 Stars
I made the mistake of buying another similar video camera after the salesman and the box it came in said "Mac Compatable" . After spending one weekend on the phone with APPLE and RCA I learned it is only MAC compatable if you download about 6 patches and five applications and stand on your head while reciting the alphabet backwards. Back to the store for a quick exchange for the FLIP which my salesman said was not as good at the first one (not true). I brought it home and it was plug and play. Its great for a party video, a clip of the kids or dog but I wouldnt use it for the school play. The zoom is limited , but thats the only thing that is limited. The quality is very good and it fits right in my pocket.Customer Review: FLIP Ultra
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife uses the FLIP in her classroom as a teacher. She reports that it is excellent on all counts. She can connect with her computer at school, which is primarily importnt, but cannot seem to connect on our home computer, running Windows XP, Service Pack 3, using the E: drive as a connection. She hasn't tried an additional USB port, which is diffficult to get to and might require a USB cable.
Any ideas?
This has been the only drawback; otherwise it works excllently and she is very happy with it. The price was a very good value--probably $70-80 less than other sources. She realy hasn't used it enough yet to rport onthe bttery life, so that is just an estimate.
Customer Review: i've flipped over this
Summary: 5 Stars
For a non-camera-type person, meaning someone bored with the whole idea of taking pictures, this gadget is excellent. You just hold it up and press a button, and that's it -- it films what you're aiming at. You can stand it up on a table, press the button, and film yourself doing your exercises, or in more intimate activities. And then get to see what you really look like. So it's educational. The only thing that worries me is the little arm that plugs it into the computer. It fits in so tightly that it takes quite a tug to get it out, and that little arm doesn't seem very strong. I suspect the life of this camcorder depends on the life of that arm. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the hell out of it!
