4 Stars Nice alternative to traditional camcorder
My wife and I are having a child, so we decided to get a camcorder. In looking at all of the available options out there, we started to look into the Flip style pocket cams vs. the traditional camcorder route. We knew we wanted HD, but I didn’t want to spend $400 and up for a traditional style camcorder. When we started thinking about all the ways we would use it (clips of the baby for emailing to the grandparents, etc) the Flip style video recorders started to really shine. Add in the Flipshare software, and this thing is just about perfect for our needs. The camera itself is tiny, like fit in your pocket tiny, so I am apt to take it more places without fear of destroying it (the beach, etc). The HD video is superb so long as you have good light and are not panning quickly. I do not think it is as good as some of the higher price point camcorders out there, but we are talking about 1/4 the price here, for what I think are very acceptable levels of performance. The Flipshare software is pretty intuitive, you set up emails that can join your “channel” and when you plug your camera in via the convenient USB port to upload video, they are alerted to a new video for them to watch. Really makes it easy to share via the web. You can also burn to DVD. Overall, I am impressed. I would like to see newer models include such features as image stabilization, and perhaps better zoom (almost non-existent, and since it’s digitial, probably wouldn’t recommend using it anyways).

4 Stars Portability Fun!
I’d have to say the same things about the Flip UltraHD that’s been said hundreds of times! I would defintely but the UltraHD rather than the Flip Ultra Camcorder 2nd Generation, 120 Minutes (White)

Two problems however. One is the zooming, it only zooms 2x. I’d like for it to zoom at least 4x and I wouldn’t care if the lens had to come out very far from the camcorder!

And, of course, my biggest concern. No, not the audio quality! No, not even the fact that this camcorder has no image stabilizer. But the fact that this camcorder has no MACRO!!! This basically means whenever you close-in on an object (e.g. a cell phone screen), the image BLURRRRRRRRRS out!

In the end, I say this is a good “starter” camcorder. What are you waiting for, buy it!

5 Stars Love it!
I bought this as I’m getting ready to build a new house and wanted to have a video record of the build process. Last time I just took pictures, and thought it would be cool to have videos this time. I want to be able to easily upload to a house blog that I’m creating so friends and relatives can follow the process. The week after I got it I attended my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary and took the Flip along with me. I took about 18 different clips and then easily made them into a movie with the Flip software. The FlipShare software allows you to share by email or uploading to a Flip channel. Needless to say, they were thrilled with the end result when I sent them a copy. I only wish I owned this when my parents had their 50th anniversary! The HD video is very clear even when enlarged to full screen. It comes partially charged so I was video taping 5 minutes after I opened it up. It’s very user friendly and fun to use.

5 Stars Works Great Videoing Moving Horses
I bought this Flip UltraHD even though I already had an older flip camcorder, still working by the way, they both work the same except this new on has more sensitive controls, another words the buttons work better. I do a lot of horse videos so the wider screen format makes it so much easier to follow the horses as they speed by. I had a very expensive HD camcorder already but the flip is so handy I carry it around in my shirt pocket and get more videos that way. I don’t miss having to hook up the two cables and figure out what program to use to take video off the old expensive camcorder with a weird .MOD format that does not work with most of my software, I had to covert videos with yet more software. With the flip I just plug it in to the usb port, the flip software starts automatically and then I can choose what videos I want to keep. This is a real no brainer other than you may like the mino flipHD it is smaller, but I have big hands so I chose this one. The video color and brightness is very good.

4 Stars Good Beginners HD Camcorder
I was very excited to receive my Flip Ultra HD camcorder to begin filming everything and anything. It is so portable you can really take it anywhere and after seeing the quality of the camera on youtube I was very impressed I had to purchase it. When I got the device I instantly filmed a few test videos to see the quality, and it wasn’t that impressed. The best quality you can get from what I have found is outside. The visuals look great and the colors stand out. I guess I might be used to HD images but the quality looked 480p/540p. It could just be my device but indoor shots with decent lighting were just average, I really didn’t get that wow effect compared to the videos I saw on youtube.

Other than that, I am extremely satisfied with the portability of the camera. It is so small and fits in your pocket so you can really take it anywhere. I plan on filming a lot with this device and the flipshare software was very easy to use. I am a beginner to video editing and using iMovie HD has been semi difficult but I am figuring it out. Once I used the included Flipshare software, I was able to make a great movie in seconds! Very easy to use which is what I liked. I recommend this camcorder for anyone looking for simple point and shoot video. The HD is an added bonus although my device doesn’t really look HD but again it could just be a lemon. Buy this camera you will have a blast using it!

4 Stars I like this camera
this camera does what I need it to do and is so easy to operate. Wish I had had it years ago!

3 Stars So far, not impressed
I bought this flip camcorder battery pack for my daughters flip video. I like not eating up AA batteries. The literature that came with the battery said that when it was charged, the red light on the front of the camcorder would go off. I left the thing plugged into my computer for 12 hours and the light never went off. I let it charge like that twice and neither time did the light go off indicating that it was fully charged. Now, don’t get me wrong. The battery does work, but I don’t know if it lasts as long as it’s supposed to or if it is fully charging. I don’t like guessing games. So far it has underwent three charges and still works ok. My daughter has not said anything about it going out quickly, so it is just ok for now.

1 Star flip video
Really dont like this camera. Shakey video makes it hard to watch . Cant really tell when the battery is fully charged. The instructions say the red light will go out when it is charged but the one I have the red light blinks. Nothing in the instructions say what to do with a blinking light. Charges some times other times it does not.

2 Stars Good battery; If you can charge it!
They overheat when charging; At least they do for me. The one that came with the camera and the 2nd one I purchased here. I would not buy this even for $12. I bought it when it cost more and wish I had just purchased some good rechargeable AAs instead. They are a much better and can be used for more than just your Ultra HD camera. As long as you have a Flip camera that can use them that is.

1 Star rechageable battery pack
The battery pack that I bought did not take a charge. Tried it numorous time. My background is electronics, and I think that they were just old.

1 Star buyer beware
A word of caution, this item was included in a “combo” package with the Flip camcorder, the problem is my camcorder uses AA bateries and can’t be charged with this power adapter. So it’s never been used.

3 Stars Flip Video Power Adapter for me is so so
I almost returned this. Flip rechargeable batteries have a problem recharging with message coming up saying “charging paused”. They do this being recharged using Flip Video Power Adapter or my computer. However, the batteries then seem to work in the camera ??? Meanwhile I am always armed with regular AA batteries.

3 Stars works, but wierd configuration
i got this power adapter for my flip video hd. after contacting the company as to why it wasn’t working, they gave me instructions to do this and that and it seemed to charge after that. this adapter has the port on the bottom so it makes it akward to use as my flip has the usb arm on the side. i have to make a sling to support the camcorder while it’s charging. the setup is a bit funky but the charger does seem to work.

1 Star Nickel and dimed
[I don't know if it was intended to be this way, but this is textbook nickel and diming the valued customer. The Flip camcorder comes without a charger and the proprietary charger (this one) comes without a charging cord.]

I thought I’d get the charger for my Flip MinoHD because its non-removable battery can only be charged through a computer USB port OR the Flip’s own adapter and I CAN imagine instances where I don’t want to carry a laptop around so that I could charge a pocket-sized camcorder. I also did not like the way the MinoHD plugs into the laptop and hangs there, charging for hours, suspended by the USB arm.

Well… $24.95 later (that’s what I paid at the Flip site) it turns out that there’s just ‘one more thing’ needed to make this work the way I want it to. I couldn’t imagine it possible and I didn’t check before ordering but the charger came WITHOUT a cord so the MinoHD has to hang off the charger by its USB arm again while the charger itself plugs into the wall outlet (weird).

I really wish the Flips were compatible with standard chargers. The way they are now, while allowing us to take good videos on the cheap, they also complicate life more than they should. It’s one star because I don’t like its design/ergonomics, I don’t like the concept of asking the customer to spend more on a NEEDED wire and because I’m returning it.

________________________________

Note:

I found that the USB Travel Charger for SanDisk Sansa Clip/ Sansa Fuze/Sansa View/Sansa e200 is perfect at charging my MinoHD and almost a steal, pricewise. You will need a cord, unless you want your MinoHD hanging off its USB charging arm while charging.

4 Stars I Flipped For This!
I’ve noticed several complaints about this product, but many of these were in conjunction with the Flip Mino, whereas I have the Flip UltaHD. I received the Adapter and it’s a piece of cake. I’ve used it several times with no problem. My only gripe is having to use something to prop up the video and adapter against the wall because I don’t want the video to “hang”, but otherwise it works fine. I was able to charge the battery pack in 3.5 to 4 hours.
