The Flip Video Ultra

The Flip Video Ultra is a stylish hand-held digital video recorder. Gone are the days of cumbersome connectivity wires, tapes, and loose photo cards. Record your memories instantaneously without fuss or complication. With a flip of your thumb, a USB arm is ready to launch built-in software and transfer your videos onto your computer.

This little recorder runs on two AA batteries and has room for a tripod mount and television playback capabilities. At a reasonable price, the Ultra series comes in either a 30-minute or 60-mintue recording capacity. You can choose from a variety of fun colors (black, white, pink, orange and green) and accessories. The most popular accessory is the underwater case. You will be able to record at the beach, pool, rain or sporting events without fear of ruining your camera.

The most important feature is the quality of your finished product. Yes, Flip Video Ultra is easy to use, and yes, you can practically do it with your eyes closed, but is it worth the money? Since Flip Video has taken thirteen percent of the camcorder market within the year of its release, one is safe to say “yes”. Simplicity has finally taken a stand in the world of over-embellished technology.
