The Flip Video Ultra

Everyone loves a high power, low maintenance, easy to use gadget. When it looks like a fun toy, so much the better. The new Flip Video Camera is a fun alternative to your clunky handheld strap-over-your-hand video camera. It makes video blogging as well as adding video to YouTube easier, more fun, and a much more enjoyable experience than ever before.

From the four fun color choices - including green (pictured) and fuchsia - to your choice of the 30 or 60 minute models, the Flip gives you everything you need for seamless, easy video file sharing in one compact camcorder.

A few of the Flip Ultra’s great features include:

• One-touch recording with 2x digital zoom
• 1.5 inch color playback screen
• Instant playback, review and delete features
• Play videos directly from the camcorder to any TV
• Uses AA batteries
• Built-in software for instant viewing, editing, and sharing
• One-click emailing

The Flip Video Ultra can be found everywhere from Costco to Toys “R” Us, and the $149.99 price tag seems small when you consider it has a preview screen and offers the simplicity of one-touch recording and built in software that makes uploading a breeze.

Really, the Flip is the perfect excuse to add video to your blog, send videos of the kids to relatives, and start really documenting the world around you. A video camera that can fit in a purse or fanny pack is an accessory that can make everything more fun, from a day at the beach to a picnic in the backyard.
