 Flipping super fun

| | See all Gaddys's reviews (1)

This is super fun to use and so simple.Very easy to download onto computer,only a few buttons to worry about.Quality is excellent considering its size and 60 min recording space is plenty.Handy size no bigger than a mobile phone so fits into pockets and hand bags.Ready to use as soon as you turn it on.

This is not for the serious camcorder user, it is just plain simple fun.

 Superb camcorder, no fuss & well designed

5/5 stars for this compact and well designed piece of kit.
If you don't like touch sensitive buttons the opt for this 'Ultra' Flip, easy one touch record button and playback. Not just for under 30's it's also easy enough to buy for OAP's, terrific gift idea for non-techies.
No need to download software and easy editing options.
Well worth every penny, robust feel and decent image definition....enjoy!:o)

 Oh Flip!

I saw this item on the web, did some research thinking that this is was to good to be true, but it is great. Can hardly believe it, it is very simple to use and the picture quality is magic. Love it. Just plug it in to your p.c. / laptop save it or send it. A lot of fun. 10 out of 10.

 Overall good value for money

I had my eye set on the Flip Mino HD, but after hearing the touch sensitive buttons can cause problems while recording, I decided to go for the lesser Flip Ultra and save the £40.

There isn't much to cover other than the Flip ultra does what it says it will, a reasonably priced, small, good quality video camcorder with direct upload capability.

My only niggles with this camcorder is that it is slightly bigger than I had anticipated (larger than the average mobile phone) and that the screen seems very small when compared with other rival camcorders and mobile phones.

If size is on the top of your priorities then I'd say the more expensive Flip Mino HD is suited better for you.

I can't complain with the quality of the Flip Ultra and the value for money, but I'm still not decided on whether I wished I had went for the Flip Mino HD instead.
