Flip Video Ultra review

 

YouTube's influence, it seems, knows no bounds. Not only has it inspired a daily, global version of You've Been Framed , Flip Video UK and Creative have even made mini camcorders whose sole aim is to let you shoot and upload videos without the fuss of...

Flip Ultra

 

Web User looks at a stripped-down, point-and-shoot video camera designed to make video sharing as easy as possible.

Flip Video Ultra

 

The Flip Video Ultra may be easy to use and highly portable, but the myriad features missing is unforgivable.

Flip Ultra-HD

 

The Flip UltraHD is unlike any other pocket camcorder we've reviewed off late. It's simply a point-and-shoot camcorder and though it might not change the way we record videos it surely is one

Flip Ultra Camcorder Review

 

If you want to take high quality videos, look elsewhere. The Flip, however, provides a quick and easy way to post video online at YouTube or other websites and/or to send it to friends. The convenience that the Flip offers makes you want to carry it...

Flip Ultra

 

Really simple to use, I brought the camera for my 12 year old daughter she has used it with ease including making a documentary for a school project with no problems at all. I have used it myself and as a real novice with any kind of technology I give...
