 L-O-V-E this camcorder! November 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this camera last Christmas for my 13 year old son. While he has used it himself, I have found it to be so simple that I use it way more than he ever has. Push a button to turn it on, push the red botton to record, and you are off to the races. It cannot be any easier.
At first, I tried uploading my videos directly to Photobucket (photo and video sharing site), but it was painfully slow. Now I just plug the Flip into a USB port on my PC and then upload each file to YouTube or save them to a location on the PC's hard drive. Takes anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes on YouTube, depending on the length of the video. Super simple.
Great item for those who want to cut to the chase. I don't think I would've ever tried loading anything to YouTube had it not been for how easy this camcorder is to operate. It's so easy to share events and holidays with family and friends who aren't near.
Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Orange) November 22, 2008
This is THE coolest little camera, bar none. It is about the size of a 110 camera, very easy to use, and the orange and white gives eye-relief from all the traditional black or blue electronics! Very fun video camcorder that will make you a star on Youtube, Metacafe, or Live Leak!
 Does not work and no help from company November 22, 2008

I ordered my product in may 2008 but was not able to actually use it until Nov 2008 for various reasons. The first time I attempted to connect my Flip Video to my PC, it did not work. I tried other PCs as well to ensure it was not a computer issue. With nothing working from the camera I contacted customer support. Bottom line answer..too bad, out of warranty, nothing can be done for you. I'm sure the video is a wonderful tool but the fact that the company will not get one to me that actually works taints my opinion about the company. I will no longer recommend this product to any of my colleagues or friends simply by the poor customer support. There are too many other products on the market and companies that do not support their product are off my list. I would have paid to have the camera repaired knowing that it is my fault it was not used prior to becoming out of warranty but that is not an option. Buyer Beware!
GREAT gift idea for a GREAT PRICE November 19, 2008
I bought the black Flip Video for my husbands birthday, which he loved. It is easy to use and fits in your pocket or back. I knew this was going to be a great gift, so I bought my self the pink one and it is great. I taped the husbands birthday party and it was nice to have the freedom of just pulling it out of my pocket when I thought it would be nice to video. Forget the days of getting the V.C. out of the bag. Simple functions and easy to use as soon as you take it out of the box.
If you are looking for that great gift, with out spending a fortune, This is it
A great deal November 19, 2008
I bought the flip a few days prior to birth of my first child. We used in while my wife was in labor and it worked out great. Since all our immediate family came, but they could not all be in the delivery room, we were able within minutes of the delivery to share the video with them.
It works easy, just like it says. The only other comment is that my laptop USB plugs are not at the same height as the USB plug on the flip, so I end up propping up my laptop about 1/3 of an inch so that they line up better.
