As typical with Flips, it's the versatile video recording mechanism for anyone looking to videotape almost anything at the spur of the moment's notice. To begin with, it really is completely fool proof: once you get the box, there isn't any assembly necessary. Your initial assumption in regards to what buttons are the on / off switch, record button, and USB connection release etc. is going to be on the money; superb design and style. It's actually a little bit larger than all the other Flip Video Cameras, which will help it fit comfortably in your hand, even though it requires a little bit extra room in your pocket.
The Flip Ultra HD feels and looks terrific, as some other reviewers have pointed out, and easily fits in your hand nicely for long periods of time. It turns on and off instantaneously, opposed to your computer or cell phone, which means you won't need to wait a long time to get started documenting that treasured, brief moment in time. Picture quality remains superb, without being too shaky/bouncy. The latest design for picture stabilization appears to get rid of most vibrations. A good example is, when you are recording something along the side of the highway while traveling past it in your automobile. The display screen is large enough and the High definition video is awesome on big-screen playback.
The brand new 60 frames per second is substantially superior, and pretty much as clean as you will see. Frames that adjust twice as quick as the eyeball can see in contrast to the earlier 30 frames Flip Video Cameras, as a result the Flip Video Ultra HD seems super-smooth to the human eye.The USB connection is a little bit different, found on the side instead of the top, which actually makes it a lot easier to be connected to a laptop.
Otherwise it really is the very same: hassle-free, simple to connect, and you will not have to go running to locate any kind of special USB connector cable like you'll do for nearly every Digital Camera ever made it seems! However, that is actually a completely different topic/annoyance. The audio is still excellent, picking up distinctive background sounds that I had not actually noticed at the time of recording and picking up simultaneous audio and sounds together with excellent quality.
The 2-hour battery life is actually far more than you will actually need, so it's awesome. Presently there is a brand-new battery pack which is actually very easy to set up, however it does not appear to change anything else for better or worse.
The Flip Ultra HD software program continues to set the bar for all software... It is extremely easy to set up. It instantaneously starts up when I connect in the camcorder, and makes it completely obvious exactly how to download the videos, play back, freeze frames to make photos, and share. And it's a lot quicker simply because the wait time has decreased for videos to load up in comparison to the other past Flip Video Cameras. It's an easy-to-use, well-organized, layout very similar to the iPod control panel, and powerfull! If only all software was this easy to use. I highly recommend this device. The Flip Video Ultra HD is the most impressive Flip yet and well worth the money.
