Flip Mini Camera Blog

I like to do a video review of the Flip Video Ultra, but there are many details to be filled, I think the video format can be boring. First, the Flip Video Ultra is an appropriate class. This is purely an ultra-portable recorder video for occasional use. It will not replace your $ 12,000 Sony prosumer model or even $ 800 Sony, Canon or Pansonic. Instead, the Flip Video Ultra is an extremely portable, measuring about 2. 25 cm wide by 4 inches high and just over an inch thick. Powered by two AA batteries, can record 60 minutes or – surprise – more video. In my experiments, I recorded almost 2 hours of video on a Flip Video Ultra. There is no great secret here: if you save a relatively small movement can stretch your recording time. Therefore, for recording lectures of his version of “My Dinner with Andre, the Flip might work better than expected. The Video 640 x 480 VGA is surprisingly good. Sharpness not theatrical quality, but much better than camera cellphone occur. Action is recorded smoothly with little or no defects. The ability of the exhibition is excellent. I tried it on scenes ranging from a sunny street lit outdoors with great contrasts of dark road lit only by passing cars. A good detail in all conditions with little blocking. Pretty amazing, really. By the way, another critic complained that the goal can be easily scratched. This is not true . The real purpose is behind and is protected by a cover glass or plastic. To date, shows no susceptibility to being easily scratched. If so, it seems that held in place by a metal factory. What Whether the substitution of the user authorization, do not know, but if the lens cover is damaged, I am sure he would be replaced. The unit has what appears to be a 2x digital zoom, which is a nice touch . The Flip Video Ultra is a very nice piece of design. The battery compartment latch is in the background and is very resistant to accidental opening. There is also an outlet on the tripod. It is mounted on center I find it regrettable because this device would be an ideal candidate for the Quik Pod Pro + with all the accessories tripod legs, a pocket camera mount that allows you to register yourself and a companion or two in their own videos. It is really a very clever device, but outside the center of the tripod on the cover makes it too difficult to use. In the rear on the right side is a sliding switch to turn the unit on and off . Once again, the switch is very well designed and very difficult to move accidentally. In the back of the lid is 1. 5 “transflective screen that can be seen even in bright daylight. It’s more than enough for casual videomaking. There is a rocker switch with 4 courses on the screen. In this way, four have a red button in the center that controls the registration. is on the side hard to use, requiring you to use a fingernail to depress stop and start recording. They have obviously done this way to avoid starting and stopping, but they did their job too well. It’s a bit annoying to boot properly and stop recording. But at least not be making any accidental recording with this device. The rocker switch is multi-purpose. playback volume is controlled from here, as is the digital zoom in playback mode, moving from one clip to another. There is a play button to the left of the 4 lanes and a delete button to the right. It could not be simpler. My only complaint is that the recording start and stop function is not as nimble as it could be. The response time is excellent unity. Once they get that pesky start button, the camera starts recording almost instantly. The audio quality is certainly excellent. The voice microphone is sensitive and close are recorded without distortion. Some people do not see the usefulness of the Flip Video Ultra, pointing out that their digital cameras also have video. Yes, many do. But few offer the possibility of recording more than an hour of 640×480 video at a time. Most can not hold an hour of video on a single card. And few are so small and compact as the Flip Video Ultra. Thus, comparing the top with digital cameras does not fly. The Flip is the kind of thing you can take with you all the time and whip into action fairly quickly (but thanks to that pesky record switch, not quickly enough) to capture something beautiful children are doing, or something that happening around you. Bloggers, blossoming independent journalists and artists of all kinds will love the cover. Parents who are in the recording of beautiful moments of your children will also love. And frankly, it’s a good thing to bring up in your pocket when you travel. The Flip is one of those rare gadgets that can appeal to many types of people for different reasons. The real beauty of the cover is getting the video from the camera and computer. Simply plug into a USB port. That’s all. The USB connector switch up the top. design really smooth, reflecting a very innovative vision. Connection brings an idiot proof interface for video on your computer. (There is an option to record on DVD through authorized dealers who have not tried.) Does the two step process of transfer. Simplicity personified. Flip also includes a trial version of muvee autoProducer, which can more or less edit video clips into a presentable format by applying artificial intelligence. It works more or less, and for many people may be just what they need or want. We warned: there is a marketing message that includes promises that 20% discount on the full version of muvee auto. But guess what? The “special treatment” takes you to the version 5 product, not the shipping time to that version 6 can upgrade for $ 39. 95 more. You know what? Who takes full suggested retail price of the current product. This type of “special offer” has an unpleasant odor to it. I wrote two Pure Digital, makers of the eyelid, and Muvee to see if this is just an unfortunate mistake (ie, the offer was embedded in the software before the new version is out) or if just an attempt to clear rip-off. In the case of being attracted by the offer “special” in the Muvee software, I suggest you see for yourself. I’m obviously a quick convert to the fold. I think it’s a great camera and more than adequate substitute for heavier equipment in appropriate situations. I thought about doing some video blogs for a project that requires one-on-one interviews. I buy one or two Flip Video Ultras, some 4 light Grounderand SECTION Tripod with a flashlight or two, enough with two or three camera setup. The quality is more than adequate for web distribution and, depending on circumstances, even for DVD distribution to a business audience. Obviously, I am impressed by the Flip Video Ultra. Not only has a very high cool factor, but a very useful factor altos.JerryCalificación: 5 / 5

It was bought as a Christmas gift and only 12 of December, so I have no opinion yet. . . It looks good? Rating: 5 / 5
