Very nice review, and the most entertaining one I've seen so far. The flip sounds like the perfect companion for everyday outings and footage, and while I'm very satisfied with my Panny Mini DV camcorder, I am seriously thinking about getting a Flip Ultra for spontaneous stuff. Thanks for the nice review.
My little sister had one of these and she used it to start her own RUclips channel (oh the irony isn't lost on me!) back then like a lot of kids did. Because it was so easy to use and the quality was so good it was an instant hit. Until of course the iphones etc. kicked back with their first HD megapixel cameras built-in to their handsets and then the filming capacity & options were facilitated and increased and this piece of kit slowly became antiquated. Bit like the Polaroid and the wind-on, flashbulb cameras suddenly became awash in a sea of readily available, all-in-one & affordable speed-shutter Canons and Nikons back in the mid to late 1980's ;)
Lucky you. Be cus I JUST got mine today and I plugged it into a wall and fried it. It was special to me. Vary vary special. And now I won't get another for a vary vary long time. :( 👎👎☹️😔
My flip came with a rechargeable battery pack that charges when it's plugged into the usb but if i'm out and the battery runs low I can pop in some spare AAs - one of the major selling points for me.
yah i don't the connection either but i just went and bought a usb extension thing... it was a dollar at the dollar store and it works fine... i also agree with the charger part... but it's still a great camera for the price
Some of these features make the product worse. I'd rather have a charger than batteries. And I would rather have a wire connecting to the usb instead of the flippy thing, due to the fact that my usb is on the side, so it may damage it.
Why dont they compare this camera to Canon digital cameras, and not the 1990's camera? Come on! Compare it to Canon 1100! And see which is better :) and the two are like the same price these days!!!!!
@Addie52 for $150 might as well buy a Canon digital camera, it takes GREAT pictures and H video. This review is bad because they compare it to old cameras, cant trust reviews like this!
No GoPro actually has been around since the early 2000's, but they didn't really start to get popular until 2013/14. The first model Flip Video camcorder was released in 2006.
I'll be filming the summer of 2021 on this
That's so cool. Charging my old flip rn to see if it works
i tried charging it for 3 to 6 hours but my screen says “Connected” but it just freezes is there an actual new fix for this?
@@skittl_e try using AA batteries
This is like the PC vs Mac commercials.
1:03 this took a dark turn 😂
"self-portraits" "tape" "aol video"
This did not age well at all
Technology never does.

Yeah why are they filming kids at a park? You do that today and you'll be arrested.
does the flip ultra take a long time to upload to your computer?
and is it easy to organize the videos?
Im sold. Im get ting one next week.
The people need an update

Size, battery life, max recording times, and some of the accesories are different.

I have one
Before I phones came along
@apricotsnms516 you could use NiMH rechargables, like I do.
60 minutes is a ton if u think about it, just move stuff to your computer before it fills up
Oldest video to date that i have seen
