Low Price Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black)

The Flip UltraHD does exactly what it says on the box, but absolutely nothing more. The video quality is fantastic for such a little camera, but it really suffers from the lack of image stabilization. Try as you might, human hands are simply not very steady, and all that tiny, tiny movement really becomes apparent in 720p. For on-the-fly recording, it's better than most alternatives. It's very bulky when compared to the Flip MinoHD, but benefits from having real buttons (as opposed to the Mino's touchscreen buttons). And of course it has twice the recording time and an HDMI output, so it requires a bigger form factor (about the same size as my HTC Touch Pro [or HTC Vuze, if you're on AT&T] phone, but about 2mm thicker). The audio was surprisingly good for such a tiny onboard microphone. I haven't filmed outdoors yet, so I don't yet know how good it does at filtering out ambient noise/wind. The built-in controls are limited to the basics: Record, stop, play, delete, zoom. When plugged into a PC the UltraHD shows up as a storage device, and the videos are accessible from the file explorer. The Flip software installer is on the UlraHD drive, and no discs are included in the packaging.

PLEASE READ: the UltraHD charges from a USB 2.0 connector, and is very picky about USB extension cables. No extension cable is included, nor is any kind of power adapter. I tried 3 USB 2.0 extension cables (all under 6ft), and it would only get a charge from 1 of them. I've read that this is a common problem with the UltraHD.Get more detail about Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black).
