This is a sweet little unit. I was very surprised at the picture quality and delighted with the small size. Another reviewer's suggestion of using an extension USB cable is essential, as many computers just don't have room, or the USB ports are difficult to reach, to allow plugging the camera in directly.
It works seamlessly with iMovie on the Mac, making the editing process a breeze.
However, my unit was unable to update its software when connected to a Mac. Flip tech support suggested I find a PC and see if that worked; an unacceptable response for a unit which is supposed to be Mac and PC compatible (reluctantly, I did try that, and it, too, failed.) In addition, when charging with a USB port, I got frequent "check battery - charging halted" error messages. Without a real battery level indicator, I suspect that we'll compromise and use alkaline batteries instead of the furnished battery pack. At least then I'll know how fresh the battery is every time.
It is great fun and its size will allow filming in places where a full-size camera would be cumbersome, if not impossible.Get more detail about Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black).
