Flip UltraHD review: Flip UltraHD

 

Flip UltraHD

Shoots 720p HD video; high-quality video for its class; easy to use; uses rechargeable AA batteries; FlipShare software compatible with both Mac and Windows machines.

Somewhat pricey; no memory card slot; no cable included for HD output to HDTVs.

The Flip Video UltraHD may not be the sexiest mini camcorder out there, but it offers a respectable feature set and some of the best video we've seen from this type of cheap, YouTube-friendly camcorder.

The Pure Digital has launched two mini-camcorders – (1) Flip Video UltraHD that shoots 1280×720 (720p) high-definition video, and (2) the Ultra that records VGA (640×480) video. $174 priced the UltraHD has HDMI port and 2 inches anti-glare...

FlipShare software for both Windows and Mac, high-quality video in its class, and shoots 720p HD video

No memory card slot for external storage; does not ship with HDMI cable; a bit more expensive

If you need one of the best high-definition and easy camcorder, then go for – Flip Video Ultra HD. However, it is much heavier than the MinoHD due to AA batteries and lacks still capture mode. You can also check the other better choices – Creative Vado...

Flip UltraHD review

 

Flip was largely responsible for kick-starting the popularity of easy-to-use mini camcorders.

With great-looking video and an HDMI output, this is our new favourite mini camcorder.
