It’s the Camcorder, Uncomplicated
The Flip Ultra camcorder makes it easier than ever to shoot and share video. Ultra features Flip Video’s signature shoot-and-share simplicity: just power on and press record to start capturing high-quality video in seconds.

Ultra-Spontaneous, Ultra-Fun
With 120 minutes of record time, you’ll never miss another minute again. And because it’s super-portable, Ultra lets you capture spontaneous video anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s a busy evening at your kids’ soccer match; a weekend camping trip; or simply an unplanned, everyday event, your Ultra will let you capture the moment. So you never have to say, "You should have been there."

Incredible Quality
While it may be small, Flip Ultra packs a big punch. Ultra produces video that rivals that of far more expensive camcorders. Its 4 GB of built-in memory lets you capture 120 minutes of crystal-clear video, even in low-light situations. Premier AAC audio compression means your videos will sound crisper than ever, too. The included connector cable makes it incredibly easy to watch your videos on your TV.

Great Camera -- Terrible Durability

Reviewed by KJP, 2010-03-03

I purchased the Flip Video and was instantly amazed by the simplicy and intuitive engineering of the device. I was an extremely happy customer until I needed support. Every once in a while I would turn on the camera and instead of getting a video image, I got a black screen. Restarting the unit usually took care of the issue.

Now after a year, I only get this black screen and nothing else, the camera will no longer function. I contacted Pure Digital Technologies for assistance and we began the troubleshooting process. I was told to take out the batteries for 2 days and put in fresh ones and try again. This did not work. Pure Digitals response? They informed me I was past my 90 day warranty and sorry for the inconvenience. Case closed and marked solved. They have chosen not to respond to any further requests for help.

A quick search on the net showed me that I am not alone with this problem... This appears to be occuring rather often with their product and they are unwilling to stand behind their quality if your purchase happened more than 90 days ago. This is by far the weakest link in Pure Didgital technologies flip video chain. My advice... Spend the extra $ and get another manufacturer's product that is built to last. As cool as this video camera was, consumer electronics should not be a crap shoot.

The first one I got had a problem: The amount of time recording was not the full amount that was supposed to be ( 2 hours).

Amazon sent me a new one very quick ( three days) and prepaid postage to return the defective one.

Happy with the product. More happy with the service from Amazon.

Sooooooo Easy to Use for non-technical students

The Flip Video is soooooo easy to use and produces a high quality recording. And the software makes it super easy to transfer to DVD or a flash drive, which is just what I needed for a psychology graduate school class.

Love It...

I have enjoyed this camcorder so much. It's compact size makes it easy to tuck into a purse so it's always with me. The Flip is lightweight and streamlined which is great for me. Video quality is quite good which, I confess, pleasantly surprised me. I've no complaint with battery life. It's easy and convenient to transfer videos to computer for sharing. All in all, I'm glad I bought my Flip Ultra Camcorder and definitely recommend it.

Super easy & great quality

I got this for Christmas so I've had it for a few months now and I can't even explain how much I love it. It's so easy (even my mom could use it) and all of the videos were such good quality. The sound was clear, too. Uploading it into the computer was really easy because it comes with the same connection you use for a USB drive built into the camera. The memory went further than I thought it would and I've been using if for practically 2 months straight without having to replace the batteries. The only thing that's kind of a bummer is the bottom half comes off to put the batteries in and it's kind of hard to get on and off. But like I said, replacing the batteries is rare so it's not really too much of an issue.
