flip ultra HD is better than expectedReviewed by R. Stern, 2010-03-16
My company bought a similar model for employees. I played with one for a few minutes and decided to buy one for myself. Better than any video camera that I have owned in past and much, much lower in cost. Performs perfectly and the video is sharp as a nail. Great for general video, not for macro.
FLIP is a FLOP! Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 MinutesReviewed by L. Mcgilligan, 2010-03-16
FLIP is a FLOP! Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes
As modern parents on the go we had a scheduling conflict this
weekend. My husband was with our youngest at a hockey tournament
and I was with our oldest at the State Wrestling Finals. Because of
the seating at the arenas and fast motion of the players, he took
the Canon Camcorder. A week before the meet, we ordered the Flip
UltraHD Camcorder so I can video our sons wrestling matches.
We charged the OEM battery for 24 hours before using it. We
recorded a couple minutes to get a feel for how it works. The
camera is basically very simple to use. When you're used to a
professional grade video recorder it almost seems too simple.
We packed it up for the weekend with all of the optional
accessories, carry case, rubber sleeve, additional rechargeable
NiMH batteries (Just in case....) I even brought the laptop so I
can use the USB port to charge the unit between matches.
I was able to video his first match which lasted all of three
minutes. When getting ready for the second match, I pressed the
power button to get the correct visual setting and nothing! No
power it was dead! Not only was I upset that a brand new camera was
dead, I also missed recording the last four matches of his Junior
Wrestling Career! Memories gone!!!
Sunday night I sent an email to tech support explaining the
situation in detail. I got the standard email, "Did you charge the
battery fully?... What type of port did you plug it into, press the
power and red buttons at the same time...." It was still dead as a
door nail! They were not very helpful.
I got tired of the email chain with Tier 1 tech support. So, I
called Tech Support instead. That was just as comical as the
emails. He notified me that I had a 30 day Warranty. I quickly
checked the website where it clearly stated that the Warranty is 90
days. Keep in mind they only warranty their products for 90 days, I
don't think they have much trust in their products with a 90 day
warranty! It's sad when Tech support has no idea the Warranty of
the products. I also had to push them hard for an RMA.
I now have the RMA and the unit is going back. After losing the
memories of my child's last wrestling tournament forever, I'm not
sure I can trust FLIP with any more of my family's precious
memories. I've been a long time Canon customer and feel bad that I
strayed from the family. We have 20 years of footage shot on Canon
cameras it's time to go back! Just because the camera is
inexpensive doesn't mean your footage is unimportant.
Ruby's MomReviewed by Eugene E. Brown, 2010-03-15
I really love this little camera. My niece stationed over in
Okinawa has one and sends videos of the baby all the time., so I
inquired of her to see if she "loves" it and
she did., so I bought one. We have an Alaskan Cruise coming up in
May and I am going to take along. I love my investment.
Fun, Easy; Have a Few SuggestionsReviewed by E. Thomson, 2010-03-15
Overall, very fun and easy to use. I suggest buying the following
items though.
1) an extension USB cord
2) better carrying case than what it comes with
3) the AC adapter as it takes me about 2 hours for it to charge on
my computer
4) the videos are in mp4 format, so you might need to buy a
converter software; I did for about $29.
Terrible customer serviceReviewed by M. Russell, 2010-03-13
I am assuming that I got a lemon Flip Ultra HD for Christmas in 2009. My unit seems to record OK but will not play back the video after about 5 seconds of viewing either on the Flip or the computer. The audio is OK but no video. I have contacted the customer service email and received one response, I followed their directions, immediately replied to them and haven't heard from the company since. Now I'm stuck with a piece of junk and can't record my grandkids. I am VERY unhappy with their product and especially their customer service. If they do resolve this problem I will update this review.
