This is my first camcorder and I couldn't be happier with it! It's so easy to use and the quality is great! Highly recommended!
Fun little video camera. Horrible software.The "flashplayer" lock-up error with Vista? The one the FAQ tells you nothing useful to fix? I barely got that far. This cute camera totally locked up three (3) Vista PC's. Total lock-up, no three-finger salute, hard reboot. Ouch. I hate having to do that.Product support non-existent. Wrote snotty email, got automated reply. FAQ utterly devoid of useful info.Finally downloaded the "new" flipshare app from the product website AND loaded new onboard firmware. All told, between dowloads/uploads/firmware and basic on-my-own troubleshooting (no product support, right?): about three hours. Not cool.Yeah, it works now. But my initial "Wow, very simple, I like this thing" reaction I got from shooting quick videos with the kids has now soured to evil. Pure evil.You'd think the hardware would be the challenge with designing this thing, but the hardware works pretty darned well. It shoots decent video with minimal fiddling, even in low light. But the software is like a bad joke written by talented eighth graders (no offense to the eighth graders out there reading this).The real pity is that this camera is marketed toward people who want SIMP
LE. But you might have to pull off some pretty serious geek skills to get it to work. Shooting video? Simple. Doing anything with it? Wicked complicated.Beware, ya'll.
I bought this digital camcorder in part based on some reviews talking about how easy it is to use with a Mac and how you simply plug the camera right in and IPhoto knows what to do. If it only it were so easy! I was able to upload my videos easily, but I can't play them back. I have been through 3 calls with Apple support, all giving me conflicting advice. The last tech said that in order to make the Flip Ultra compatible with my 6 month old Mac Mini, that I would need to contact Flip directly and get a plug in from them. I did that. They have an e-mail only based customer support department. After three e-mails from Flip, I finally learned that I need to download a plug in, purchase Imovie for Mac, and upgrade my Quick Time player. Had I known all this would have ben necessary, I likely would not have purchased the Flip in the first place.However, I don't think that this is necessarily a fault with this camera. It seems to be relatively high quality, particularly for the price. It is very easy to operate and the picture quality (I can only view it on the camcorder itself at the moment) seems pretty good.If you have a PC, you may have better luck with the Flip Ultra, but like
most all non-Apple devices that I buy to use with my Mac Mini, it seems to be a huge pain to actually get it up and running.
Pros - Easy to use right out of the box. Lets you capture those special moments quickly and easily. 30 minutes is more than enough so you don't get too many different videos you have to sort through.Cons - None
Excellent product, especially for the reduced price I got it for. It arrived on time and in great condition, and takes fantastic videos. The only thing I didn't like is the video editing software that comes with it. However I downloaded a different program and use that, and otherwise and completely satisfied with my Flip. It's so much easier than trying to take video with my digital camera!
