Flip Ultra HD Released
The new Flip Ultra HD camera was released in the UK today. We reviewed the Mino HD that offered 4GB of storage a few months ago and loved it. The Flip Ultra HD offers a massive 8GB of storage and is actually cheaper than the Mino !
Flip video cameras offer a zero learning curve. The device features a power button, TV out, a flip out USB connector, a record button and 2-3 small control buttons used (mostly) for playback. Unlike the the Mino the Ultra reportedly offers an HDMI output for direct connection to a TV.
The device is simple, there is literally nothing to setup or get to know, you hold out the camera and press the red record button to video, easy !
The device offers crystal-clear 720p high-definition video capture, alongside the standard VGA model. Key advances for both the Ultra and UltraHD include a doubling of the internal memory capacity, allowing users to capture up to two hours of footage on the camera without the need for costly additional SD cards. The Flip Ultra’s viewing screen has also been significantly expanded to two-inches to offer superior playback.
A comparison between a Panasonic HD camcorder and Flip Mino HD is shown above. As with the original Ultra, the cameras provide simple, one-touch recording and the signature flip-out USB arm connects directly to any computer.
FlipShare™, the advanced on-board software, comes as standard and loads automatically when you plug the camcorder into the computer. Fully compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems – the software leads you seamlessly through the process of editing, organising, sharing and capturing photo stills from your videos.
Given the ease of use and high quality video capture these cameras are perfect for any classroom.
