Flip UltraHD Camcorder

YouTube and other video sharing sites have made finding and watching clips of men getting hit in the groin by footballs extremely easy for everyone from kids to grandparents. But it was a company called Pure Digital that made capturing hilarious clips like that just as easy for anyone capable of pushing a button. Their Flip line of digital camcorders are known for being as easy to use as it gets, and with the addition of the MinoHD and the UltraHD pictured above, creating HD content is just as simple.

I spent a few weeks playing around with the Flip UltraHD and while I was initially worried that I would be frustrated by such a simple device, I actually walked away appreciating its simplicity. So if you’ve been looking for a way to shoot HD video that’s as easy, if not easier, than a point & shoot still camera, you’ll want to check out my full review of the Flip UltraHD after the jump.
One of the best parts of the Flip UltraHD is its small and compact size, so it’s not surprising that the packaging is just as compact and minimal. It’s a clean and simple cardboard box with product shorts that show off the camera from all sides, so int the store you’ ll know exactly what you’re getting ahead of time

And as is the trend these days with gadget packaging, once you remove the Flip UltraHD’s outer box there’s a pair of flaps that really serve no other purpose than to provide a dramatic reveal of the device while you’re opening it. Of course the first thing you’ll find inside is the Flip UltraHD itself, but digging a little deeper also reveals a removable rechargeable battery, a microfiber case, a lanyard and a set of printed instructions and warranty info.

Now one of the things I really like about the Flip UltraHD is that it uses an easily replaceable rechargeable battery allowing you to carry spares. A cover on the front of the camcorder slides off to reveal the battery compartment, and the included battery even has a handy plastic flap that makes removing it extremely easy.

On the other side of the UltraHD you’ll find an HDMI port which is another nice addition it’s really hard to enjoy and appreciate your 720P clips on the device’s 2-inch LCD display, so being able to connect it to the hi-def TV in your living room to view the clips in their native resolution is a much better option. The downside? That’s a mini-HDMI connection which means there’s good chance you’ll need to by a mini-HDMI to regular-HDMI cable because one isn’t included.

Also you’ll find the device’s ridiculously handy and convenient built-in USB connector. Sliding down a button causes a small arm to pop-out which features a USB port on the end
The USB connector is also used to charge the Flip UltraHD, but oddly enough it has to be connected to a laptop or PC’s USB port. I tried connecting it to the USB AC adapters that come with the iPhone and older iPods, and the device simply refused to charge. But since you’re able to swap out the rechargeable battery with regular AA’s in an emergency, being limited to charging the UltraHD via a computer isn’t as big an issue as far as I’m concerned.

          
 

Conclusions:
Pure Digital positions their Flip devices as being one of the easiest ways to capture and share video content online, and there’s no doubt in my mind that they’ve succeeded there. I’ve worked as a videographer in the past so I can think of hundreds of options and buttons to add to the device to

make it more useful to a professional, but that’s not who the Flip is targeted at. So on the other side of that coin, I can’t actually think of a single function that needs to be removed to make this device easier to use. If for whatever reason you’ve got your heart set on becoming the next YouTube star on a minimal budget, the Flip UltraHD or any of the Flip devices should be your first investment.

Pros:
+ Easiest hi-def camcorder on the market.
+ Built in USB connection means you don’t have to worry about carrying extra cables.
+ Shows up as mass storage compliant device so there’s no need for 3rd party software or drivers to offload content.+ Tripod mount helps with stability.+ Rechargeable battery easily swapped with standard AA’s.

Cons:
- Compact video devices can lead to shaky footage.
- 720P instead of 1080P.
- Rolling shutter can lead to jelly artifacts.
- Grainy footage in the dark.
- No option to switch to a standard
-def mode to increase record times.
- No built-in lens cap.
- Digital zoom.
- Professional videographers will find it too simple.
