My friend and colleague M1rasco did so much research when we decided to get cameras for our upcoming YouTube channel that it was hard to refute him when he recommended the Flip video.
Once I got it in my hands it was evident that this was the camera to have. First of all, it is so simple anyone can use it. There is a certain beauty to the simplicity of the controls, being that they are basically a few buttons and that is
it. The Flip also features a USB that flicks out like a switch
blade and is not just cool, but functional.
To top things off, the Flip also includes an internal hard drive,eliminating the need for SD cards. There are three models that range from a half hour to a full two hours of recording time.
I purchased the middle one that records for an hour. Though it seems like there isn't much space, I have discovered that one hour is heaps of time, and am yet to max out the hard drive.
All of this is great but the icing on the cake is that on the hard drive is Flipshare Software that allows you export your videos and make movies effortlessly. Flipshare is easy, convenient and fun.
There is one more thing about this camera that I have saved for last. It is inexpensive! the one hour model cost me $119.99 at Wal-Mart and I suspect you could find it cheaper online. For the price, this is absolutely an amazing deal. You could say that I love it so much i've "Flipped out" over it. (I can hear you groaning!)
Seriously though it is, for the money, the best deal around. I cannot recommend this item highly enough.
five out of five stars.
