Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (Black)
Customer Review: Fragile with terrible customer support
Summary: 1 Stars
After less than a week, the lens on the camera shattered. Customer service they didn't cover that and our only option was to buy new. Customer Review: Looks nice
Summary: 5 Stars
It was bought as a Xmas present and it's only Dec 12, so I have no opinion yet...it looks nice?Customer Review: USB connection flawed
Summary: 1 Stars
The video quality is fine for sharing on the internet. However, sometimes the camcorder would shut itself off, usually right as I'm about to get a particularly good video of our baby:-(
The killer, though, was that it works very inconsistently with our USB port. It didn't work at all on the front port, but it worked sometimes on the back. I would have to plug it in, unplug it, and re-plug it several times before I would get lucky and it would work. After reading several other people have issues like this, I gave up and sent it back for a refund.
However, if it works for you, it was very easy and saving the video to your computer is easy. I really wish it had worked for me!
Customer Review: The perfect camcorder for family functions
Summary: 5 Stars
i will not get into too many technical details, as it is has been explained in such depth by some of the reviewers here. From a usability stand-point, it caters to even the most tech-allergic.
It runs on 2 AA batteries, has a simple (James Bond villain:) type) red button to start recording that toggles to pause. The buttons on the left and right are for delete and replay and for file management.
The zoom features are good (but compromise video quality), the only point of negativity is the non-expandable memory (its 2GB / 60 minute video static and can't be upgraded) and the fact that you cannot take photos.
It comes with a nice pouch and a good manual.
I see a lot of reviews saying that the button is "hard" to press, but please note that its more of a poka-yoke feature to prevent accidental recording or pause.
One other point is be careful when using it in harsh / industrial environments, especially manufacturing areas, i used mine in a forging industry once to video shoot the process (from a distance of 10-15 feet), but because of the heat, the CCD was damaged and now for some reason the screen does not work, but ofcourse this would happen to most camcorders,its just that this was a bit weak. No worries, got me a new one and its back to work! :) This is an example of quite rugged use though.
I would recommend this device with full confidence and is a great gadget to have at home for those "urgent" video shoots that one does at home or on the go. It is very simple and the quality of video is very very good. makes for an awesome gift as well.
Customer Review: Great customer service
