Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Orange)
Customer Review: Warning - poor quality control. Camera does not work from the get go.
Summary: 1 Stars
This was bought for me as a birthday present and I was delighted to open the box today on what looked like a well presented and easy to use product. However, it does not work! The display is stuck in the 'set time and date' mode and will not budge at all. Removing and reinserting the batteries makes no difference. We are returning to Amazon to get a replacement on the assumption mine was a lemon, so hopefully I'll be able to give this more stars if I ever get a working one. I remain skeptical though, as it appears from other reviews that the technical QC on this product is dreadful. It looks like more care has been spent on the packaging than on developing a consistent product. To paraphrase what others have said: "An excellent idea, dreadfully executed"
Overall, very disappointing.
Customer Review: hate it, no stars!

IFlip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Pink) I have never been able to download onto a disc for a movie since I got it 6 months ago. My cat I loved, died and his last days are on the thing and I can not get it downloaded even after I bought Video Lab 10.
Waste of your money!
Customer Review: It's a great product!

The flip video is a wonderful thing. It is small, easy to use, makes a great gift and is reasonably priced. Customer Review: Terrible product
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been thinking about getting a camcorder for a long time, and when I heard about the Flip, it seemed just right. I even paid for one-day shipping because I was so excited to start using it. What a HUGE disappointment. I have a new Macintosh computer, which works perfectly fine, and the Flip immediately had problems interfacing. The software won't download, the videos don't play properly, etc. Total, 100 percent disappointment. I'm planning on spending more money, and getting a real camcorder. How lame: the whole idea behind the Flip is that it's fun and easy to use. Totally untrue.
Update: in the spirit of giving things one last try (before returning the flip for a refund), I've tried it on several computers, all of which conform to the tech specifications for compatibility, and now the flip isn't even able to be recognized by the computer, any computer. I'm not a techo-idiot, and I am really having a hard time understanding how so many people are seemingly having no problems with the flip--is mine a lemon?
Customer Review: Great, when it works...
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the Flip Video for myself in May 2008, it was awesome, it worked just as advertised, but just a few days ago I turn it on to record and the Flip symbol remained on the screen and when I tried to turn it off it wouldn't turn off. I called technical support and the guy told me to remove the batteries and wait 24 hours and then to put new batteries in it. I followed his instructions and the same thing happened.
The warranty is only for 90 days, that's a real shame. After the 90 days they will help you retrieve your video, but that's it, then you're out of luck. Luckily I had all ready saved my video on my computer. Funny thing is that I can plug the Flip Video Cam into the computer and I can work the program and take snapshots, and even upload videos, but what's the use if I can't record with it anymore.
HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!!
