Simplicity is a beautiful thing, not to be under estimated, but enjoyed.
If only everything in the world was as simple as Flip, the pocket video camera.
Flip uses built in software to install onto your pc, it has a flip out arm with USB connection. Connect flip up and it does the rest for you. I had my first videos on facebook in a matter of minutes, 3 minutes from install to upload.
Flip is well designed and has been designed for quick use. There are not many functions, which compliments rather than hinders. You get a big red record button where your thumb would be. A playback (on screen) and zoom. It’s all you need.
Because of the simplicity and the instant record, you will not miss a thing. I found that the flip promoted short bursts of film, which are perfect for uploading onto your social media site.
I also found that the size added to the filmic quality. Things seem more fluid than a standard (bulky, by comparison) video camera. I filmed (and chased) my Children through a soft play / ball pond room to great effect.
This is the way forward, it is refreshing to have something that delivers but is oh so simple to use and install.
In pink, the perfect gift for valentines day. The flip Ultra retails at £129.99, the HD version at £159.99, available from all good electrical retailers (Currys, PC world, Amazon and Play all stock).
This would make the perfect present for anyone, Technophobic grandparents, gadget crazy kids or just about anyone in between.
The simple things are always the best things….conkers, kiss chase, baked beans on toast. Add flip to the list.
Conceptronic have released their connectivity collection and I was lucky enough to sample one of their netbook adaptors.
This product is titled Universal Power adaptor, so I wanted to check how Universal it is and proceeded to check all my electrical items in the house (yes, I do need to get out more….
)
Laptop? Powered up! Nintendo DS? Powered up! Blackberry? Powered up! IPod? Powered up!
OK, very universal and very clever. This charger comes with 15 different tips which will fit most electrical gadgets. Having a USB connector for charging is inspired and really does open up charging possibilities.
How many of the above do you have chargers for? I have a corner in my kitchen that is all wires. It is a tangled mess that can now be removed and replaced by this excellent adaptor.
As a travel companion, this is perfect. Business or pleasure, these days you will be taking some kind of power hungry gadget(s) with you. This adaptor will continue to give you the power you require on so many different platforms.
Conceptronic continue to deliver high end product with excellent value for money. This range of chargers come in at well under £40.00. The 2 year warranty only confirms that this has quality and endurance written all over it.
If you are buying for a gadget crazed father, son, brother or boyfriend then you are guaranteed to add a smile to their face with the very cool Flip Ultra. It’s a handheld video camera that shoots up to 60 mins of film and lasts up to 4 hours on 2 single AA batteries.
Probably the most iconic thing about the Flip Ultra is that it has a built in USB plug, which allows you to literally shoot film and download it to your desktop in moments or upload it to social sites like YouTube… it really couldn’t be any easier!
It’s not just for the guys though, Stella McCartney has even been using Flip Ultras to film backstage during London Fashion Week.
Best of all… it’s under £100!
