Flip Video camera
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.
