Today I'm gonna talk about the flip video camera. The one I have is the flip video ultra 60 minute recording time video camera. The reason I got this camera I didn t buy it I was invited by You Tube and Goggle to do behind scene videos for the You Tube CNN Republican Debate and they gave me this camera when I went to use to do the behind the scenes filming. Since then I have fallen in love with this camera it is so cute and it's so pink and it's so fun. This is a great little camera it's so easy so convenient you can just to turn it on you pull this little lever here and it's record press the little red button and you're recording and then to stop recording you just push the red button again and then you can look at what you recorded . And let's see you push play and you can watch it. And if you don't like it then you can just ____ trash can and there's ___ trash video deleted. It so easy and so simple to use there's a zoom to push your zoom to push down you zoom out and then right and left sends you through the videos that you already have on the camera and when you are ready to unload it to your computer it's the easiest thing in the world coz you just pull this little lever here and a USB pops right out you pop it into your computer and it downloads directly into your computer. It's so easy and the picture is really good I mean it's not you know HD but it's good it's just a great little camera. The negatives of this camera is if you are a serious serious filmmaker you're gonna have the quality for television you're not gonna have the quality for big screen like movie theater sites. You are also not being able to take the tape on keep it you have to just keep what's you download onto your computer because you ___ this off every time you use it and plug it in. It has only 60 minutes on here and the tape is built in. It's really good if for picking up light so you don't have to have a ton of light to get a nice quality picture. But you do have to have some. I typically when I'm using it to a film video that's important I'd typically set up 3 lights like I have now one here one here one here to get the maximum quality picture you can with this little camera. But I have found it extremely useful. On the negative side there are no ___ whistles I've had some videos that I've made that people tell me I was ___ sound you really need to need to use and external microphone. Well folks there's nowhere to plug an external microphone in so you don't spent a lot of money you have an easy little camera you have a place for a tripod which can totally totally add quality to your film just the sleekest little thing on a tripod you're gonna get much better picture than carrying around which can kind a make you little sea sick when you are watching it. So it's really cool that has the tripod holder. It uses this regular double A batteries so I typically keep batteries in my purse so that if it runs out I can just grab right out of purse and stick them in here. I think that's nice if they're rechargeable battery because if I'm having to recharge it and if I run out and I was filming now I have to wait until I recharge it again but I don't have to do that with this one because I can just pop this and stick the batteries just right inside here. So I really like that feature. The price range on this little pink flip ultra 60 minute video is anywhere from 123 dollars to around 170 dollars. So it's very reasonably price. And I would totally recommend this if you just really want something that's easy and simple and so fun. If you're like really hard core and you want you know HD and all that this is not the camera for you if you want external mics this is not the camera for you. If you're wanting to have something to make fun videos and to video tape your family and it's perfect for you know for this type videos where uploading into the internet and you have a smalller picture there it's absolutely the easiest thing in the world for that. So I totally recommend this camera.
