I'm a teacher and got this so I didn't have to use my smart phone when recording my classroom and students. It works great and is easy to use. It can record up to an hour before you have to download but it's very easy to download. The only down side is that is takes AA batteries that have to be replaced when they run down.

I've once own a flip share camcorder before, so I browsed upon one here on EBay. The one I've received wasn't anything like the one I had before. The quality of it was less than I thought because the one I had before was of a higher quality sound and picture, crisp clear HD this was a risky purchase yet cheap Also disappointed.

Knowing this isn't a full featured camcorder costing hundreds of dollars, the Flip has (pros) stunning picture quality and incredible ease of use plus the handy FlipShare software, but (cons) sound/audio has no range, no zoom, and limited battery. It is somewhere between the limited video capabilities of smart phones and full-fledged camcorders. The video is true HD, amazing for such a small, inexpensive camera. The pop-out USB for charging and working from your PC couldn't be easier. Mine has an HDMI port unlike the Flip in the picture; no cable. It also has a screw hole on the bottom for connecting to a tripod. One button operation basically; once it's on, push the big red button to record. That's it. The audio works fine at close range and directly in front of the speaker. I taped something that was to the side of a speaker and about 20-25 feet away, and the audio came out very, very soft, even though the speaker's voice was amplified by a sound system in the room. Also, for some reason, it shut off after an hour of recording; it was re-started and then continued another 15 minutes. I don't know why it shut off; the battery was low. You may have 2 hours of recording time, but you may not have 2 hours of battery life to continue recording for a full 2 hour stint. The FlipShare software makes working with your videos a snap. Again nothing fancy, but basic titling/credits, editing/cutting, stitching/ transitions between clips. Actually producing a single movie from several clips is a few minutes for you to set-up, but it can take an HOUR or more for FlipShare to complete producing a 25 minute movie from a couple of clips. Same with emailing an embedded video or exporting a video to your PC - an HOUR. If you're not in a rush, it's fine; it operates in the background without tying up your PC or its memory. But for faster results, you'll want more powerful video editing software. FlipShare will also pull out a still/frame shot from your video. It bought it because it's so compact - about the size of a pack of cigarettes - and easy to use while also producing high quality video that's easily shared. I'm disappointed in the audio, but for well under $100, no complaints really. Being able to share the video easily mattered; I remember working with someone's higher priced camcorder that used a proprietary file format - it was insane to convert to a use-able MPEG4 format. No problem with FlipShare, but your results won't always be quick using FlipShare. Hey, I can wait. I'd highly recommend it for family and personal use videos. Taping a lecture or a speech from a distance is unlikely to work well. Excellent value overall and very happy with it.Read full review
I wanted to get into video-blogging, but didn't want to use my mom's video camera for it so, I asked for this one for Christmas. Pros: -Shoots good quality videos with amazing audio too. -Very easy to use, a completely tech newbie could figure this out. -Simple design, nothing flashy or complicated. -Great customer service, answered my question within 24 hours. -Easy to hold, exterior is soft and "grippy" feeling. Also light weight, not bulky. Cons: -Lens is exposed; I keep it in the pouch at all times when I'm not using it to keep the lens from getting damaged. -Power button is too easily pushed; Sometimes I go to pick it up or put it in my bag, it turns itself on. Thankfully, it powers itself off after a minute. -Battery won't last for the full 120 minutes, must charge after a few uses. -Mine wouldn't turn on after I disconnected it from the computer, I had to take the battery out and put it back in to make it work. Just hit a button to light up the screen before disconnecting and it's fine. -The FlipShare editing software isn't very good. It might be if you only wanted to cut some off the beginning or end of the video, but if there's something in the middle of the clip you want to cut, too bad. Windows Movie Maker decreases the video quality considerably, invest in better editing software like Sony Vegas. All in all, I really love this camera, it's light weight and easy to use. The few cons are easy to overlook (or fix) with all the great things the Flip Ultra HD has to offer.Read full review
The size of the UltraHD is thicker than my cell phone, so its easy to carry around. It records 2hrs of video; however, I think I remember reading somewhere that the battery life of UltraHD is 2.5 hrs. And it takes 7hrs to recharge the UltraHD (from empty to full). If you can live with all of these specifications, then this is a great camcorder. Whenever you plug the UltraHD into any computer, the software is downloadable to that computer! So you don't have to carry around a disk and downloading the software. The downside is that the min requirement to use the software is 3.0 ghz. I haven't used the software yet, so someone must do the review on the software. I just know that the software can take still photos out of the stuff you record. The UltraHD is small and lightweight. It's not a bulky camcorder that you usually carry around, so don't expect the UltraHD to be comparible to a $500 camcorder. It gets the job done, except for in poor light condition and when I'm running around recording stuff.. WARNING: YOU MUST BUY THE FLIP VIDEO USB CABLE! The UltraHD is too heavy to support he weight of itself. Each package of Flip USB comes in 3, which I thought was ridiculous. Why would anyone need 3???Read full review
