Flip UltraHD Video Camera Review
Now, it's time to look at the latest and greatest with the Flip Video Ultra HD. The Ultra HD is an incremental step up from the Mino HD in my opinion; however, those increments are worthwhile..
Flip Ultra HD Changed The Way We Make Personal Videos
To begin with, the newer Ultra HD camcorder provides twice as much recording time at 2 hours, which is thanks to the built-in 8GB of memory. One of the disadvantages about the built-in memory is that you simply are stuck with that. 120 minutes and your done. Nevertheless, I've hardly ever ran out on a single outing but I'm also pretty consistent about throwing the video off to my personal computer whenever I have shot something with it.
The video format is still 720p video using H.264 MP4 encryption. The video is 16:9 format, which is becoming more and more common nowadays. The LCD has a full 2-inch screen with a higher resolution of 960 x 240. In addition, the Ultra HD has real buttons - instead of the capacitive touch buttons on the Mino HD. I tend to favor the real buttons after having used both cameras.
Finally, the Ultra HD is powered by AA batteries and is packaged with a NiMH battery pack. And, you can still plug the Flip's USB port into your own computer for charging. If the rechargeable batteries die while you're out though, you can pop in some standard alkaline batteries to get you through the day.
There are a variety of Flip video camera models out there with a selection of specs that cover 60 minutes to 120 minutes of recording time, as well as HD and VGA recording resolutions. They all are very easy to operate and relatively inexpensive in price.
