It’s the Camcorder, Uncomplicated
The Flip Ultra camcorder makes it easier than ever to shoot and share video. Ultra features Flip Video’s signature shoot-and-share simplicity: just power on and press record to start capturing high-quality video in seconds.

Ultra-Spontaneous, Ultra-Fun
With 120 minutes of record time, you’ll never miss another minute again. And because it’s super-portable, Ultra lets you capture spontaneous video anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s a busy evening at your kids’ soccer match; a weekend camping trip; or simply an unplanned, everyday event, your Ultra will let you capture the moment. So you never have to say, “You should have been there.”

Incredible Quality
While it may be small, Flip Ultra packs a big punch. Ultra produces video that rivals that of far more expensive camcorders.

The included connector cable makes it incredibly easy to watch your videos on your TV.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Flip over Flip
Great little camcorder for the money. Very portable and easy to use make it a great shoot on the go recorder.

4 Stars Happy with this product!
Very happy with this product. Only downside the low light filming is a bit grainy but in daylight film quality is great. Even did some filming cruising fast on our boat and the quality came out better than expected!

5 Stars Perfect Gift for Tweens, Teens or the PC Savy user
This camera was an impulse purchase for me after viewing video review (#1) for it. I was looking for something I could carry in my purse to all the school functions; band concerts, etc…, and then quickly use to upload to Facebook the video. This item fits the bill perfectly!

I love these things about it:

+Great looking video, even though the resolution is only 640×480 at 30 frames per second. It’s done in H264 video and AAC stereo audio in MP4 file format with this camera. NOTE: This is NOT the HD camera. If you want HD, buy this one: Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (White).

+Audio is great too. Microphones picks up well and replay doesn’t sound distorted at all.

+Works with a MAC or PC!

+Takes AA batteries – easily picked up wherever you go.

+2 hours of recording time is ample for most of my needs.

+Software seems easy to use for uploading to websites, emailing and saving to files.

+Has a zoom feature!

+Lightweight and compact.

Things that could be better:

-USB connection option for desktops; not really supported as the connector flips out and there’s nothing to support the body of the camera. This problem can be fixed via a USB ‘A’ cord (not supplied but mentioned in the directions for use): USB 2.0 Extension Cable Type A Male to Type A Female 6 ft, Black.

-Battery life. Might need to invest in rechargable batteries or the lithium battery pack: Flip Video Battery Pack for 2nd Generation Ultra & UltraHD.

-Plastic cover for batteries feels a bit flimsy and has small plastic tabs that allow it to lock into the body of the camera. I’ll have to be careful when changing batteries!

-Wish it came with a clamshell style hard case instead of a pouch to protect it. That would add to its bulk and weight though, and for some, be a negative.

Uses:

+Uploading video to websites.

+Emailing video.

+Making home movies to burn to DVD.

+Archiving family gatherings to digital video.

This highly portable video camera is a great find. While part of me wishes I’d spent the extra cash on the HD model, right now I am pleased with the price I paid, the features of the camera and the ease of set-up and use.

I highly recommend the Flip Ultra 2nd generation to anyone who is PC savy and likes to upload video. Kids ages 9 to 49 will love it!

1 Star 2 Flips died on me!
I had three Flip Ultras (120 2nd gen) and they all stopped working within 6 months to a little over one year of usage. One was still under warranty and got replaced. But warranties had run out on the other two and Flip company totally unhelpful and provided NOTHING. Bad product and the worst customer service I have ever received. I would never ever purchase another Flip. They may be easy to use and cute, but they die early and you will get no help. So, why waste your money?
