  • My 8 year old phone takes better video

  • Does it carve the images onto rocks?

  • You sure that's a Flip and not a toaster you're filming with?

  • @GeoffShouldWin Thats definately a flip, i can tell by the shitty picture quality. i paid 200 dollars for it now i would never pay 20.

  • @Z3kedog I know its a flip camera. Was just trying to insult it by using the Toaster joke

  • It's funny how people still think that the Flip is great...you could buy a Canon Powershot for much less and can shoot in 1080p...

  • Lol, well of course it's going to be poo if you don't use the HD one. :D Considering the price, you've got to assume that it's not going to be amazing.

  • Even though this was a long time ago, I am having a hard time believing that this is the Flip Video Cam. I think this was hooked up to the PC, MAC, or whatever and just recorded from the youtube website. If you haven't notice from a few people making videos with the flip cam and personal experience with an old group that spread out, it's a good buy for people that don't think they will want to go big on youtube, you also have to think about that while complaining about it.

  • @MetalGamingz - You calling me a liar?

    Sorry dude - but this was recorded with the Flip camera. No lies, no tricks - just the source video, as shitty as it is.

  • @JPizzle1122 No no no, by all means I'm not calling you one at all. What I'm saying is that the device was connected to the PC, MAC, or whatever was being used that day and the video was being recorded straight off of that. Plus, you have to also think about something as well. A lot of people was at the event that day so the camera might of gotten worn out quick. Most cameras will do that if they aren't treated the right way, so that might be the answer to the quality there.

  • @MetalGamingz - No, and no.

    We were maybe the 5th person to ever use this camera...ever. It was a brand-new, floor model - the representative from Flip told us as such, that no one was actually filming with them yet. We filmed ONTO THE CAMERA, and then transferred it to the computer for upload. This is how shit it looked.

  • @JPizzle1122 Ok, ok. no need to go into a caps rage. I was just saying. By the way, the next key word that needs to be looked at is 'Floor Model' Most of the time, they might be just the next prototype despite being created in 2006 under a different name.

  • @MetalGamingz - I didn't go into any "rage" don't... calm down.

    This was November 2008...

  • @JPizzle1122 I do see that, but if you done some research, like i thought you would, the flip was suppose to be a better version of those record once and throw away from cvs. They then decided to change the name to flip in 2007. Now I will admit there, back then, it wasn't so good quality, but coming from a long way, I think you might want to try giving a second opinion on it.

  • @MetalGamingz - The camera isn't being made anymore. Why would I want to waste my money on a discontinued, over-priced video-only camera that can't even zoom? -- Especially when there are dozens of better alternatives available at lower price points.

  • @JPizzle1122 You are not understanding the point. You can't just look at it from your side, you have to look at it from other sides as well. And check again, the camera can zoom, just not by much. Most people might now want to have that feature because they don't plan on doing things that you did back in the old days and now. Look at it from others point of view, that is all I'm asking. Nothing more, nothing less.

  • @MetalGamingz - No, it can't zoom. At all. I covered all of this in my review. Most people don't want a zoom? Bullshit. Everyone does/could use such a feature - and regardless of whether or not someone uses it - doesn't mean the camera is better than those that *do* have that feature.

    Fact: It is not a good camera.

  • godawful camera....

  • This thing has worse audio than a GoPro. Expect the GoPro has a reason to have low quality as a camera meant for sports. But for a 'HD' consumer camera should be of a high expectations with video and audio.

  • Haha my webcam has better quality.

  • @youdripblood - Already married, actually - but thanks for being a judgmental douchebag!

  • @JPizzle1122 did I mention that your mother doesn't count...

  • it would have been a more arguable debate if you uploaded this as the uncompressed HD format. this video is only 360/480p. try again and then test it.

  • @buddyroach - I uploaded this directly from the camera... with ZERO editing (one of the few times I've had to do that, actually)...

    SO, THERE'S THAT.

  • @JPizzle1122 i mean did you upload from camera using the built in firmware? or did you go to my computer and drag the raw video directly over to your computer? because the built in firmware automatically compresses it. Otherwise this video should of came out to 720p and look way better.

  • @buddyroach - Seeing as how this camera didn't / doesn't shot 720p... I'm not sure how that's possible... SO, THERE'S THAT.

  • @JPizzle1122 well i was brought here by another video saying that this video was proof that the HD 720p flip sucked. so if this isnt 720 then i guess that other guy cant really use this video to back up his point. SO THERES THAT. lol

  • @buddyroach - Dude, if you're too fucking stupid to recognize that the "other guy" and the person in this video are both me -- you're definitely too fucking stupid to have realized I never once claimed this video was proof of the Flip HD sucking - but proof that all Flip cameras, as a brand, suck.

    God damn, you're stupid.

  • @JPizzle1122 bitch fuck you. ill smash your fuckin glasses in you nerd. dont u dare try to talk to me like your hard bitch. ill whoop ur motherfucking ass, hoe!

  • @buddyroach - Wow... you got told so hard all you could muster was some pathetically lame insults and some swears. Are you even old enough to swear? Hahah... idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • dude at the end it has a flip sign and goes boop boop bee boop

  • I agree the flip is annoying, but I have to say the ultra hd does look and sound alot better than this. Even the standard ultra does. I only know cause I got a deal by buying a display for 30 bucks. I don't know what happened with this video cause I've used both ultra and ultra hd and they've never looked or sounded this bad.

  • Dude, this ain't in HD. My flip has better quality than your calculator here. And about the review on flip HD cam of yours, you talked about quality being about the same as your Nexus One. I believe that you weren't talking about flip HD cams, but just non HD flip cams instead. Apparently, flip HD cams shoot better video and audio than a Nexus One.

    Cheers ;)

    Proud owner of a Flip mino HD

  • @melvintwj - Of course it's not HD... that is the fucking point.

  • @JPizzle1122 I'm so amused at your critics for the Flip. You're getting so worked up over a device? Come on :D

  • @melvintwj - I'm not worked up at all. But I'm annoyed at all the stupid fanboys who needlessly run to the Flip's defense after I *CORRECTLY* called it out for being under-performing, and over-priced.

    They discontinued it... that should tell you all you need to know.

  • @JPizzle1122 No one is stupid, imo. I guess it's just a matter of preference :) Calm down, Charlie Brown.

  • @melvintwj - I disagree. It can be a matter of preference, but technically speaking - your preference is wrong.

  • @melvintwj are you retarded he said this is a flip video camera not his calculator or whatnot. and he said that his nexius one ALMOST has better quality than this.

  • why you hating bro

  • Damn, Jon wasn't kidding when he said the Flip's quality sucks. This looks like someone used their cell phone to record.

  • @Deliciousfruit233 shot in 2008 not 11 lol

  • Comment removed

  • Flip comes with video-editing software

  • @1eastern4 - Is that supposed to impress me? The Flip's editing software is garbage too.

  • @JPizzle1122 nope not at all, just a cool add-on that you never mention

  • dude, you shoot this in 2008, technology has moved on from then and so has flip. i use a flip camera for projects and for the money you spend, it's good enough quailty, and what you might think wont actually be the right one, it's just your opinion. so dont go saying that it's bad when it's clearly not? just coz you probably use some high end camera, that's all singing all dancing, dont mean you can hate on the less expensive ones? dude, sort. your. life. out. kthnxbai. A.

  • @Ashurlie - It is just "my opinion", but I'm a professional - and my opinion is an expert one that carries much more weight than most people.

    It's not a good camera, just accept it and move on.

  • @JPizzle1122 but it's still your opinion. idc if your a pro or not, doesnt make any difference. seriously, stop hating man. it aint cool. im just makin a point that for a less expensive camera, it's good for what it's worth, so seriously, you move on.

  • @Ashurlie - Except, it isn't good for what it's worth - because better cameras exist at cheaper price-points.

  • I soooo soooo wish I would've seen these videos before I bought my Flip. GAAAHHH

  • @smileyismaface Me too :(

  • i have a flip camera and it films with good quality and its awesome.

  • Woooooow.

    That is PATHETIC.

    I have to agree with your Why You Hate The Flip video here... I think my cell phone does better than this.

    Video: Grainy, jumpy, laughable framerate.

    Audio: .... Please. Compressed so badly I want to scream, AND recorded on a cheap microphone.

  • When I watched this I wanted to type:

    Nice vid, are you recording with a calculator or bird made of rock?

  • every single comment is a reply to someone else... i got no time for this -.- 

  • Why does Jon think the flip is garbage? Of course it's not the most expensive camera in the world, but I'd say it's acceptable for anyone wanting to just shoot simple video

  • @mario1136 - I think it's garbage for the reasons I explained -- at it's price point, you can buy a dozen other cameras that are way better.

  • @JPizzle1122 My dad already ordered me a flip camera. Oh well. I won't have it forever though. I'm eventually gonna sell it to get a sony camera

  • @mario1136 he says it sucks because of the price

  • @DistortorGiratina487 Well, the price has been reduced greatly since his review. I got mine for 38 dollars.

  • this was deffinetly not a flip camera. i have the ultra hd one. and its SO much better!!!

  • @MyMusicandBeauty - Actually, it *was* a Flip camera.

    / SO THERE'S THAT.

  • @JPizzle1122

    so theres.. what?

  • @MyMusicandBeauty - You said it wasn't "a Flip camera".

    Except, it *was* a Flip camera. So, there goes your entire argument.

  • @JPizzle1122

    well was this a ultra hd modern camera [the thicker kind]? cuz i have that one and its the best quality camera i've ever seen!!

  • @MyMusicandBeauty - This was the original model in 2008.

    And if the Flip is the best quality you've ever seen... you clearly haven't seen too many cameras.

  • @JPizzle1122

    acctually i havent. and that's what im saying!! you filmed with the OLD version! not the new one!

  • @MyMusicandBeauty - I never said it was a new one. But you claimed it wasn't a Flip at all. Which is just wrong.

  • i just got a flip camera really good footage good sound and for 50 bucks, if u dont beleive me look at my trampoline videos at the end it has the flip logo

  • i just got a flip for 50 bucks, i just need something to make videos with but this works for me

  • soo i have one these gayboys dont no crap

  • hi

  • @BrandonJoesVlog - Because Flips couldn't record in HD when this was filmed.

  • Well mine looks better! And 10x better sound quality! LIES

  • this is not a flip

  • @NoJuiceProductions - Actually it is...

    SO THERE'S THAT.

  • '

    is this guy song NUMA NUMA

  • Flip Mino has pretty lame quality. Ultra HD is pretty good(in my opinion)

  • This was filmed in 2008 wich was 3 and a half years ago. Flip has progressed so much more over that time period. This video was filmed with the first gen wich does suck but the new ones are so much better. so stop saying Flips suck because they dont!!!!

  • sorry mate this is not a flip camera all my vids are shot with FLIP ULTRA ORIGINAL AND THEN FLIP ULTRA HD 2

  • OMG flip haz ARMinal zoom.

  • You were obviously using another shitty camera. Check out my channel. And guess what... I use a Flip camcorder. So shut up. Oh and by the way my channel is called TheAndrewBTV

  • The rolling shutter, ah!

    My tapecam has better audio/video quality. And I'll go to sleep in 5mins.

  • Notice this was taken 3 years ago :P!

  • Comment removed

  • Audio warbles. colour is washed out, lighting is overexposed, compression artifacts all over the place...

    And people STILL think that this is a good camera?

  • @DMXP100 I got an ultra HD and its better this is an earlier installment the newest one is better.

  • @DAN5675able Took a look at some test footage. Compression isn't as bad, but all the other issues still persist.

  • truly, it's better just to use a phone, i have a phone free w/ a 3 year activation, and it's just about the same as this, get a better phone like a nexus and it's worlds apart from this, besides you just about always have a phone on you, why lug around an extra camera?

  • Oh. Hey J-Fizzle I think you got Mino HD. You should have gotten Ultra HD. It's way better.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a flip you got the cheap one didn't you?

  • You obviously did NOT use a Flip Camera. You probably used your "super coool phone" that you've bragged about that it has "Greaaaat video quality!" My fucking ass it has great video quality. Your just saying that you used a Flip camera because you don't like it.. Get over your self, Jerk..

  • @PLUMeeRiiTaaw - No, this was filmed with a Flip - but thanks for calling me a liar, asshole.

  • @JPizzle1122 No problem, douche;D

  • @JPizzle1122 Not a flip. Either that or you used the first one ever made.

  • u did not make this with a flip thats bull. I have a flip and the quality is WAY better

    

  • Bullshit.

  • @xDeverything8DFF - Except, that it DOES NOT HAVE AN OPTICAL ZOOM - hence, it lacks the ability to zoom.

    I'm not "saying whatever I want", I'm saying the FACTS - which are unchangeable. Nice try though dude, but way to fail.

  • Have you seen SHAYTARDS (Shay Carl) Videos he uses a Flip video with great quality and its HD

  • @Cdog4724 - I have... and no, the quality on his videos isn't great. Neither is the sound.

  • @JPizzle1122 Yes it is!

  • @Cdog4724 Just because some famous person uses a camera doesn't make it amazing. The quality isn't the best, but his hilarious content is what makes him amazing. He can shoot his videos with a 480p vlogging camera, and we wouldn't care, because PrincessTard is being adorbs.

  • Comment removed

  • @xDeverything8DFF failure

  • Jon, the "horrible" video quality and audio quality on the flip you were using wasn't that bad actually. I could hear everything crystal clear, and see everything in the video perfectly. The only reason why alot of people think the audio sucks is because your in a crouded room, but i could still hear everything you said.

    Now i'm not saying the flip is one of the best cameras out there..... cuz i know it's not. There are way better cameras. I'm just sayin, it's better than you give it credit for

  • @itseasymkay1000 its very pixilated. like disorted images.

  • @refresh967 i really don't notice it that much.

  • @itseasymkay1000 my eyes are like really sharp so i notice thoses things. It;s not that bad. but flips suck for professional video recording. its more of a emergency pocket recorder kind of thing.

  • @refresh967 of course it's not a professional camera... it's more of an every day, quick use, camera, for like, see what you wanna film... film it, then put it away type camera.

  • Guys, today we were shopping for a cheap camcorder for our upcoming cruise and my dad wanted the flip. My aunt loves hers. I'm a "techno-wizard", and I looked up all the good, sub$200 camcorders at wal-mart and sams since we didn't have time for shipping. Honestly, the flip sucks. get a Kodak Playsport ZX5, like us. It shoots 720 p at 30fps(like the flip), 720p at 60 fps, and 1080p. It goes underwater, & is drop resistant. And you can use SD cards. I can go on and on.Good Job Jon!!!FLIP SUCKS!!

  • Lol this was made in 2008 you do know the made WAY better HD models. Pay attention to details.

  • Jesus crist its like u found a camera phone from a cereal box

  • I have a Flip HD Ultra... It actually takes fucking AWESOME daytime, outside video. What I will say is this "the low light video on this thing sucks huge cock" terrible. The sound isn't that bad though...not from my experience.

  • 1rst generation flip 3rd generation is better

  • It's great for a self destruct video, ie. on a railway line... Not sure how you'd retrieve the footage.

  • It's not about the camera quality or functions. It's how you use it :)

  • @hyundaihan98 - Nah... it's about the quality and functions too.

  • @JPizzle1122 ur rite.. i got it yesterday, and i returned it 2 hours later! It's freakin crappy!

  • @JPizzle1122 and how you use those quality and functions

  • @hyundaihan98 Functions such as manual focus, manual white balance, still photography, and other features that are commonplace and required on a legitimate camera of any price?

  • The canon 5D mark II was out in 2k8, I believe the RED one was also out at that time. Far superior than the Flip.

  • Is it just me, or is the audio glitching? It sounds like it's "twitching" or something. If that's actually the result of the camera's recording, then I should buy one on sale. That'd be great for a Canada Day firework experiment.

  • you guys shut up as you see this is in 2008!! the ultra first flip was bad ok but now they make better ones thats why they make new ones to IMPROVE the stuff that first one needed!!!! like if your with me!!

  • @LaPrincesaDeDios15 The flip died, there is not gonna be any more flips.

  • what does shaycarl use then?

  • That camera does suck, but the Flip Ultra HD has extremely good quality my friend. The others blow monkey dicks.

  • look at all the virgins.

  • My Rock has a better video and sound quality!

  • the iphone 4 and ipod touch fourth generation shoot 720p video. if you have a new ipod or iphone just use that dumbasses! "oh no. i need a separate camera for video, even though i can email it to myself without cords or edit it right on my new iphone/ipod touch!"

  • i have a cell phone called teh KIn two that shoots 720p video, takes 8 megapixel cameras, does all the shit that a regular phone does and was only $50

    so much better than my flip that stays on the shelf

  • The new flip is way better and this video has no hd option. The youtube videos filmed with flips are crap but when you select the hd option they are beast.

  • @xDeverything8DFF - To suggest that a show-room model for public trial-use would still have the plastic on it is seriously one of the dumbest fucking things I've ever heard.

    And I read YouTube comments several hours a day.

    Well done, failure.

  • @JPizzle1122 this is not a Flip Mino HD or Flip Ultra HD because these cameras do great quality

  • @JPizzle1122 Why are some people so willing to defend this expensive piece of crap anyway? What makes this camera so special that retards feel they should defend against it. Its either a severe case of buyers remorse, or just that specifically a product with the most irrelevant gimick and childish functionality appeals to people of that type.

  • @xDeverything8DFF No he didn't. He's owned enough cameras to know the basic procedure on how to unbox them.And don't call him a dumbass, he knows wayyy more than you about film and editing,

  • im using an samsung hd dvd camcorder that records REALLY in 16:9 780p HD and records sound in dolby digital stereo and has 34x optical zoom and cost me 89€

  • My combine-harvester has better video quality than this.

  • Okay first of all, this was probably and most likely recorded with one of the earlier Flip cameras. Now, the Flip cameras have much better video quality AND audio. Just go to Lane Fournerat's vlogging channel "TheFunnyrats" and see for yourself the awesomeness. :)

  • @MisterBaseball200 I looked, that's still shit audio and video quality. The audio is just FULL of ambient noises and the video is grainy.

  • @TommyNguyenMagic - Well, some of them are like that because of where he's recording. Yeah, when it's dark and he's doing something, there's obviously going to be noise and you can't see as good. But when he's outside recording, it's much more clear.

  • @MisterBaseball200 While OTHER cameras don't need much light for their video to not be grainy, and I bet if I looked at an outside video, there would be wayyy more ambient noises

  • My toaster power cord can produce better video quality

  • Woah! That is some shitty quality my friend.

  • Flip cam.. sucks balls

  • when it says 'HD' i think it refers to when your watching it on the tiny screen on the flip itself.

  • my dishwasher can record better video and audio

  • Wow, all the comments here saying "mine's better"... Just how blatantly can you show your cognitive dissonance?

  • I have the Mino HD and its WAY BETTER quality than this...

  • @FingerboardPr0 yea, but a camera with no optical zoom and no manual features is nowhere near worth that much money

  • @FingerboardPr0 yes. thats what i have. it IS SOOOOOOOOO MUCH better than this

  • Haha, Thats some SHITTY ass quality, But, I guess I may be boofing it up, The camera I use is a $800 Camera. And it has Fantastic Quality.

  • mines betta!

  • Holy shit my cellphone camera takes better video than this thing. O_o

  • the flips was my first and i could not stand the software it came with and its the only software you are aloud to use don't buy it unless you want to hate it and buy a new one that is the same price and is 1080p

  • The new ones are A LOT better. lol

  • my calculator has better video quality

  • @TheTheJMoney hell my stapler has better video quality

  • They've really improved now, but there's better ones.

  • My Sony DCR-TRV315 from 2000 shoots better video and captures better audio than the flip. And it records on digital tape. lol

  • @oddguy314 Hahaha I found my mum's Packard Bell from 98 and compared it to the flip. Don't have to tell you what was better quality

  • @IFraserH ......what has better quality....im being serious

  • @TheTheJMoney The old Packard Bell hahaha

  • At the start of this video I thought the quality was really great, until I realized it was just the YouTube advertisement playing...

  • This is the old FLip. The new is ones are better.

  • garbage

  • Also, Flip fappers/lovers:

    The quality sucks on ALL movie editors. I tried iMovie on a Mac, Windows Movie Maker from Windows Vista on my old PC AND Serif MoviePlus X3, all have the capability of HQ videos. The sound and video quality SUCKED on EVERY editor used!

  • flip users, consider this:

    The newest flip HD with the slide and touch screen costs about $230 and it shoots in HD video. The iPod touch costs 230, and it also shoots in HD video, and i would say it shoots better than the flip. So think about it, would you rahter get a ipod touch with good video recording (plus a bunch of apps to enahnce the recording) and also be able to take amazing pics, and also have a shitload of other media like games, or would you buy this crap with horrible touch?
