[whosRiZo]

@madawg891 check your editing or render settings

[cupmaster55555]

@TheTuffChannel yes i just bought one and thts wht i use to edit mine.

[horsegirl0003]

You wasted 2:43 of my life.

[OcarinaBrothers]

Check out the kodak playsport vs flip ultra hd video and you'll see whose the real winner.

[TacoBoy210]

I want to get this. Can you change it from 720p to 1080p?

[13thAngelOfDoom]

@TacoBoy210 720p ONLY

[TheBackFlipperzz]

some of my backflipping videos are filmed by a flip video ultra HD its preatty great!

[conewells]

Do I have buy a new memory card once the recording time runs out. It says on mine: 5 minutes to go. What then....?

[91DAintegraB20]

@conewells upload it to your computer and delete it from the flip

[TheD4rkPrince]

i cant decide whether to get the flip hd 2 or the flip2 which one is better for the money ?

[Shamrocks9823]

mine came with a mini tripod

[Sencilloficial]

Rsuming the review  .."The camera is shit...but other than that its good"

[ThePearKing]

you look like a pedo

[Trudermark]

1:48

[Trudermark]

"Hang". Ow poor Flip lol 1:50

[musiclover10gb]

oh ya! im thinking about getting a Flip or atleast asking for one for Christmas. which one should i get?????????????

[skater13kid]

@musiclover10gb im getting a flip i think you should go for a flip but i dnt no which 1 im gettin yet

[ImmortalPayton]

If you look at the date (if you're smart enough to) it shows 2009. It's turing 2011, which MEANS the Flip UltraHD now has updates. I just bought one off of theflip.com. (which is the only place where you SHOULD buy it since it's the home base maker, and you will get the best shipping quality and results to my opinion... and shipping is FREE) The Flip UltraHD has a stabilization mode, so now the picture is crisp in clear, no matter how hard you shake it. WOO! IKD what else it has. chk out da site

[Lorea1991]

Does it have a spot on the bottom to attach to a tripod??

[ImmortalPayton]

@Lorea1991 Now there is a space on the bottom to attach a tripod but at the checkout on theflip.com (which is the only site I know of that as this oppertunity) you have to add a tripod connector to your cart. It's probably aroud $15-$20. I don't know if any other sites of retail such as Target or Walmart (ect.) sell those. But I hope I was helpful. By the way, his video is outdated. The stabilization in it now has a stabilization mode.

[jerseychik26]

ok i have a question and u might be the only one who could answer that for me, so i just ordered this online and i got the one on sale at walmart which is only 1 hour record time and 30 frames per seconds instead of the 60 frames yours has can u tell me what this means?

[kq4ym]

@jerseychik26 the version you have for about $99 is the so-called 3rd Generation model coming out in early 2010 I believe, but there is also a "3rd" generation just out in November that has 8 GB or 2 hours of video and 60 FPS and image stabilization, none of which your 4 GB model has. Many reviews say the 8 GB model is not worth the extra $70 or so, although that model has a port that will allow auxiliary microphones.

[Dtcftw]

lockerz sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! scam complete scam i ordered like 10 shirts a flip hd camcorder and a laptop and a mouse pad and i had Z LIST and i only got the freaking mouse pad

[bigbocceball]

how do you get it to play sound?



[deathanddestruction0]

Get a tripod!

[JIGSAW5595]

"THOSE MOTHA FUCKAS"

[ReiMomo]

Does it record audio?

[alsoknownasJas]

I just got my camera today :D its amazing, I got it for only £80 as well. If you wana know where to buy a cheap flip ultra HD, or mino even, check out my latest video (filmed with my flip). Its cheaper than anything you would find on Amazon or ebay

[ninjasamurai12]

What type of editing software does it come with?

[iMOSKUL]

my new flip has a problem the battery isn't charging…..

[zaq147369]

@iMOSKUL tell me if you find a solution

[o0lindsay0o]

@iMOSKUL Mine did that the very first time I charged it and it's been fine ever since

[southdotvista]

i have a question, it might seem a bit dumb though...lets say for example you have a pocket camcorder and its records in HD 720p and you have a CAMERA thats also can record in HD 720p and the camera is 12.2 megapixel while the pocket camcorder only takes 5 megapixel stills..apart from the audio being better on the pocket camcorder, what other advantages will it have over the camera for recording?? oh and lets assume they cost roughly the same as well

[mitch26]

@southdotvista Many regular cameras cannot zoom while recording video, have no idea why that is. Another benefit in using a video camera over a regular one (though not on the flip) is a swivel screen. If you're at a parade or concert or sports game where someone might be in front of you, it's great to be able to raise the camera over your head to shoot around any interference. Generally (though not on the flip) motion stability controls are better set for the video on video cameras.

[Y3KBeats]

can i record at night?

[chooseillusions]

how much does this go for? I seen one of these at walmart but I wasn't sure if it's the exact one. it says for about 129$?

[ziadtheking]

not bad for uni or school

[Nerolus]

This is engadget, go away Lockerz freeloading morons.

[TheMariusDuaas]

Gonna redeem it from Lockerz!

[ultimatetoturial56]

@TheMariusDuaas me too

[russ531995]

free lockerz invites send me email and i will reply asap

[flipultrahdcamcoder]

i used too and I'm very satisfied..

[Bortelliify]

lol no its not

[BaldViking]

My recommendation? Spend the extra money and get a video camera with image stabilization. This thing is junk while you're moving. The jitter and distortion make the video unwatchable.

[XXGOLDENXXDRAGONXX]

Can you take pictures with it???

Regards,

Tom

[heythereyazy]

@XXGOLDENXXDRAGONXX nope :( video only.

[OgDog94]

@XXGOLDENXXDRAGONXX Actually this camera comes with a program that comes with it. I do have the Flip Ultra HD Camera. and you can go to each frame and you can take snapshots with it. I have actually caught some pictures of lightning with this camera. Really good camera. i do have a mini tripod so that helps out a lot. and yes you should lookd into a usb extension cord for this so it doesn't strain the port.Good deal and compact. Good for a first video camera!

[useless241]

is this the dude from lockerz.com?

[KangMinK6]

@useless241 no this is the dude from engadget.com

[ultrasongs]

@useless241 lol!

[ddyyllaannkk]

@useless241 no, he ain't.

[08BlueTiger]

@useless241 haha looks like but he is not :D did u get z list tshirT? i did ;p

[ryan8121]

@useless241 No, but he does look pretty close to the guy for Lockerz.com.

[ShInJiNjI]

@useless241 Now that you mention it, WOW... THE RESEMBLANCE!! haha

[riyazes]

@useless241 i dont think thats the guy but they do resemble 

[mslovablekell2010]

@useless241 i think he is..

[benbolton1]

what camera did you use to film this video the clarity is very good thanks :)

[mississchic]

Good review.

[icekid206]

i just baught one and i have all ways used windows movie maker on my computer and i tried to import a video on wmm and i couldn't. does any one know what i can dl for free.

[flybikes90]

@icekid206 download PORN!

[BabyBingster]

It would've been nice to see the actual camera during this review.

[youngfreezy328]

i want that camera ima go to hsn to get it

[RebeccasMusic93]

hey I was just wondering, is this a good camera to use for recording music? I want to post videos of me playing some pieces of music, but my digital camera sucks so I was just wondering if its good or even does that?

[dwnboy15]

meh you can get an adapter cheap, i found one at the dollar tree :D

[17RainFalls]

unfortunately the sound isn´t similar with the video. but for "only" 200$ i think it´s fair.

@Technoob 7 : of course

@ darryl39...etc^^.... : i don´t think so :(

[Darryl39345]

is it possible to take still shots with that?

[Tiny1408]

ordered one of these 2day :)

[Technoob7]

hey on this video i got the best quality on 480p. 720 was really laggy. and is this camera compatible with mac osx

[iMoreAsianR]

if you lag at 720p, then your computer's processor&video card sucks. i got the best quality at 720p.

and yes this camera is compatible with Mac OS X

[massdestruction6230]

how would this film on something like a moving car. i dont need it to be steady, but would the image be choppy?

[MicahBuzan]

what is that motor sound in the background? great review b t w.

[topicrass]

can i take pictures also?

[Isismygoddess333]

That shaky pic is what I dont like,can you recommend a better comnpact?

[jemhas]

For each Flip camcorder sold $10 will be donated to GO's work in Haiti. Also Check other designs

[agness454]

With this camera is it possible to watch what you're recording through a computer? Kind of like a webcam that if you set it down and the screen doesnt face you, you can still see the picture on the computer.

[CrazyNelliboo]

Hey i have a Flip Video Ultra HD and I uploaded a video But it's fuzzy and slow on youtube, Can anyone help or give some tips or advice?

[KuntryKash]

@CrazyNelliboo It takes time for YouTube to process them. I have a few guitar videos i uploaded and before they processed they were really fuzzy and distorted. Also, YouTube compresses video uploads which is also a factor. Just give it some time, mine are quite clear now. Check them out if you want.

[BMX4LIFE733]

@engadget does it have a video input so i can record videogame gameplay straight from the tv

[TonyBlackgrave]

Yea I hated that hanging with the USB cable but I had an extension cable so i just used that.

I just need to learn how to upload it in full quality of course the long time it needs to upload is annoying when uploading directly to Youtube so I pretty much have to use the Flip Share.

I had a 6 minutes video at 460 MB and would have taken 2 hours and 30 minutes.

[Dezereofdestiny]

can you zoom when you are rec?

[soulweaponry]

Yes

[zandronovo]

can we import the clips to another softwares like sony vegas, final cut, etc? if so, would it still be in HD quality? Thanks.

[lgshine09]

no im sorry

[soulweaponry]

Yes. And yes

[PanicItsMallory]

Okay, i really need some help.

When i upload videos from my flip ultra HD to youtube they look like crap...

how can i make them look like this?

They Look GREAT until i upload them,,,,,

Should i upload if from the flipshare software,,, or directly from youtube..

I dont have any special software..

PLEASEEE HELP,,,,

and the HD button on the youtube player doesnt play my video when i push it. it just has that circle that means its connecting...

Helphelphelppp

[zodiacair]

Check out my vids for a Flip Ultra HD sample of my camaro. DIRECTLY uploaded in the original mp4 format to Youtube. If I use Windows Movie maker for example to convert the vid then when I upload it to Youtube it's not in HD quality.

So try uploading the unedited mp4 file from your Flip directly to Youtube. But keep in mind my 8 minute clip was about 500mb in HD and took about 3 hours to upload to Youtube!

[OfficialAndy]

you need to put the quality as 720p, when you edit the video (windows movie maker, sony vegas)

[strawberryfizz14]

how do u makeit hd when upload to youtube

[feeroffeer]

you can only make videos with flip video camera. when you plug it into a computer it auto recharges. I got an ultra HD today

[stardreamer911]

@feeroffeer same here!

[shortfilmguy321]

do u no how to take pics i have no idea

[PanicItsMallory]

Does the Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD work with flip ultra HD's and Windows XP

Its like fifty bucks cheaper than the other editing systemm...

Anyoneee message me back!

[GWJumpman]

of course it does, why wouldn't it?

[angl4eva777]

herky jerky saying made me laugh! hahahahahhahahahhahahahhahaaha­hhahahahaahahahahahhahahahahah­hahhahahhahahahaahahahahahhahh­ahahhahahahahahahahahahhahhaha­hahhahahhahahaahahahhhahahahah­hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah­aahahhahahahahaahahahahahahaha­hhahahhahahahahahahahahahhahah­hahahahahahhahahhahahahhahahha­haahahhahahhhhahahhahhahahhaha­hahahhahahhahahahhhahahahhahah­ahahhahahhahahahahahhahahhhaah­haahahahahahahhahhahahahhahahh­ahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhaha­hahhaahhahahahhahahahahhahahah­ahhhahahahahhaha

[PanicItsMallory]

Im getting one for christmas

But i hear Windows movie maker chops them up pretty bad..

I have Windows XP....what kind of editing system would be compatible with both the flip ultra hd and windows XP?

Anyone who knowwss please message me back?

[gregnator1]

for 100% you should try sony vegas 6.0 or 7.0 they are for windows and i use it for my flip too :) works fine

[txminiman]

@PanicItsMallory SONY VEGAS

[XxVinylsxX]

@PanicItsMallory

sony vegas 7?

[catfisher10100]

[mthlover11]

yes

[BugMoneyFishing]

yes

[Dougklohnjr]

they made it that way, with the flip usb. to get the usb cord extension its another 30 bucks. thats marketing :)

bought mine today

[willmanhi1]

RIGHT< everyone here talking about lockers. here is how i think they get there stuff.

in some industries a company will pay a certain orginizaton to find out if people like certain things for exampl" would you rathe ra fast or comfertable car?" then they would get as many results as possible and the car company will pay them to get these results so then they can apply the results to there next product so that thry know what people are looking for when they buy a car.

[willmanhi1]

then they use the money to buy prizes to get more people to join which means they get more results which  means the company will pay them more money

dunno if this is true, but thats how i see it

[chaz9123]

cannot be hacked anymore dont listen

[random88cats]

[PoetryonMusic]
