How I mount my Flip Ultra HD to my car

[SimplyUltraTech]

where did you get the car mount?

[volcomvane1]

Dwight K Shrute????

[589h]

does the flip have a screw hole in the bottom dor like a 3/4 or 1/2 inch hole

[rmdembroski]

@589h Standard Tripod Mount

[tylerjohn97]

Screw this. Two Words. Duct. Tape.

[CaliforniaOpenRoad]

You can call it "Fender Cam"

[CaliforniaOpenRoad]

Really? Attaching a camera to the OUTSIDE of the car? One big bump and it's all over for that gear.

[rmdembroski]

@CaliforniaOpenRoad Actually, we tested that exact setup to 90mph mounted off the front of the car, just inches above the ground. Didn't go anywhere! And, that's why I love these flips (and now GoPros) because they're so inexpensive compared to our pro gear - if we lose it it's only $300ish as opposed to $5K - $10K

I have an Inspiron E1705 laptop with an Intel Core duo processor T2250 @ 1.73GHz 1.73 GHz, 1GB of RAM, 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate operating system, ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 graphics, 17" color screen. Can I play, edit, and upload videos from the Vado HD with this laptop? Also, could you do a video tutorial on how to use VirtualDub with the Deshaker plugin, specifically for the Vado HD?

[forwardmover]

Anybody know what they call that mount, where you can put a flip on a 2+ foot pole type device, and video tape oneself, while walking around? I am going nuts trying to find that on the internet. Thanks!

[rmdembroski]

@forwardmover Photojojo has a "Collapsible Camera Extender"

[Bentley2843]

@forwardmover ya bro, its called a monopod. shits are cool, ebay or amazon have some good ones for cheap

[CAOP24]

would this suction cup work underwater? i need some kind of mount for my kodak playsport for use in on my school's swim team.

[rmdembroski]

@CAOP24 I'm not sure - but I'm leaning towards no. Check the Film Tools website and see if they have anything rated for underwater use.

[filicheese718]

where could you possibly buy this mount? any main brand or store you know it will be a good quality product?

[rmdembroski]

@filicheese718 Look around online - I got mine at Filmtools

[djfrankis]

will attaching velcro to the flip ultra hd and the car work?

[rmdembroski]

@djfrankis I'm not sure I'd trust that.

[jetaimeex3]

does it ruin the flip?!?!

[rmdembroski]

@jetaimeex3 Depends on what you mean by ruin. Does it void your warranty? Yes.

[rmdembroski]

@jetaimeex3 Actually - let me clarify, the wide angle lens mod I've done to the Flip voids the warranty. Mounting the camera to the car doesn't unless you hit something or it falls off.

[HellsAngles100]

how do u get a subtitle whilst in video?

[torawfordiz]

were can i find a lence like that

[billybobfrenchfries]

how did you do the fisheye lens on the flip i have one and i want a different camera because it dosnt have threads

[McCreathBen]

Whats the mount called?

[foley0925]

Omg its giving the car a hickey

[PunkBoy755]

demo footage?

[rmdembroski]

@PunkBoy755 Check out basically any of my other videos with the Ford Fiesta

[gary42484]

is there a way to mount the flip on the INSIDE of your car? i see people on here like shaytards and different people filming while driving but it doesn't look like they are just holding the camera in the air or i think the video would be all over the place. so is there a way to mount inside the car as in on the windshield or something? PLEASE RESPOND lol this has been bugging me for forever!

[rmdembroski]

@gary42484 When I film in the car I just use the same mount on the windshield or side windows. It just vacuums right to the glass.

[gary42484]

@rmdembroski Thanks. How much is one of those mounts and where can you find them at?

[rmdembroski]

@gary42484 I picked mine up at Filmtools. I think it was like 50 bucks.

[TheGreatDm]

Nah he looks like that guy from the office

[vlogition]

You sound like John Malcovic

[supersnot4]

I just bought a GoPro HD Hero camera, and it came with a very good suction mount. it takes 2 seconds to put it on, and hard as I pull, I can't get it off. I actually used it to pull a dent out of a car door, which they say you can do on the web site. all that and it's very small and discreet.

[kadinpwn999]

you look abit like Alton Brown

[DudeTheGamer]

partyguy9 Which one?

[AddemRector]

He reminds me of dwight from the office.

[partyguy9]

u look like tht guy from the food network

[rmdembroski]

[partyguy9]

[partyguy9]

@rmdembroski i dnt watch the channel tht much so idk wat his name is but he wares glasses and explains facts about food

[boywithcamera7]

[Deschain420]

@rmdembroski He must mean Alton Brown...

[lacrossedefense]

[TheAnthemsOfTime]

@partyguy9 Alton Brown?

[partyguy9]

@TheAnthemsOfTime yupp lol

[FoxhoundJay]

I'm sorry, but what was the name of the suction mount/who makes them?

[rmdembroski]

@FoxhoundJay You can get them from FilmTools

[YoChr1s09]

the 1st 5 seconds, do you use Final Cut Pro for the text? or another program?

[rmdembroski]

@YoChr1s09 Final Cut Pro all the way!

[TheStraightMusic]

i still dont get what your trying to do?

i have a question after you record 120 minutes on 8gb flip ultra hd can you still record more?

[rmdembroski]

Mine records up to 120minutes, that's it.

[irocknunoit91]

i have an ultra hd too .. can u tell me how to upload my vids in to 720 HD ?? i use flipshare to upload

[rmdembroski]

@irocknunoit91 I haven't been able to get flipshare to output in HD - I use final cut pro

[hdcool09]

@TheStraightMusic they dont have one with 8gb and if so you would get 240mins(4hrs) oft of 8gb

[IUSECAMERAS]

hey rmd what app are using for this particular video with the text and stuff?

[rmdembroski]

I use Final Cut Pro for all of my editing needs!

[IUSECAMERAS]

thx dude.

[CrazyAssault]

were can i get final cut pro

[rmdembroski]

I bought mine at the Apple Store.

[CrazyAssault]

last question sorry for bothering you but is it just me or is flip really difficult

[valetdabess]

i think i'll use duck tape

[rmdembroski]

Good Luck!

[Casman011]

Thats what i did on my ATV just not with a flip, i dont want to ruin it

[ontopof2009]

The video from this camera is incredibly smooth. Did you use post-processing to reduce the shakiness? Can you provide some details on that?

[rmdembroski]

No post-processing, just a steady hand!

[ontopof2009]

Sorry, I meant the video from the Flip Ultra HD mounted to the outside of the car. I would expect that video to be really shaky from all the bumps in the road, etc...

[rmdembroski]

Also no post processing there - the mount is solid enough to keep things from bouncing around. The car can bounce around all it wants then.

[smereudere1]

what is the exact name of the mount and how much was it?thanks

[rmdembroski]

It's called 'the cleat' I don't remember how much it was - go to filmtools and look it up :) Probably 50ish.

[kitttykat248]

cool, i've been wanting a flip for a while, how much did it cost?

[rmdembroski]

I think they run about 200ish

[shrekpower]

what camera were you using for THIS video?

[rmdembroski]

Flip Mino HD

[shrekpower]

I really appreciate your response, was it a "hacked" mino or a normal one

[shrekpower]

And since you look good with camera stuff I'm looking to get a camera like a flip ultra hd or mino but I'm also interested to buy a Canon sd780 instead of a flip what do you think about that?

[rmdembroski]

The Mino was "unhacked"

Canon sd780 looks good on paper. Depending on how the video looks it might be worth it for a real zoom lens and still capability.

[Blackfyer598]

but wat happens when your right next to a stop sign

[aVeryNiceRafael]

where did you buy this mount from?

[rmdembroski]

I think I got it from FilmTools

[ongBakvue]

what camcorder were you using to record this?

[rmdembroski]

Flip Mino HD

[kdizzle1411]

Do you happen to know of any screen protectors for the lense that wont cause the video to blur?

[rmdembroski]

No. But if you find one make sure to let everyone here know!

[kdizzle1411]

will do!

[quietman18]

Perhaps you could attach a clear filter over the lens to protect it.

[rmdembroski]

You absolutely could, depending on the lens that you use.

[OhhItsMeDanny]

what if it falls of? :P

bye bye flip

[rmdembroski]

Technically you should use a safety harness. - I didn't for this shoot because I wasn't actually driving the car more than a few feet.

[lilbitrandom22]

where did u get the mount  again?

[rmdembroski]

Checkout the FilmTools website.

[gixxerkid6]

how much does one of those vacuum mounts run for?

[rmdembroski]

I think mine were like $50

[BusilyxSave]

Why is there a bag over your car? o.o

[rmdembroski]

I was making a mission video for the FiestaMovement where I paint with the wheels of the car. The plastic was to protect the paint - it really ended up just getting in the way.

[studfmuffin]

its Dwight, from the office..

[rmdembroski]

Hah! I wish. That would be a sweet gig!

[studfmuffin]

haha yeah it would

[TouringBubble]

I use the same Woods vacuum mount on my car.  It works great. I also use the upside-down mounting often ... these little cams are really versatile.
