Flip Ultra Hack - Make it Macro (+Shallow DoF)

To alleviate some boredom I cracked open my Flip Ultra and changed the focal length so it shoots video with something like a macro lens - this also ended up creating a shallower depth of field.

It's easy. Once you open the thing up, you can actually turn the lens housing and change the focal length. I also added 3/4 CTO near the sensor to see if that would warm things up as well.

The video is the result.
