 Flip UltraHD Model U2120B November 20, 2009
Bruce W. Miller (Indiana, USA)
Awesome out of the box experience. I had the Flip Ultra HD unboxed and recording in about 2 minutes. Very simple, user friendly controls. The rechargeable battery had enough charge to make a few short videos. The video quality is outstanding.
My only complaint is that it needs charged by a PC. It was not clear in the advertising that you needed to purchase an optional wall plug. It charges by USB.
The built in FlipShare software is very easy to install and use. I made a 5 minute video of my two cats running around and put their antics to the Benny Hill Theme. The process took a whole 5 minutes. Again I love this camera
 Flippin' Frustrated! November 18, 2009

I purchased my Flip HD Ultra directly from the Flip site and bought accessories from Amazon. While recording video is flippin simple and the unit is so flippin compact--trying to get their mp4 into any other software for editing is flippin frustrating. I'm so ticked that they advertise the format as mp4 as in truth it should be mp4a or mp4b so that you know it is NOT the typical mp4 format that so easily imports into all other video software editing programs. The flippin MP4 that FLIP uses is absolutely proprietary and only works in their flippin' limited software.
I'm flippin frustrated with their customer support and no solutions for what I consider to be misleading advertising. If they had advertised they were using a proprietary version of mp4...I NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS!
Plastic Toy November 18, 2009

Be careful, this product is utterly inferior, so much so that I am inspired to do my first product review of any kind. This item is purely a child's toy typically found under the xmas tree. Really bad resolution, color and contrast. I am quite experienced with photography and video, therefore my warning - stay away! (BTW I am absolutely sure that the product I received was in PERFECT working condition and my operation of it was completely competent.) I returned it (Amazon Prime) the same day I received it after extensive testing.
Flip is simple to operate, good quality, and great value! November 18, 2009

The Flip UltraHD is well worth it!!!!!!!!! It's simple operating features make taking video fun and easy. Video's or still photos can be put together with easy to use flip software. This video camera is so compact, it can be placed in your pocket. The 120 minutes of video is more than sufficient. The battery holding charge is good, and you can use regular batteries if needed. There is also a convenient electrical outlet adapter charger available.
 The Flip - Simple, with all the good and bad that comes with that November 17, 2009

Just got the Flip Ultra HD and filmed a video interview with a band after a concert, as well as some random stuff around the apartment.
The Good: This thing is dead simple to use, and the quality is really good, so you can't go wrong there. If you want to film something on the go, or use a tripod for some static shots, and then immediately combine some of the shots you take or just send them right along to YouTube or someone's email, you can't go wrong.
The Bad: The software sucks if you want to do anything other than above. Not only that, but if you play around with the videos before deciding what you want to do with them (pull them off the Flip and put 'em on your harddrive; try to edit in another program; etc.) good luck to you, because you've just screwed the pooch. The Flip stops recognizing its own videos. The software can do almost nothing in terms of editing beyond the aforementioned combining of videos. Getting the videos (.MP4 format) into other programs is often a hassle. The HD is enough to require a fairly up-to-date system in order to watch the videos smoothly and fool around with them.
Summary: The Flip's simple and fun. If you're a techy, you can probably figure out work arounds for the problems, and if you do so, then you've got a formidable portable camera. If you're not very technologically adept and you have in the whispers of a thought that you might want to do more than just combine two videos (what if a shot comes out slightly wrong, or a random sound screws up what you were going for, or any other number of issues that you want to edit out easily?), then avoid the Flip. There are other options that are more versatile than the Flip.
Helpful Tip: If you do like the Flip, download Google's Picassa. It may not be the best software ever, but it's got a leg up in some areas and is pretty easy to get the hang of, as well as being free. Personally, it's what I use currently, but I'll definitely be investing in something more robust in the near future. Picassa's a great starting point though, a hundred times better than the Flip's own software.
