USB mics and handheld audio recorders for audio, and now The Flip for video – all New Media legends.
As I record, the Flip is taking consumer and citizen journalism (not to mention entertaining videos) to new heights. A small, solid state device that records SD or HD video and can slip into your pocket. No cables to carry or software to load. Just ‘Flip’ open the side and a USB port appears.
The ingenious embedded software suite stays right with the camera! Mix clips, add transitions and backing tracks with a few mouse clicks.
We continue to use the great little Flip Mino with its internal battery, but the Ultra series (2x AA batteries) appealed to me even more since off-the-shelf batteries can be popped in any time. The Mino uses the USB connection for charging too.
I just had to try the little UltraHD. Besides the small issue of stabilization, any of the Flips are winners.
While my Panasonic pro camera can’t be replaced, I just don’t always have it with me like the Flip. Slip it in your pocket and you’re ready to catch video on the go.
Listen in as Laura makes an appearance and we talk Flip.
