Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes (Black)

Great price and great camera , my only complaint is that amazon recomended that we buy a tripod to go with this camera and when we did the camera has no threaded hole for the tripod to mount too very dispointing we had to return it the tripod , they gave us credit but really would have liked a flip camera with a threaded hole for a tripod , other that that it works good , goes thru batterys pretty fast found that its best to use rechargeable batterys target had the best price on those rayovac hybrid recharable ,

I had been searching for an inexpensive, small video camera to use to film motorcycle trips. The Flip is ideal for that purpose. Even from the back of the bike, the shaking is minimal and road noise is not overwhelming.

What amazed me most though, is that shortly after buying the camera (on its first few uses, while I was on a bike trip) lines began to appear across the LCD view screen. The lines got wider and interfered more with the image seemingly every time I used the camera, although they never appeared in the final video once it was uploaded to my computer.

I contacted Flip through their website. After 2 or 3 emails back and forth, trying to troubleshoot the issue, I was given an RA number and asked to ship the camera back.

I did so, and waited for it to be repaired. To my surprise, the UPS notification email came less than a week later. I was sent a brand new unit still in the clamshell packaging. I was very impressed with the service and I am very happy with this camera.

So far, for the money, this is the best camcorder I've ever had. Easy to use, so it gets used.

Very easy to operate, uncomplicated controls,so small you can carry it in your shirt pocket. Does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well. I take it to dance classes and then save the session to my computer. Pics taken from video look better than some still cameras. I love this this little recorder.

We love this flip. It's cheap, easy to use, light, and has good built-in software for posting videos to Youtube. It also has a great microphone. It picks up sound from the person taking the video and everyone around it. The other thing that I like about it is that is uses 2 AA batteries. It's nice to have a piece of electronic equipment without a charger to plug in!
