The New 8GB Flip MinoHD Features a Bigger Two-Inch Screen
Familiar with all of the pocket-sized Flip Video Cameras? Well the tiniest of the Flip family — the Flip Mino — has just introduced a new camera to its Flip MinoHD line.
You can now pick up a new MinoHD for $230 which can record up to 120 minutes of footage (which is double the time from the previous version) and it features a new 2-inch anti-glare display.
The Flip Ultra SD Video Cam vs. the New Nano
Now that the new iPod Nano is here, we're all elated at the fact that it features a larger, 2.2-inch LCD display and a built-in FM radio tuner, but the best part has got to be the included video camera. Being the owner of a Flip Video Camera — which is pocket-sized and very user friendly — I was tempted to see if the video quality on the new Nano is comparable to the Flip. The NewTeeVee crew decided to put both to the test in a side-by-side comparison.
Ellen DeGeneres's Awards Show Must Have: A Video Camera
Last night at the Teen Choice Awards in LA, funnywoman Ellen DeGeneres made sure to capture every eventful moment with her pocket-size Flip Mino Camcorder. This isn't the first time we've seen her accept an award while filming the entire experience; back in 2006 at the 32nd Annual People's Choice Awards, she brought along her Sony Handycam. And just in case you were wondering, she won "Choice Twit" for being the favorite Twitterer!
Guess Who Is Flipping Out?
Another day, another star flipping out with their Flip video camcorder! Can you figure out who it is? Here's a clue: she is recording her son having some fun in the sun and sand.
Flip Video Announces New FlipShare Video Sharing Software
The best thing I learned in kindergarten was that sharing is caring, and that's still one of my major tenets. It's one for Flip Video too — the company whose simple, portable video cameras made it easy to capture video is now making it just as easy to share the videos you make with your camera with new FlipShare software, just announced today.
FlipShare allows you to easily upload videos to websites like YouTube and MySpace, email them to friends, and sets you up with your own Flip Channel, where you can watch videos on the go.
Testing 1, 2, 3: The Flip UltraHD Review
To help capture some Memorial Day weekend festivities, I took the latest camcorder from Pure Digital Technologies — the Flip UltraHD — out for a test drive. Since the first Flip was announced in 2006, these simple-yet-sophisticated cams have not only been the video camera of choice among celebrities, but the general public has fallen in love with them as well (with sales skyrocketing after Oprah sang its praises).
Why is the UltraHD getting so much attention?
Recording You, Recording Me
Looks like Vanessa Hudgens has taken a cue from Beyonce by adding a Flip Video digital camcorder to her gadget collection.
Now I can't quite place what caught her attention at LAX (or at least what's worthy of some camera-time), but I will say this — Zac seems just about as thrilled about the camera as he is about Twitter and other social networking sites!
With up to two hours of recording time on the new Flip UltraHD, Vanessa's capturing fun can last for 120 minutes — and that's even high-def quality.
Match the Celeb With the Camera
So she didn't quite make our Stars Flipping Out Flip video slideshow, but she certainly deserves to be a part of it! During a recent trip abroad, this fashionable celebrity made sure to keep her Flip digital camcorder on her at all times — capturing every memorable moment to show to family and friends later. Know who it is?
Conan O'Brien Is New to the Flip Video Celeb Crew
Just when I thought I had included the best of the best in my stars flipping out with their Flip video cameras slideshow, none other than Conan O'Brien shows off his geekery in LA yesterday.
And who is the adorable subject that Conan is capturing with his ultra-compact Flip Mino? That would be his son Beckett, who was taking a little pony ride in Griffith Park.
Do You Take Personal Videos?
Pure Digital made big news last week when it was bought by Cisco for $590 million, which is a sign that its products, the Flip video cameras, are as valuable to the world as they are to me.
I credit the Flip with getting a lot of people to take short personal videos (celebs seem to love them). You no longer have to commit to a big, expensive camcorder; you can whip out your cell phone, your digital camera, or your Flip.
