FLIP ULTRA HD Camcorder – Leveraging Youtube EVERYDAY

18 August 2009

Today I found myself watching a video I clicked off of Youtube’s “Being Watched Now” videos on the homepage by CTFxC called “Chinese Food Makes Me Sick“. Its completely random and funny LOL.


I’ve been shopping around for an inexpensive HD camcorder. I plan on publishing them on youtube (naturally) for promotional purposes. So, anytime I see high quality videos on youtube, the first thing I ask is what kind of camcorder they used.

After watching this video, I clicked on their profile to check them out and I noticed an interesting fact; They’re using a portable HD camcorder! yup, you guessed it, the Flip Ultra HD. This is particularly interesting for me because they are the second youtubers that say the same things, “I am making a video EVERY DAY…”

The first youtuber I found using this same format is Shaytards (created by Shaycarl)

In this video, he product drops: “using my Flip cam”

Coincidence? maybe, maybe not!

I think the makers of Flip camcorders realize that many people are asking the same question I am, “What type of camcorder do you use for your videos?” – I believe that these youtube accounts are viral campaigns to show off the video capabilities of their affordable handheld HD camcorder – very smart.

    I think the Ultra is a great camera and VERY popular by YouTube users. I have a few complaints, I wish you could see the screen while filming your self (ie: Sony Webbie, etc), and I wish it had better (or some) image stabilization. The Kodak Zi8 is also very popular.

    Overall, any of the Flip Video devices (Mino HD or Ultra HD) are great, and for the dollars, it’s hard to beat. Very compact and easy to always have on you.

    The “Chinese Food Makes Me Sick“ vid.. is hilarious.

    Thanks for the comment CF,
    Yeah, i just saw a video on youtube by these guys that took a Flip and a new Ipod Nano and did a side by side video shoot with them. The Flip was so much better! I mean the Flip doesn’t playback video, music or sync with your nike+ equipment, but the video quality is definitely a reason to buy one of them; portable hd cams are awesome now.
