It looks like a cellphone, but when you take a closer look you realize it’s actually a small camcorder.
This is Flip Video’s latest lightweight and simple-to-use camera device that you can carry around as easily as a cellphone, the Flip Ultra and UltraHD.
It only takes minutes to learn how to use the Flip Video, which can record video in high-definition (the resolution being 1280 x 720), but you’ll have to pay a higher price for that option. The unique part of this piece of technology and what gives it its ‘flip’ is the USB key that actually pops out of the body. Be careful though not to let your fingers linger at the top of the camcorder too long when you’re searching for the button to flip it out or else you’ll nick them.
The Flip Ultra and UltraHD comes in a base colour of white or black with pink, yellow and silver highlights. But if you’re not happy with that design you can create your own here.
If you don’t take a fancy to the latest Flip Video, you can also purchase the Flip Mino and MinoHD camcorders which were wildly popular in U.S.
Flip Video’s camcorders are available in Canada as of Wednesday. For a list of where you can buy this product, you can head to their website.
