This video from The Gadget Show (Five) highlights the main features of the Flip Mino 120mins and the Ultra HD 2nd Gen. You also get to see the Ultra HD waterproof housing. Makes you want a Flip?
I like the look of these Karvt Wooden skins for your Macbook Pro (also available for Iphone and Ipad). Made from real wood: either bamboo, maple, pine, and walnut, the skin comes with a 3M adhesive back to attach your device.
How about a wooden Flip Video skin to make your Flip look like a block of wood? Maybe not.
See the wooden skins at Karvt.
Check out this improvised Flip Video rig. The rig extends 8 ft and rotates almost 360%. It’s the DIY creation of a Flip fan going by the name of Fishsooup.
If you don’t have a spare drum kit, you can see more Accessories here.
Right now if you want to get a Flip with a permanent picture on the casing you have to be in the US and the service is only available for the Mino and the Slide not the Ultra.
But there’s another way. You can get skins from DecalGirl which fit all the Flip range and can be taken off if ever you want to change the picture.
- Each design is digitally printed in art-quality resolutions onto cast vinyl.
- Each skin is covered with a glossy clear laminate layer to protect the design and the device from minor scratches.
- The removable channeled adhesive doesn’t leave residue when removed.
- DecalGirl skins are thin enough to work with most third-party cases and accessories.
- Worldwide delivery.

- Flip with attitude
The Metal Motivators are Life Coaches with a Heavy Metal twist! On their recent tour they branded their Flip Mino’s and filmed the backstage goings ons. When a video is released I’ll feature it.
If you have a group or service then why not let your Flip advertise your brand whenever you’re out and about with your Flip camera. It’s like a mini-billboard.
