Did you know Amazon UK can deliver all over Europe? And it doesn’t cost a load either!
Flip today announced their new line up! They are fighting back against the new Pocket Video cameras that are flooding the market.
14.20 pm GMT Looks like their site has gone down in the excitement. UPDATE: It’s back up!
The New 8gb Flip Ultra HD
The new Flip UltraHD 2 Hour and MinoHD 2 Hour upgrade the picture quality by adding image stabilization and 60 frames per second (fps) progressive scan resolution (double that of the previous model).
This is the best news – they have provided a Flipport for third party accessories including a Wireless option.
HDMI meets FlipPort
The range of add-ons include a Scosche wireless microphone, a magnetically attachable Bower wide angle lens, a tiny iGo pico projector and a TV dock. Many of these accessories were designed specifically for Flip and utilize a new “FlipPort” connector.
UPDATE : Just noticed there will be an external hard drive option to offload footage!
The FlipPort is only available on the UltraHD 2 hour model–there is no FlipPort on the UltraHD 1 hour, or the new MinoHD. The accessories will sell for between $15 and $30.
The MinoHD line of Flip cams are also being upgraded with image stabilization and 60 fps progressive resolution–for both the 1 hour and 2 hour models. As before, the Mino’s are slimmer than the UltraHD which is now 25% slimmer than the current one.
Now Flipshare boasts direct-to-Twitter uploads, great as video is booming on Twitter who just announced video will appear inside Twitter pages.

Thanks to @karenngml for sharing this photo. The Flip was recently launched in Singapore by Actor Nathaniel “Nat” Ho who was named as the first Flip for Good Ambassador for Singapore. Nat came up with this design for his Flip Mino.
The “Flip for Good” initiative for Asia Pacific starts off in Singapore with plans to expand it to Oceania and other parts of Southeast Asia in the next 12 months. Originally launched in 2007, the programme is a donor-matching initiative designed to put the power of online video sharing to work for non-profit organisations worldwide to help achieve their goals.
The programme worldwide has supported more than 1,200 charitable organisations working across a diverse set of causes including youth development, poverty alleviation, conservation, and more. It aims to empower individuals and social entrepreneurs to use their social influence and outreach to help share moving stories and change the world.
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?
The Aposematics are an alternative/pop/rock acoustic trio based in Peoria, Illinois consisting of John Farmer, Dan Thies, and Lori Brooks. I was stunned by the quality of their latest video for the cover song ‘Stairwell’. The original was written by Julia Nunes.
I spoke to band member Lori to get some background info. Read the rest of this entry »
I spotted this Music Video ‘Dream On’ by Will EQ via Facebook. It grabbed me for 2 reasons:
- The video breaks the rules of keeping shots steady. Grabbing shots quickly with the Mino gives the video a raw, realistic quality.
- The video has been graded (color/contrast adjustments) and that makes it jump out from the average Flip Video.
WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS ADULT THEMES AND LANGUAGE.
So I contacted Mr.EQ and asked him a few Q’s of my own:
Who are you?
My Name is WiLL EQ, I am an underground hip hop artist out of Atlanta, Georgia. I’m also a writer, through the years I have written for many established artists in the music industry. My song “Dream on” was becoming popular so we decided to shoot a viral video for it. Read the rest of this entry »
- 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.
