Take a look at this crazy Flip Video commercial from Circuit City. Via Flip Video UK

Another day at the office for NHL star Elvin Malkin. Nice work if you can get it.

What is it with Flip Video owners and balloons? They just can’t help seeing if their Flips’ can fly. Maybe they are replacing their old Flip Video Camera with a Flip Ultra HD 3rd Generation model?

Have you seen the new Flip Video ad? Smooth camerawork!

This week Cisco has released a brand new member of the Flip family : the Flip Slide HD. The new Flip Video is available to buy right now at The Flip.com US site.

Note: UK & Euro buyers will have to wait a couple of months to get their hands on one. So we’re recommending the Flip Ultra HD at  Amazon UK.

The key features are:

  • It has a giant (by mini-camcorder standards) 3in touchscreen.
  • The touchscreen slides back and tilts up to make it easy to watch video clips alongside other people.
  • In record, the top half of the screen works as an electronic viewfinder, the lower half displays the normal Flip  navigation and zoom controls
  • Users can play a video clip straight from this screen, or turn the device on its’ side and slide the screen back for full widescreen playback.
  • The Slide HD uses an Itunes style slider to navigate quickly through your clips. Tapping the clip makes the playback start.
  • The Slide HD has 16Gb of internal flash memory and can record up to FOUR HOURS of HD video at 1,280×720 pixel resolution and 30fps in the standard H.264 video format. Or change the settings and  the Slide HD  can store up to 12 hours of compressed HD content in Mpeg 4 format.
  • Currently priced at $279.99 – Free Shipping and Free Accessory (Coupon Code: Freeac) at The Flip.com.
