Pure Digital Flip Video Camera Ultra Series Camcorder 60 Min Best Price and Review

November 20, 2007

The Flip Video Ultra Camcorder by Pure Digital is a force to be reckoned with in the lower end video recorders. It’s very lightweight design and slim profile make this a favorite among portable video recording devices.

So, how does this little video recorder perform when put to the test? With it’s 2GB capacity you get around 60 minutes of video recording time. Not too shabby for something so small. A total of 60 minutes does not sound like much but you are usually not constantly recording and should do the trick unless you are a huge video nut.

The Flip Video Ultra has a 1.5 inch LCD screen, a built in microphone and a zoom lens. It also has a built in TV out port and a USB port so you can plug in to your nearest PC and download the videos you have just recorded. Also, it stores the videos in either MPEG 4 or AVI format so it is compatible with importing into your favorite video editing software.

The Bad

There is not much to say here other than there is no SD/MMC card expansion slot which kind of stinks. That would be a nice addition to see in the next generation of the Flip Video devices.

Conclusion

This model has been greatly improved over the previous generation. With it’s improved video quality, slimmer design and upgraded software, the Pure Digital Flip Video Ultra is gaining great momentum in the lower end digital recorders category and becoming very popular for a reason. This is a nice and cheap way to record digital video without killing your wallet.
