Flip – Awesome Product

Filed under: Musings — MetzgerBusiness @ 12:13 am

I recently got my flip which I absolutely love. It’s so easy to use and I have captured much of my kids that I otherwise would not have. I need to remember to bring the camera around more often because it has been a blast. I don’t know what exactly it is about the flip but it completely changes the way I look at video.

Importing and uploading videos has been a blast too. The flip software has taught me the value of cropping clips and has made it easy to upload videos.

While I do absolutely love this product there is one thing I don’t like about the software, I can’t tag my videos when loading to Youtube and yet the flip automatically tags the video with FlipShare. I think this is a significant flaw in the software. They should provide me the option of tagging the video and allow me to choose if I’ll add the FlipShare tag. Asked I will, but as long as I’m not being asked I’ll go up to YouTube and remove the tag since I have to add my own up there anyway.

All the same I think the camera and import software are incredibly easy to use a great value and worth buying unless your some kind of videophile. I’m not so it suites me fine.

Hey Flip let me know if you change the software so I can upgrade.

Oh Yeah I wrote this review instead of video as my one boycot against the Flip because of the software design. Otherwise I recommend buying it.
