Flip Video Battery Pack for 2nd Generation Ultra & UltraHD: Customer Reviews & Product Details

This is a neat little camcorder that one can carry in a pocket or purse. It takes high quality videos and is easy to transfer to the computer or see on TV (with an additional cable). Maybe I've missed it, but my only question so far is that I don't see where it tells me how much battery life is remaining. Haven't had to recharge it with several uses. One of the strong points is the Flip's ability to take videos in low light situations! No need for bright lights, so you can take them discreetly. I filmed a wedding recently and no one even noticed! Also used it at a Baptism. The funny little tripod helps hold it still,if you want to film very long. I'm quite happy with it's quality and easy use.

I should mention that the battery cover may be easy to break. I bought a back-up battery pack, thinking that I to with two sets, use one up, put in the new one and film for up to 4 hrs. In reality I don't think it is intended to use that way. One may damage the battery cover if they open it too often.

The USB plug in design is a real problem. I purchased three Flip Cameras for our office. The two Flip UltraHD Camcorder are working great, but this camera has only worked with our Macs a few times. Most of the time the camera can't seem to make a connection to transfer videos or receive a charge. The problem is not just with connecting with the computer, but the camera does not work well with the Flip Video Power Adapter, which I also purchased.

The extra small size has the potential of making this a great camera, but it's poor USB design makes this a waste of a purchase.

great product for charging ultra FLIP. No more AA batteries. It is easy to recharge them, also.

NOT NECESSARY SINCE A BATTERY PACK COMES WITH YOUR PURCHASE, BUT IT IS A NICE EXTRA TO HAVE IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A POSITION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO RECHARGE YOUR CAMCORDER.

I purchased this video camera for my husband without knowing whether he would enjoy using a video camera. He has really enjoyed it. It is light, compact, fits in your pocket. You can take it everywhere. We are not sure how to connect the individual shoots into one cohesive video yet, but I'm sure he will work it out. The portability outweighs the limited zoom power and microphone so far.
