Some people would think this is a phone or voice recording devices, many in the family or the journalists who take advantage of the efficiency of this tiny camera records.
The reason behind its design is simple, lightweight, and unique, Flip UltraHD is equipped with a camcorder that records quality 720p (HD). Light weight was easy to put into your pocket to be invited to take a walk.
No need to bother to capture the footage from the camcorder to your PC like other products. After recording a video, users simply inserted into this box thing and immediately upload video recordings on the internet.

The record button itself is designed in the middle with the color red dots. Press once to do the recording, press again to turn it off. The power button located on the right side, while the flip-out USB key in his left side.
Good Enough Quality Video, but unfortunately ...
Basically, UltraHD has a resolution of 1280x720 pixels at 60 fps. Unfortunately there is no ability to capture images on this UltraHD Flip.
On the one hand, this tiny camcorder offers many advantages. But on the other hand, Ultra HD also has many disadvantages.
Besides can not be used to photograph, these products also do not have a variety of video effect. It seems that Cisco wanted to bring a camcorder Flip appear what it is. DetikINET when tested, these products also do not have external SD memory.
The least fatal, UltraHD not equipped with built-in flash. As a result when the results come across any low-light conditions become less than the maximum.
In general, the end product functionality is only record-plug-uploaded. Fortunately, the ability of the USB port is quite good. There was no fatal connection problems when transferring data to a PC.
One more thing, when I want to do the charging, never looking adapter. The reason, Cisco has designed UltraHD to absorb power directly from the USB plug. The display also will show the charging indicator.
Another thing that makes detikINET interested in this product is a special port called HDMI flipPORT. As the name implies, Cisco is specially designed 16-pin plugs are for the exclusive accessories needs their products, such as microphone and extra battery pack.
Video and Battery Performance
From the test results, UltraHD have about 1.5 hours of battery life when used in full to death. With 8 GB of memory, more or less the user can load video content for two hours
This product has two types of batteries: charging and AAA. When the battery charge runs out, users just replace with three AAA batteries in it.
Disease for all types of camcorder without flash is the noise. Likewise with this product. Although can absorb low lighting conditions, but still seemed a bit forced image contrast. As a result of the video emerged grain points or interpolation artifact.
One thing positive, classified UltraHD have the ability 'anti shake' is good enough. When the test record video while running, the resulting video is not too rocking.
Pros:
+ 60 fps shooting speed
+ The battery can be replaced or AAA Lithium Cell
Disadvantages:
- No lights flash
- Can not be used to photograph
Conclusion:
All the features and performance on prospective buyers premises must be paid at $ 288. I think the price is right, considering the advantages and disadvantages. With a practical form and function, this camera suitable for accompanying family vacation time.
