This is a great product. Similar in price to the slimmer version and the older version (and actually cheaper than the former on amazon.com) it has more video storage than the slim one, and is less bulky than its predecessor. The flip UltraHD Camcorder has 120 minutes of video. It has a slightly longer battery life than the original. It is also easy to use, easy to travel with and easy to upload onto your computer with its convenient USB arm which attached to any port in a multitude of computer types.

As was the case with other Flip Camcorders, this one can be uploaded onto youtube, aol, gmail, facebook or other similar programs or can be stored on the flip video library which appears on your screen after you plug it in.

  Overall Rating

  I bought the flip hd on sale from Amazon not expecting much, but I was wrong, it does all we need in a compact camcorder. I took it to the beach this past weekend and the HD videos look awesome outdoors. For us, 2 hours of video is more than enough for most occasions.

  I rate it four stars only because the video quality can look quite granny in low light conditions.
