New Flip video camera lineup released in Canada - lithium battery pack
Cisco today launched a new series of HD ultra-HD and MinoHD pocket cameras in the Canadian market.
The series replaces the early flap model with a new size added to the flap-from an external microphone to a range of accessories for the waterproof housing --
Designed for flipping.
This project called "design for flip" opens the accessory market for third-party manufacturers and greatly improves the practicality of these pocket cameras.
Flip is a pioneer in pocket video, and while the iPhone 4 and other competitors' HD videos follow closely, this latest release may beat those who want to be able to adjust their camera with accessories, this is a limiting factor in flipping.
This is the new series to start selling today: flip over Ultra HD, 8 gb, 2 hours HD video, $ 220One a key feature that distinguishes this top model from other models is the new FlipPort, a port that allows you to take advantage of all the accessories designed for Flip programs, including the wireless microphone of Scotty, the battery extender of iGo and The Mikey of the blue microphone used to flip the external microphone.
I used flip in interviews and other videos and I found that the lack of an external microphone is a drawback, so flipping the port is an improvement that can overcome some problems.
I'll be interviewed at a crowded meeting, and unless this flip actually shows up on the face of the subject, it's hard to say that.

I tried the new Flip UltraHD and compared it to the video on my iPhone 4.
