Flip SlideHD Video Camera Review
Cisco claims that the Flip Slide HD is the “world’s best shoot and show video camera.” It’s most outstanding feature is a wide 3” touch screen that slides out and pops out for instantaneous playbacks that makes a Flip Slide HD works both as a camera and a portable theater of amazingly high definition video. The Flip Slide HD records remarkable 30fps HD video at 1280 x 720 and is equipped with 2 x digital zoom and a memory up to 16GB.
The Flip SlideHD can shoot up to 4 hours of remarkable HD video and store up to 12 hours of photos and videos in Space Saver format with the use of a built-in FlipShare software allowing a user to take their favorite footages wherever they go. The same FlipShare software is also responsible for organizing and editing video footages, capturing still photos, creating videos and sharing the photos and video footages to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. By connecting the built-in USB arm to a Mac or PC the FlipShare software is automatically launched. Videos can also be viewed on HDTVs by connecting the Flip Slide HD to the TV with the Flip Video Cable HDMI, an item that is sold separately. The Flip Slide HD also records high-quality videos that are compatible with almost all video-playing applications such as Quick Time Player, Windows Media Player, and iTunes.
With the Flip SlideHD it is easy to capture high-quality HD video anywhere anytime. When the big red button on the Flip Slide HD’s wide touch screen is pressed it starts recording clear HD video. It also has a “Child Safe” mode to avert any accidental deletion of clips or footages. Its silent mode allows recording in sensitive situations and has a Lithium-Ion battery that is rechargeable by simply connecting the Slide HD’s USB arm to a computer.
