More from the press release:
“Flip Video Ultra’s sleek new design will make it the camcorder of choice for people who want to capture and share life’s spontaneous moments, no matter where or when they happen,” said Jonathan Kaplan, Chairperson and CEO of Pure Digital Technologies. “It’s the perfect solution for anyone who wants a stylish, high quality, take-anywhere camcorder.”
Flip Video Ultra’s built-in software greatly expands the range of possibilities for users to enjoy and share their video. New features make it simple to edit clips, create custom movies, and even capture still photos from video. For the first time, the software simplifies video sharing by directly integrating with popular sharing sites like AOL and YouTube to provide a seamless experience for both private and public video sharing. This allows consumers to share their videos as easily as they would digital photos — a trend pioneered by Pure Digital.
“Flip Video Ultra makes it easier than ever for consumers to participate in the explosion of sharing video on the web,” said Kevin Conroy, Executive Vice President, Products, AOL. “Flip Video Ultra makes it simple to capture video and instantly share it with friends, family or the rest of the world via AOL.”
The Flip Video Ultra Series is available nationwide starting September 12, 2007. The 60-minute (2GB) model is priced at $179.99 and is available in four colors — white, black, orange and pink, while the 30-minute (1GB) model is $149.99 and comes in white and black. The camcorders are immediately available at Amazon, Best Buy, BestBuy.com, and Costco, and are coming soon to Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Target.com, CompUSA and other top electronics retailers. Pure Digital is also launching a line of Flip Video accessories — including a pouch, tripod, action mount, and USB extension cables.
Flip Video Ultra Features
The Flip Video Ultra Series incorporates a wide range of advanced new features, including a 1.5 inch transflective, no-glare display screen for clear viewing in even the brightest sunlight, next-generation video processing, and increased on-board memory (2 GB of memory for the 60-minute model and 1 GB for the 30-minute model). Features include:
– One-touch recording with 2x digital zoom
– Instant on-camera playback and delete
– High-speed video sharing from any PC or Mac
– One-click emailing of videos and video greeting cards

– Convenient DVD processing option at over 9,400 one hour labs nationwide
Pure Digital Flip Ultra Reviews
The Tech Talk Blog reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “They come in a variety of colors and fit in the pocket of your jeans. The 30-minute model has 1 gigabyte of memory and costs $149.99. The 60-minute model has two gigabytes and costs $179.99. The clever part of the design remains the USB port which flips out of the camera and plugs directly into a computer USB port. But you have to be careful that you don’t bump into the camcorder while it’s plugged into a PC. These camcorders are ideal for folks who want to
capture video spontaneously and then quickly upload it to YouTube.” Link.
Freep reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “The personal technology device that has most rocked my world this year is not the iPhone but a very affordable shirt-pocket-sized video camera called the Flip. Now, there’s a new model called the Flip Ultra that should appeal to even a wider audience…Of all the products I review and use each year, the Flip has been the one I get the most comments about. I haven’t given a lot of thought about the tech items I’ll be recommending this year as holiday gifts…But if you’re an early shopper in need of gift suggestions, I’m sure the Flip will be at the top of my pick list.” Link.
Camcorderinfo reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “Don’t let the advertising fool you about the performance. The Flip Ultra (1GB version $149 / 2GB version $179) has precious little in common with traditional camcorders, and is a closer relative to a webcam. True, it has its surprises. The camcorder is a hell of a performer in low light when it comes to color and brightness, beating out most entry-level camcorders. But the compression artifacts are brutal no matter the light, killing most fine detail. This is YouTube-quality video straight out of the box. If you have no plans to show your footage outside YouTube and other video sharing sites, so much the better. However, if you have plans to showcase your vacation videos on the big screen TV, do not expect a pleasant experience.” Link.
CNET reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “In the final analysis, the Ultra is a nice step forward for the Flip Video series. We’d still like to see a flip-out LCD and, more importantly, some sort of expansion slot for more memory (RCA’s Small Wonder EZ201 offers these features). While Pure Digital maintains that its user surveys show that Flip owners aren’t demanding an expansion slot, the fact is that people do take video cameras on extended vacations and don’t necessarily have a computer with them to offload their photos. If you shoot videos over a week–or even a few days–60 minutes gets used up quicker than you’d think. But even with those small knocks against the Flip Ultra, its newly upgraded software and superior video quality make the Ultra the current leader in the budget digital camcorder space.” Link.
The Tech Talk Bog reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “They come in a variety of colors and fit in the pocket of your jeans. The 30-minute model has 1 gigabyte of memory and costs $149.99. The 60-minute model has two gigabytes and costs $179.99. The clever part of the design remains the USB port which flips out of the camera and plugs directly into a computer USB port.

CEN reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “The Flip Video Ultra is an updated version of essentially the same camcorder. It now features up to 2GB of memory, has better video compression, and it still runs on a pair of AA batteries. The software has been improved a bit and you can still watch your videos on your TV with the included composite cables. I still like what this camera has to offer. It is so easy to use and it is highly portable as well.” Link.
Baller Status reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “While, the absence of an expansion slot is missing (which would have been nice), the Flip Ultra commands respect from its ease of use. Pure Digital has previously said that — via a survey of its users — Flip owners aren’t demanding an expansion slot, but if it’s brought along on extended travel without a computer hauled along, the capturing ability will be limited…Nevertheless, the Flip Ultra is a leader in its category and is a nice device for just about anybody.” Link.
EETimes reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “With an intuitive eight-button interface, a bright viewing screen, VGA video at 30 frames per second, intuitive controls, a snappy, quick-connect USB interface to computers, embedded software for downloading and viewing and APIs to YouTube, AOL, MySpace and other sites for quick uploads, the camera is both high quality and, as the Wall Street Journal so aptly puts it, “stunningly simple to use.”" Link.
Pocket-lint reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “This is a concept we like – it is so simple to shoot and share video with this pocketable device. The approach is easier than using a mobile phone and the results are better, so you are more likely to do it. Also, you can go from pocket to filming in seconds, so you don’t miss the moment…The price is perhaps a little high, at £99 this could be beyond the reach of some, considering the duplication of existing phone or camera features. A replacement for a camcorder this is not, but for capturing those passing moments and having fun with video, it’s a great little device.” Link.
Laptop Mag reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “It doesn’t take a camcorder expert to see that the new Vado pocket-sized camcorder from Creative ($99 for 2GB) is strikingly similar to the wildly popular Pure Digital Flip Camcorder (Ultra Series) ($149 for 2GB). Though Flip is rumored to be coming out with a new, smaller “mino” version of its camera, we couldn’t wait to put the older Flip Ultra up against its newest and fiercest rival…The Vado won more rounds of this fight, including specs and design, but when it comes to shooting video, the Vado must bow to the older, more experienced Flip Video Ultra. We were impressed with the Vado’s sleek design, small form factor, larger LCD and $99 price point ($50 less than the Flip Ultra), but the Flip is the pocket camcorder we would choose to record our memories–even if we did have to shell out a few more bucks.” Link.
MobileTechReview has a review of the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “Suppose you’re going for a walk one day, and across the street, you happen to spot Steve Jobs. He’s getting out of his top-secret iCar and strapping on his top-secret iJetPack. Sensing the opportunity of a lifetime, you pull our your digital camcorder, but by the time you have connected the relevant accessories and configured the settings and focus, Steve has already escaped into his top-secret iTeleporter Shuffle. Whether it’s because of an incredibly unlikely opportunity, or just the incredibly short attention span demonstrated by many people in the information age, there are a growing number of situations where even an advanced, sophisticated video camera just won’t do you any good if it is too complicated or slow to capture the action. Recognizing this huge potential market for fast, easy video cameras, Pure Digital Technologies has introduced the Flip camera line, including the new Flip Video Ultra series. As you might have guessed, the Flip Video Ultra doesn’t offer all the features or quality of a pro-level camera, but it actually comes a lot closer than you might expect. In short, if convenience is one of your highest priorities in a digital video camera, the Ultra is a slick and effective choice.” Link.
InfoSync reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “Editing a video was a pain, as there is no obvious way to save changes to a clip. You can “Save New,” but this isn’t exactly what we wanted, and there was no simple “Save” button. We were also confused by the software’s choice of saving destinations. Sometimes our videos were saved to a folder on our desktop. Other times they were placed in a folder in our default “Documents” directory…This software should have been much snappier and more intuitive all around. It did a fine job uploading directly to YouTube and AOL Videos, but there should have been more options, as Pure Digital forgoes even the most basic commands and features to make things as simple as possible.” Link.
PC World reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “Besides the pocket camcorder itself, you get a few other goodies with the Mino’s price of admission: a protective pouch, an RCA cable for watching your clips on a standard TV, a wrist strap, and basic but clear documentation…Creative’s Vado has a bargain-bin price, but as Pure Digital’s Flip Mino shows, you get what you pay for: The $180 Flip Mino is the clearly the better camcorder of the two. If video quality is what you’re after, or if you use a Mac, the Flip Mino is worth the extra scratch.” Link.
Trusted Reviews has a review of the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “Like the Vado, the Flip shoots at 640 x 480 and 30 frames/sec, which is great for YouTube compatibility but not so good if you want to burn a PAL DVD of your footage, as that will be running at 25 frames/sec and quality-reducing frame interpolation will be required. There is only one data rate available - 4.5Mbits/sec, which means the 2GB of on-board memory will be enough for an hour of footage, and there is no slot for adding any more. Instead of using a rechargeable battery, the Flip works on two AA batteries, which last a couple of hours. So, unlike the Vado, you’re not tied to a PC for power, although this is one of the reasons the Ultra is more portly…The Flip Video Ultra isn’t quite as svelte and pocket-friendly as the Creative Vado, which you can pop in a pocket like a mobile phone. But its better image quality in low light and much more extensive software features give it the edge. The Vado is cheaper, but you have to pay extra even for a video cable. So the Flip Video Ultra, with its range of fun accessories, is the device most likely to be the video sharer’s camcorder of choice.” Link.
Webuser reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “Making videos can be great fun. This falls short of the quality you’ll want if you’re videoing your wedding but for a party or magic moments with the kids, it’ll give you a moving snapshot to treasure. While nearly all mobile phones record videos, publishing them online is often a lengthy and laborious process, involving Bluetooth or bundles of wires. The people behind Flip Ultra understand this and have booted out all the features you don’t necessarily need, leaving you with just enough equipment to point, shoot and publish great quality videos online, with minimum fuss and maximum fun. While the zoom won’t let you capture live performance or sports, for everything else the Flip Ultra is a revolutionary camcorder that’s sure to win over a legion of enthusiastic Flippers.” Link.
Switched reviews the Pure Digital Flip Ultra and writes, “The Flip Video digital camcorder has become one of the most popular camcorders on the market — it’s been the best-selling camcorder on Amazon for months. Because the Flip’s cross-platform (it works on Macs and PCs) editing software is built right onto the camcorder itself, you won’t have to worry about keeping track of software install CDs or purchasing additional editing software…Why is it so popular? Well, despite the less-than-standard-TV-quality video, the Flip performed in a variety of lighting environments — color and brightness were impressive in both day and night video. The pocked-sized Flip Video Ultra is perfect for anyone looking to easily capture and share memories with friends and family.” Link.
Switched reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “The Flip Video Mino is almost $200, and yet the quality of the video is still well below what you’ll get with an entry level camcorder for just $50-$60 more. Though small, it’s still relatively thick for pockets, making the argument for using the video function on your cell phone or digicam all the more compelling. Still, what you’re paying for here is the portability and the Web-friendliness, which makes it ideal for anyone who likes to share videos on their MySpace or YouTube pages, since that functionality is built right in. Still, it’s smaller than the Kodak Zi6, making it the best choice for anyone who wants something compact without sacrificing too much video quality.” Link.
PC Pro reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “It’s an admirably straightforward camera to use and its reasonable quality makes it great for impromptu shooting, but there are some problems. The flip-out USB plug is awkward and won’t squeeze into a crowded panel of sockets, and the screen is a little small for comfort at a mere 1.5in in diagonal. It is transflective, though - a nice touch which makes it easy to read in bright sunshine…The price, though, is a more serious issue. At ?102 exc VAT, it’s pricey for a camera for only casual shooting, especially when you can now pick up a decent DV camera equipped with a good optical zoom for around the same cash.” Link.
