Flip video - 'a masterstroke of simplicity'

Used by both celebrities and mere mortals alike the Flip camera has been described as 'the darling of videobloggers', 'a masterstroke of simplicity' and 'an A list item'. We decided to buy one as a training aid so that learners could be assessed on their presentation skills without the need for extensive national travel by our facilitators. To be honest we weren't expecting much from the Flip camera. It was only £75 and, using the old adage 'you get what you pay for', we thought that both sound and picture quality would be quite poor, that the batteries would last seconds rather than hours and that it would take us weeks to learn how to use it. However I am happy to report that we have been proven wrong on all counts! The Flip camera is very easy to use, so easy in fact that we have now sent one out to a number of customers who are all busily sending back their films. Picture quality is good (although shaky hand syndrome can be a problem) and sound is very good as long as background noice isn't too loud. Videos can be downloaded to your computer in seconds with the software installing itself. Extremely useful for giving learners immediate feedback on presentation and training skills or simply filming your colleagues for your own entertainment!
