Flip with attitude

The Metal Motivators are Life Coaches with a Heavy Metal twist! On their recent tour they branded their Flip Mino’s and filmed the backstage goings ons. When a video is released I’ll feature it.

If you have a group or service then why not let your Flip advertise your brand whenever you’re out and about with your Flip camera. It’s like a mini-billboard.

This week Cisco has released a brand new member of the Flip family : the Flip Slide HD. The new Flip Video is available to buy right now at The Flip.com US site.

Note: UK & Euro buyers will have to wait a couple of months to get their hands on one. So we’re recommending the Flip Ultra HD at  Amazon UK.

The key features are:

  • It has a giant (by mini-camcorder standards) 3in touchscreen.
  • The touchscreen slides back and tilts up to make it easy to watch video clips alongside other people.
  • In record, the top half of the screen works as an electronic viewfinder, the lower half displays the normal Flip  navigation and zoom controls
  • Users can play a video clip straight from this screen, or turn the device on its’ side and slide the screen back for full widescreen playback.
  • The Slide HD uses an Itunes style slider to navigate quickly through your clips. Tapping the clip makes the playback start.
  • The Slide HD has 16Gb of internal flash memory and can record up to FOUR HOURS of HD video at 1,280×720 pixel resolution and 30fps in the standard H.264 video format. Or change the settings and  the Slide HD  can store up to 12 hours of compressed HD content in Mpeg 4 format.
