I am so excited I can't stand it! Yes, I'm a "techy geek" and I just love being on the cutting edge.  Two weeks ago I attended the CRS 206 Technology Course  and I just had to have the Flip Video.  Our instructor, Mike Selvaggio, did a quick demo and it was love at first sight!!  The Flip Video seems incredibly simple and easy to use and takes up to 60 minutes of videos.  So, I ordered one the same day I got back from the class.  CNET has a gadget blog where they posted a slideshow on the Flip Mino unveiling which I thought I'd share with those who might be interested.   

The Fedex guy came to my house on Thursday with my new Flip Mino Video and I wasn't home -Imagine that (they require a signature for delivery).!! Then I had to head out of town to Pinehurst for the State Tennis Tournament.  So, I have to pick up my Flip Video tomorrow at the FedEx office in Durham.   

In route to picking up my new "techy toy" I thought I'd pull up a few tutorials on the Flip Video and share the Best of Active Rain FlipVideo blogs for your reference.  Actualy, Brad Andersohn's Flip Video series says it all.  You can find his series here:

Even Business Week wrote an article called Pure Digital Flips the Script demonstrating how a bare bones camcorder can compete with giants like Sony!  More articles related to the Flip Video can be found here. 

Now that we have that out of the way I'm ready to start using my Flip Video!

Hi Donna,

I brought mine in the office and 3 or 4 agents have bought one.  I think they are intimidated and haven't taken theirs out of the box yet.  However, it truly is EASY to use.

Tracy,

I have played around with the Flip Ultra and have several posts on my AR blog.  Flip is a great solution if that is the only video camera you have, however I believe that if you have a MiniDV tape camcorder (as many of us parents already do), that a good camcorder with the digital tape is better for self produced listing videos. 

For video blogging, I love the FLIP!  My listings and other community projects will b produced with my MiniDV camcorder.

Embed some of your videos as soon as you get them uploaded.

I have a little cheap version of the video camera. It cost about $100 at Walgreens and it works great! I use it to video tape my listings and upload them to Realtor.com

I just ordered my own & I'm chomping at the bit waiting for it to arrive!

My office caught onto this concept & I'm proud to say is the first in our area to introduce this new marketing idea!  Since I'm impatient & don't want to wait till one of the 3 becomes available to try, I just ordered my own on Amazon.

I'll play with it & let you know how user friendly it is....after all, I am computer/techno challenged!

I'm working on a video post based on some pictures that I'm going to merge together, add music, etc on my area.  I think it will send a powerful message.  I'm also working on embedding these into my profile.  It's really progressive thinking!

Hi Tracy,

I bought a flip for my son and thing i like is that the buyer can design flip camera before they buy it . I uploaded pic from the my son computer of one fav bands ( with out him Knowing) it was so easly to do you should of see his face when he got it.

Now i read that Cisco has spent $590 million for Pure Digital Technologies the makers of the flip video. I only see the flip going from strength to strenght.
