Have you ever missed videoing that magical moment because it took you too long to get your camcorder out of your bag, turned on and filming?

It’s a position that all of us have been in and it’s SO annoying.

However there’s one product that ensures you will never miss out again and it’s the Flip Video Camcorder.

The Flip Video Camcorder is what every video camera should be - quick, easy and simple to use.

How simple?

As simple as turning it on, pressing the big red button to start and the big red button to stop.

But what about the getting it out of your bag delay?

Gone. The Flip Ultra and the new even smaller Flip Mino are designed to fit into your pocket.

How about viewing it? How easy’s that?

Very. You can watch back on your Flip Video Camcorder by pressing the play button, or you can flip out the USB stick, plug it into your computer, where you can not only watch it, but also edit and get it up on Youtube to share with all your friends.

Any downsides?

It’s a bit annoying that it’s not rechargeable - it uses AA batteries.

However, you could pick up a rechargeable battery charger and batteries for a few pounds if you’re worried about the battery bill..

How much are they?

The Flip Mino isn’t out till the 9th October so I’ll have to come back to you on that one, but it’s big brother, the Flip Ultra is available for around £99.

Good idea for a Christmas present?

Definitely. This is one camera everyone can use. If you are considering it as a Christmas present my advice is buy now. This is a product all the retailers are pushing and I can see it being the one that goes out of stock the closer we get..
