Flip Ultra HD and My First Video - Snow Dogs

So, I won a Flip UltraHD video camcorder at Dreamforce.com in San Francisco last month (thanks SalesForce.com). Last weekend, I shot some video and used image and movie making software that comes pre-loaded on the Flip's flash drive. It was really easy to use and fun. I made 3 movies and uploaded them to Facebook for all to see.

The Flip is an great little camera. I'm impressed with the picture quality, ease of use and the integration with social media sites. I am really enjoying the flip and see lots of uses for it, but for work - like how-to videos for marketing automation, web analytics, etc. One of my pet projects is to figure out how to create a chest mount to wear the flip while skiing and mountain biking. I found a case that will fit the Flip at Best Buy and will be modifying it for my chest harness.

Here's one of my videos. I grabbed my skiis and took the dogs out for a quick lap around the golf course pond. I hope you enjoy it.

Pros: Easy To Catch, Consistent, Sturdy, Accurate

Cons: None

Best Uses: Recreation, Beach

Describe Yourself: Recreational player

I love this product. I've used all of Aerobie's products and the 10" superdisc is the best all-around. My current disc is almost 3 years old. It's stored outside year round on the patio table, just in case we feel like a quick game - and other than a slight discoloration - it flies as good as day 1.

We've played with it at the beach - BTW, it floats, unlike the aerobie ring, which sinks. Easy to throw, the soft edge is easy on your hands. It flies far and smooth. If you have lots of space (you'll need it), break out the ring and get ready to run. Amazing distance!

This has been great for my family. My teenage boys, their friends and I (I'm 46) have played for hours. We BBQ a lot, and we love to grab the disc; get a little excercise and have some laughs.

Thanks Aerobie & REI - best $10 I've ever spent. Priceless!
