Good camera, easy to use. A knucklehead can use this. Theres only a few buttons, one of them is red - you obviously press the big red button for to start recording!
Did have trouble with getting an error message when downloading the videos (which is also easy - you just plug the retractable arm into the USB port - I advise getting a USB extension chord to use this bit as its easier to plug in)
Something about having to validate my version of Windows, which was annoying..
You might wanna check out your Windows media player version in this instance
I believe FlipVideo has a webpage that tells you what your computer requirements are for to download the program to get your videos to the the web (this it does automatically - you plug the retractable arm into the USB port and after that its simple
(Unless you're pestered by messages saying you need to Validate your copy of Windows.. annoying!!)
From there (after plugging in the arm and having the Flip Video on your computer screen) its easy to put videos on Youtube (or Myspace) - you just put in your id (your Youtube user id, for instance) and the password for your account, and you're in! It downloads the videos you choose (you can choose all) and puts them automatically on your channel
So I like this bit. Again: easy to use!
But make you don't have a problem with your laptop. Maybe try it out in the shop by bringing your laptop to the retail store, plug it in and testing it out
A tripod might be an option, but I can't advice on that account as I haven't used one (yet). I just notice theres a hole in the bottom of the unit you can put the tripod into
Definitely get a USB extension to plug this into because otherwise you risk damage to the arm or device by trying to fit it into the computer (on my laptop this was hard - the USB ports are on the back and I had to put several books underneath my laptop with the camcorder hanging from the arm!)
Easy to use - you just press a red button and you can start recording. There are arrow keys on the back that allow you to view your videos on the screen; deleting said videos an easy option as well (you press a trash can icon next to the huge red button)
Sound is ok, video qualitys ok. Easy to use, you can watch the videos on your tv thanks to an accompanying color cable cable if you feel like
A lot of fun actually, as its the size of a cigarette case and you can fit it in your pocket. A bag to carry it is included with the camcorder, along with 2 batteries (Duracell)
This records up to an hour of film. I believe rechargable batteries will be alright for use with this item (The Duracell batteries included in the package are just regular AA)
Easy to put the batteries in and out. I tend to take them out when I'm not using, just to be safe. VERY easy to use (I can not stress this enough)
Just make sure your computers alright - you might wanna check this out at the store briging your laptop to make sure you don't have trouble in this regard - it can be annoying!
Thats my only trouble though. It seems to work well, easy to use (VERY easy to use) and I think this is a good product
I hope this is of some help
