I bought my flip camera a year ago and liked it pretty well, although for a long time I really didn’t have all that much to do that needed it. I futzed around with it a little and got some decent material, most of it the video equivalent of snapshots, and learned a good bit about its limitations in the process (the “zoom” makes things super-grainy, the inability to manually adjust lighting or color balance means you don’t always get the colors you’re trying to capture, but sometimes means they actually look even better than on other cameras, and so on). No big deal; I’m a film/digital media student and when I need better equipment I can borrow that from school anyway.

Then I started working on a small documentary project, about an animal rehab situation and a young squirrel that’s being raised for release. Given the animal’s sensitivity to strange objects around it, there was no way I was going to get usable footage with big video gear, and the flip image would decent enough for it. So I started recording the footage with the flip camera.

First, I’m annoyed by the misleading advertising for the camera. It says you can record 60 minutes, but my camera always stopped recording, claiming it was full, after about 51 minutes. NOT helpful when you’re trying to plan for how much material you can shoot in between offloads and recharges… even if you’re just shooting vacation footage or something. When you’re working on an actual video project, it can be a nasty surprise.

And then the battery died. After I’d shot about four hours of material on the camera (and maybe a total of two additional hours’ worth of material in the last year), I plugged it into my computer, offloaded the latest round of videos, and noticed that the “charging” light wouldn’t come on. When I unplugged it a few hours later, the battery was still in the red. Naturally this happened halfway through my documentary filming, and I’m scrambling to make arrangements to use someone else’s camera to finish things up, hoping I can either borrow someone’s Flip (and try not to kill it, too) or get another system that records in 720p and produces similar enough results that it won’t be obvious I changed cameras!
