The popular Flip mini-camcorders provide a small and inexpensive solution for those looking for an easy way to capture video specifically for sharing on the Internet. Pure Digital Technologies has regularly updated its Flip line, and, with the release of the $199.99 Flip UltraHD, it provides a high-quality camcorder that can capture up to 2 hours of high-quality video. In tests, the quality of the HD video from the Flip UltraHD was good, and, with a greater storage capacity, the Flip UltraHD is a better option than the $229.99 Flip MinoHD, whose main benefit is a slimmer form factor.

- Rubberized Surface
The new Flip UltraHD has a rubberized surface that provides a better grip and is more smudge-resistant than other Flips. - HD TV
The Flip UltraHD is quite a bit thicker than the Flip MinoHD, but also has the ability to hook up to an HD TV through an HDMI connection. - Press Here
The mainly button-free interface found on most other Flips has been replaced with physical buttons on the Flip UltraHD. - USB on the Side
The integrated USB connection on the Flip UltraHD pops out of the side of the unit rather than the top, as is common in most other Flips. - FlipShare
The FlipShare software bundled with the Flip UltraHD is the same as in other Flips, providing simple editing capabilities and features for direct uploads to Websites. - Relatively Good Video Quality
The quality of the HD video from the Flip UltraHD, while not the best, was pretty good for such a small and inexpensive camcorder.
