If your normal home movies are about as badly put together as Pete Doherty's tailoring, what you need is the world's simplest and easiest camcorder. Trying to catch those beautiful one-off moments without the fuss and bother - and cost - of a heavy-duty model used to mean trading in quality footage for convenience. No longer, traveller.
Enter the bad boy of movie making: the Flip, an ultra-easy digital video camera that's already taken America by storm. This camcorder is like Herman Munster: simple, sturdy, and with a heart of gold. The secret is that it's so simple to use, anyone from 5 years to 105 can have a go: press the large button that says 'on', press the button that says 'start' and hocus pocus - you're the cul-de-sac's very own Stanley Kubrick all of a sudden.
Easy to use
Whether you're shooting your dog dressed up like Yoda for a Star Wars re-enactment or simply your pal Dave falling off a fence in a priceless "You've Been Framed" moment, you'll be amazed at how well the Flip Ultra stands up to the scrutiny of critics: with 2GB of memory on board, you've got enough brains in there for 60 minutes of filming at a crisp 640 x 480 pixels in MPG4 format. There's no need to worry about the palaver of focusing - it's automatic, and with a 2x zoom available you'll be able to dispense with your Gaffer, Best Boy and all the rest of the crew.
computer software
And just like Gremlins, the SAS and moths, Flip Ultra excels in low light conditions - so indoors shooting and evening trips are a doddle to put down for posterity, even when you compare the results to cameras five times the price.
When you're done shooting, just press stop. No clapperboards required. And here's the really smart thing: the Flip has a natty little USB plug built into its casing, that flips out at the touch of a button and lets you download your movies in a trice, with no cables to lose. There's also no software to lose either - all the technical jiggery-pokery lives inside Flip's body, so as soon as it's plugged in you're ready to watch your creations - what the hell, even upload them directly to YouTube. This is the 21st century after all.
