I’ve found a new gadget that I want to try. It’s the Flip Ultra from Pure Digital.

I’ve been looking for a video recording product for the school for a while now. So far I’ve been leaning towards some of the SD-based cameras out there so we don’t have any tape dramas, no internal disks get damaged if the camera cops a accidental shunt from a student, and we can get files onto the computer via USB or a card reader.

All that was until I came across this on Marco Torres’ blog. Not only does it all look great and very easy to use, it’s very smartly priced - always a good feature for schools looking to maximise the limited dollars. All reports indicate that one of it’s great features is it’s abilities in low-light situations.

So, all I need to do is get one for the purposes of testing for school. Perhaps I can get the kids using it too…? Maybe they’ll need to get it out of my hands first…
