I read reviews on the HD version, and there were a lot of complaints about choppy playback on a computer. Not so with the standard unit. Loren, when you started this thread I just KNEW you were looking for a small mirror setup that you could use at work! Tsk, Tsk. I'll keep my eyes out for you! Sammy

Thanks for the links MB. My next project will be constructing one of those mirroRS. I used a mirror that cost me 7 bux from walmart and you can also purchase those small 12" mirrors from there too at a cheap price to construct your portable mirror.

I got my Flip Ultra II at Best Buy last week, on sale for $119.99. I just checked their website and the price is back up to $149.99.
Keep an eye out. I bet they go on sale again.

Slickdeals.net is your friend. Deals pop up often.
And with regards to the choppy playback with HD, I have a flip Ultra HD and it works like a charm. |

Playback on one's computer would have to do with the computer's hardware, not the camera itself.

Ended up getting myself a Flip MinoHD 120 and just love it.
Such a great value. I didn't really need it... but I'm going to use it to make videos. As far as practicing goes, at home... my webcam is perfect.
Thanks for all of the suggestions! |

Remember to get a tripod or decent mount so you can point, frame, start and then get playback something that's useful.

I purchased this mini-tripod at Amazon for my Flip-Ultra and just received it the other day.
http://www.amazon.com/Joby-GP1-D1EN-Gori......_p_img_a It's tiny - about 5" high - but it works perfectly. You can set it up on a table or twist the legs around just about anything to get the angle you want. Jim |

... and point it at the worst possible angle.
Another important use of your webcam and tripod is, if you are not performing strolling, filming your audience as you perform. You will gain real audience reactions and be able to time your patter, develop changes of pace, place some high amplitude of attention at the right moment, "place" your voice, increase suspense and wonder in your audience... If, as I do, you perform strolling, get a friend to film the audience reactions and to forget about filming you. The sound track supplies the mental link you need as you watch the spectators' reactions. All of this is more important than a high end craftsman new coin set: get the feeling of your audiences and start managing it.

Hi all, I was reading this thread and I wanted to let anyone who has an Iphone 3G know that Apple has finally allowed Apps in the App Store that allow you to record Video from your Iphone. Just Search for camcorder, or Video camera, video etc...
You will be surprised how many apps there are now. hope this helps some of you. Gerald

Man, I really wish I knew this before. Quite handy! These camcorder apps actually work incredibly well. Thanks so much for telling me Gerald. I truly appreciate it! Now when I need to make a quick vid, I can... now I need something to hold my iPhone. iPhone tripod? LOL.

What I would find useful is some free Windows software that would mirror from the webcam FULL SCREEN in real time. This would be especially useful when practicing sleights. If, additionally, it allows recording, then so much the better.
Windows Movie Maker and Skype allow preview of the webcam output, but only in a small window. There is a free utility which will do what I want called My Screen Cam, but this appears to have viral adware/malware. Any other suggestions? Mike |
